How to Grill Pineapple

If you have never cooked pineapple on your grill before then you are in for a treat! This tropical fruit is so tasty when prepared this way.

1. Fire up that grill! Set on medium heat, around 350-400 degrees.

2. Peel and cut your pineapple into ½ inch slices. I do leave the core intact which should not be eaten. You could also cut your pineapple into one inch chunks and cook them on a skewer if you prefer.

3. Whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, cinnamon, and cayenne powder together in a small bowl.

4. With a basting brush, coat both sides of the pineapple slices. (I like to place the pineapple into a 9x13 baking dish and pour any of the remaining oil and vinegar mixture right on top of the fruit.) Let sit for 10 minutes.

5. Place pineapple on the grill and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side or until grill marks appear.

Enjoy!
