Instructions

Prepare the pineapple by removing the crown and base. Stand it upright and slice off the skin from top to bottom, following the contours of the fruit.
Remove any remaining 'eyes' with a paring knife. Cut the pineapple into wedges about 1-inch thick.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, and cinnamon to create the glaze.
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium heat. Lightly oiling the grill grates can help prevent sticking.
Dip each pineapple wedge into the honey-lime glaze, ensuring it's lightly coated on both sides.
Place the pineapple wedges on the preheated grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is tender and caramelized. Look for a nice char, which adds a smoky depth of flavor.
Transfer the grilled pineapple wedges to a serving platter. Brush them with any remaining glaze for extra flavor and shine.
Serve the honey-glazed grilled pineapple wedges warm. They're delicious on their own or as a topping for ice cream or yogurt.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

If pineapple wedges stick to the grill pan, brush the pan with oil.
Use semi-ripe or fully ripe pineapple.
For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
If using fresh pineapple, cut it into thick rings or spears to prevent breakage, or thread onto skewers for easier handling.
Brush the glaze onto the pineapple before and during grilling for a caramelized exterior, but avoid adding too much at once to prevent burning.
Serve warm with coconut ice cream or toasted coconut flakes.

Expert Tips

Soaking wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling will prevent them from burning.
For a smoky flavor, add a few wood chips to your grill.
Grilling the pineapple alongside other fruits like peaches or mangoes creates a delicious mixed grill.
