This grilled pineapple is a fresh and easy side dish that is easy to throw together during a BBQ party of a weeknight dinner!
I know, I know, most of you are probably saying to yourselves, “Grilled pineapple, eh? Wouldn’t I just cut up a pineapple and put it on a grill? Why do I need a recipe?” Well, I’ll tell you. There is a delicate method of making a man-licious pineapple. Use these methods and it will turn out great!
Now, for story time: Have you ever been to a Brazilian Steakhouse? I have. On nearly every special occasion that we can rationalize, Sarah and I love going to these paradises of meat. After a session of cave-man style meat-eating glory, the best thing to wash it all down with is a sweet, juicy, caramelized piece of pineapple.

This grilled pineapple is a fresh and easy side dish that is easy to throw together during a BBQ party of a weeknight dinner!
Ingredients
- 1 pineapple cut into thick slices
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 Tbsp water
Instructions
-
Cut the pineapple into thick slices.
-
Combine all the other ingredients into a bowl and stir until the sugar is mostly dissolved. Put this mixture in a sauté pan and cook on medium-low heat just until the mixture starts to bubble a little. At this point, it's done. If you cook too much, it will turn into rock-hard delicious candy and will be impossible to apply to the pineapple...though it may be good to nibble on afterwards.
-
Apply your juicy-goodness-sauce to the pineapple slices. Make sure your grill is nice and hot, and place the pieces on the grill. As the pineapple cooks, add more of the sauce - kind of like a progressive basting process.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and following. Can’t wait to make this tonight. It will go great with the pork that we are making. I love pineapple.
Lovely recipe. Looks Yummy. Thanks for charing. Hopping from the Motivated monday link party
I just pinned that! I would never think to grill pineapple, but I’ve had it on a squire before with some other grilled fruit you wouldn’t think to grill. Hey I am a new follower on GFC. Please stop by sometime! Thanks!

Hello.
Visiting from Serenity Saturday.
My wife likes to make kabobs and she always adds pineapple to the sticks. We don’t have an outdoor grill, but she uses an indoor tabletop grill or cooks them in the oven. The pineapple tastes so yummy once it’s grilled. My mouth is already watering! (smile) Thanks for sharing.
