You won’t believe how quickly and easily this grilled pineapple comes together. It will be ready in less than 15 minutes. Once you see how simple it is, you’ll want to add grilled pineapple to every dish you make!

Peel, core, and slice your pineapple.
Whisk together brown sugar, butter, lime juice, and coconut extract.
Brush the pineapple on both sides with the mixture.
Grill pineapple for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Pro-tip: If you don’t have a grill, you can use a grill plate or a saucepan on the stovetop and cook each pineapple slice over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side. You won’t get the pretty grill marks, but it will be just as delicious!

VARIATIONS / OPTIONS / ADD-INS

SALTED BUTTER: Feel free to use unsalted butter here. Sprinkle more sea salt at the end for taste if you would like.
LIME JUICE: You can replace this with lemon juice, either fresh or from concentrate.
SEA SALT: The best type of salt to use for this is either flaky or kosher sea salt. It helps counteract some of the sweetness of the pineapple.
