Ingredients
  

For the Grill
  • 1 whole Fresh Pineapple The star of this dish, it brings natural sweetness and stays sturdy when grilled.
  • 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar This sweetener caramelizes beautifully, creating a scrumptious crust on the pineapple.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper Adds a kick of spice; feel free to adjust or skip for a milder flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances the sweetness, creating a more complex flavor profile.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt A pinch balances the sweetness and emphasizes the overall flavor.
Optional Garnish
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Mint Leaves A refreshing touch that brightens the dish, adding both color and flavor.

Method
 

Grilling Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a small bowl, combine light brown sugar, cayenne pepper, vanilla extract, and kosher salt. Stir until the mixture becomes moist and crumbly.
  3. Slice the fresh pineapple into spears or thick rounds, removing the core. Coat the pineapple pieces with the seasoning mixture.
  4. Grill the coated pineapple pieces for 2 to 3 minutes per side until caramelized and golden brown.
  5. Transfer the grilled pineapple to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
