Easy Grilled Pineapple Recipe: Here's How to Grill a Perfect Pineapple Every Time (It's So Good) Grilling Fruit

Cooking and grilling outside is a way of life around my house, all year round. My latest obsession? Grilling fresh pineapple! After spending too much time peeling a fresh pineapple recently, I wasn’t very happy when it turned out to be not so sweet. I’d heard that grilling can bring out the sweetness, so I threw it on the grill. Success! The pineapple was sweet and delicious, and found a home on our chicken burgers that night.

Ingredients

• 1 whole pineapple
  

Here's how to make it:

• Peel and core the pineapple.

• Cut it into rings.

• Heat your grill to about medium.

• Place rings directly on grill and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, checking often so they don't burn.

Here are some ways to use grilled pineapple:

1. Dice it up and mix with chopped tomato, onion and cilantro for a healthy salsa.
2. Top beef, chicken or turkey burgers with a ring or two.
3. Cube your pineapple and make kebabs with chicken or beef and your favorite vegetables.
4. Top hot grilled pineapple with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. 
5. Skewer cubes of pineapple and then grill for a kid-friendly snack.
