Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons of vegan butter
- 3 tablespoons of brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1 ripe pineapple peeled, cored, and sliced
Instructions
- In a small bowl, melt the vegan butter. Whisk in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Preheat the grill. Lightly oil the grates or spray with cooking spray. If using a grill pan, preheat over medium-high heat and spray lightly.
- Brush the brown sugar mixture onto both sides of each pineapple slice.
- Place the pineapple slices on the grill and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is lightly caramelized.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- Preheat the grill: For good grill marks and quick cooking (to avoid mushiness). Oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- For the best grill marks: Whether making grilled pineapple on a stove or using an outdoor grill, leave the slices to cook untouched for perfect grill marks.
- To save waste: Instead of wasting it, try making pineapple skin tea.
- Cooking time varies: Based on pineapple thickness and preferred doneness (tender-crisp to fork-tender. Avoid overcooking, or it’ll be mushy).
