Ingredients

1 fresh pineapple (peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch thick rings)
1/4 cup honey
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
pinch salt (just a pinch)
as needed cooking spray (for the grill)
2 cups vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
8 fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

1

Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates with as needed cooking spray (for the grill) to prevent sticking.
2

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1/4 cup honey, 2 tbsp unsalted butter, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and pinch salt (just a pinch). Stir until butter is melted and mixture is well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
3

Place 1 fresh pineapple (peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch thick rings) rings directly on the grill grates. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side until grill marks appear and the pineapple begins to caramelize.
4

While grilling, brush the pineapple with half of the honey-cinnamon glaze, reserving the rest for serving.
5

Once the pineapple is grilled on both sides and slightly caramelized, remove from the grill and place on a serving plate.
6

Drizzle the remaining honey-cinnamon glaze over the grilled pineapple.
7

Serve warm, garnished with 8 fresh mint leaves (for garnish) and a scoop of 2 cups vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving) if desired.

Questions

Can I make Grilled Pineapple with Cinnamon Honey Glaze dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 2 tbsp unsalted butter, 2 cups vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving). Swap the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed; the vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving) for a plant-based version of the same product. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Grilled Pineapple with Cinnamon Honey Glaze keep?

Keep it covered in the refrigerator and eat it within three days.

Can I halve or double Grilled Pineapple with Cinnamon Honey Glaze?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubling on the grill just takes more surface area; keep the heat zones the same.
