The Best brazilian grilled pineapple recipe

I’ve been making Brazilian grilled pineapple recipe for my family for years, and it’s always a hit. The dish is simple yet flavorful, and it’s perfect for any occasion. I love how the sweetness of the pineapple pairs with the smokiness of the grill.

It’s a great way to get my kids to eat more fruits and vegetables. The key to this recipe is to use a high-quality pineapple that’s not too ripe, as it will hold its shape better when grilled. To make it, you’ll need a few ingredients: pineapple, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a bit of oil for brushing the grill.

You can also add some chopped nuts or coconut flakes on top for extra texture and flavor. My kids love helping me assemble the skewers, and we always have a fun time grilling them together. This recipe is also great for meal prep, as you can prepare the ingredients ahead of time and grill them when you’re ready.

I like to serve it as a side dish or add it to my favorite salads for extra flavor. The best part about this recipe is that it’s incredibly easy to make and requires minimal cleanup. Simply brush the grill with some oil, thread the pineapple onto skewers, and cook until caramelized.

I like to serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra-special treat. This recipe is perfect for summer gatherings or potlucks, as it’s easy to transport and can be made in large quantities.

For the Pineapple

1 large ripe pineapple
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp lime juice

For Serving

1 cup vanilla ice cream
1/4 cup chopped toasted almonds

👨‍🍳Directions

1Prepare the grill or grill pan by heating it to medium-high heat, around 400°F.
2Clean the grill grates.
3Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4 equal wedges.
4Use a knife to score the flesh of each wedge in a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut all the way through the skin.
5In a small bowl, mix honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, and lime juice until well combined.
6Brush the mixture evenly over the pineapple wedges, ensuring each wedge is well coated.
7Place the pineapple wedges on the preheated grill, flesh side down.
8Grill for 4-5 minutes, or until the pineapple has nice grill marks and the flesh has softened slightly.
9Flip the wedges and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes, brushing with any remaining glaze.
10Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
11Serve the grilled pineapple wedges with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a sprinkle of chopped toasted almonds.
12The ice cream should be slightly melted, creating a creamy contrast to the warm, caramelized pineapple.
