Ingredients
– 1 fresh pineapple, top, bottom, and skin removed
– 1/4 cup brown sugar for caramelized sweetness
– 2 tablespoons maple syrup to enhance glaze and flavor
– 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt (to taste) to balance sweetness and add tanginess
Instructions
1-Getting started on this Brown Sugar Grilled Pineapple is as easy as firing up your grill. Begin by preheating it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, which sets the stage for even cooking and prevents burning. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and maple syrup together, whisking until combined but leaving some grains for texture.
2-Next, slice your pineapple into 3/4-inch thick rounds and spread the mixture evenly on both sides of each slice. This step ensures every bite is full of that sweet, caramelized goodness. Place the coated slices on the grill grates and cook for 4 to 8 minutes per side, adjusting based on how charred you like it.

This dish works great as a side or topped with ice cream for a quick dessert. With just 5 minutes of prep and 16 minutes of cook time, totaling 21 minutes, youβll have a tasty treat ready in no time. For more tips, keep an eye on the grill temperature around 350Β°F to make sure the sugar glaze doesnβt burn too quickly, helping you achieve that ideal caramelized texture.
