The beauty of grilled pineapple is that the sugars the fruit contains will caramelize and that makes it an exquisite and flavorful experience. In other words, to make pineapple on the grill, you don't have to put absolutely anything on it.
You can grill your pineapple on your backyard grill, but you can also do it on the stovetop on a grill pan. You just have to spray a bit of vegetable oil on the pan and grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side. You can eat the pineapple with vanilla ice cream and some mint leaves, or yogurt.
Below I suggest some butter and brown sugar before grilling, but that's entirely up to you, but it WILL help the fruit brown better. Any way you grill it, though, it's a simple and healthy dessert you have to try today!
