Grilled pineapple offers a delightful blend of sweetness, tartness, and smoky caramelization. The addition of cinnamon enhances the warmth and adds a comforting spice note.
The primary flavor is the intense sweetness of caramelized pineapple sugars, contrasted by its inherent tartness. Grilling concentrates the sugars, creating a rich, browned exterior with a softer, juicy interior. Cinnamon adds warmth and earthy undertones, complementing the fruit's sweetness.

Pineapple Selection
Choose a ripe pineapple that yields slightly to pressure but isn't overly soft. Look for a sweet aroma and a healthy green crown.
Preparation
Peel and core the pineapple, then slice it into rings or spears about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. This thickness allows for even grilling without burning.
Grilling Technique
Preheat your grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. Grill the pineapple for 2-3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the fruit is heated through.
Cinnamon Enhancement
Sprinkle the pineapple slices with ground cinnamon before or after grilling for a warm, spiced flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve grilled pineapple warm as a side dish, a topping for burgers or pizza, or as a component in desserts like ice cream sundaes or grilled fruit skewers.
