Equipment
- Grill
Ingredients
- 6 pineapple slices or spears
- 1 tbsp olive oil or any kind of vegetable oil
Instructions
- First let's preheat the grill. Open the lid and turn the heat to high. Then close the lid so the grill heats up faster.
- Slice the pineapple into rings or spears. Either shape works, as long as the slices are big enough to stay on top of the grates.
- Brush olive oil onto both sides of the pineapple slices.
- Open grill and turn down heat to medium low.
- Add pineapple to grill and close lid. Cook for 3 minutes.
- Check on pineapple and adjust the heat as necessary. Flip the slices over and close the grill lid. Cook for 4 more minutes or until the pineapple is cooked to your liking.
- Once pineapple is done, turn off the heat. Remove pineapple slices from grill and place on serving plate.
- Allow pineapple to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Optional: add any seasonings to the pineapple. A sprinkle of sugar brings out the natural sweetness
- Use olive oil or any vegetable oil. You can also omit the oil, if you prefer. It does prevent the pineapple from sticking to the grill
- Cook until pineapple are tender to your liking with uniform grill marks on both sides
