Grilled Pineapple Recipe
To create this delectable grilled pineapple dish, gather these simple five ingredients:
Ingredients
- One fresh pineapple sliced into 1-inch rings
- Three tablespoons of melted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon of honey
- A dash of hot pepper sauce
- A pinch of salt to taste
Directions
- Place the pineapple rings in a spacious, resealable plastic bag. Pour in the melted butter, add the honey, a dash of hot pepper sauce, and a pinch of salt. Seal the bag securely and give it a good shake to ensure an even coating of the marinade. Allow the pineapple to marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes, or the best results, let it marinate overnight.
- Preheat your outdoor grill pellet to high heat. Lightly oil your grill grate to prevent sticking.
- Once the grill is ready, carefully place the marinated pineapple rings on it. Grill them until they are heated through and grill marks appear, which usually takes 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Serve your grilled pineapple rings as a delightful, caramelized treat that combines the sweetness of pineapple with a hint of smoky flavor from the grill. Enjoy a healthy grill recipe!
