Favorite at a Brazilian steakhouse in Dallas. Not sure if this is the exact recipe they use but it tastes very close. Great side for kabobs and steak.

Tips:

  • For the best grilled pineapple, use ripe, fresh pineapple. Avoid pineapple that is too soft or has brown spots.
  • Cut the pineapple into thick slices, about 1 inch thick. This will help the pineapple stay moist and juicy when grilled.
  • Brush the pineapple slices with melted butter or olive oil. This will help them caramelize and brown nicely on the grill.
  • Season the pineapple slices with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This will enhance the flavor of the pineapple.
  • Grill the pineapple slices over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side, or until they are slightly charred and caramelized.
  • Serve the grilled pineapple slices immediately. They can be enjoyed on their own, or topped with yogurt, ice cream, or fruit salad.

Grilled pineapple can be enjoyed on its own, or it can be used as a topping for other dishes, such as yogurt, ice cream, or fruit salad.
