Grilled pineapple – Slim kitchen

This simple roasted brown sugar pineapple is one of the best things on the grill. It has delicious barbecue marks and can be used in a variety of ways.

My family loves baked pineapple and a scoop of vanilla ice cream and coconut sorbet or chopped in grilled pineapple salsa for fish tacos! It’s an easy way to add regular pineapple to jazz, perfect for the sweet side of barbecue, tacos, burgers, and more.

How to choose a pineapple?

If you want to make a truly delicious grilled pineapple, it all starts with choosing a ripe, delicious pineapple. If it is too green, it will lack sweetness, and if it is too mature, it will taste fermented. Here’s what to look for:

• Leaves: They should be bright green and healthy. Make sure they don’t shrink or brown.
• color: It should be a green color with some bright yellow peek. If it’s really green, it’s not ready yet. If it starts to turn brown, it’s too mature.
• squeeze: Give the pineapple a gentle squeeze. It should have only a little dedication, but on the firm side. It should not be soft or pasty.
• bottom: It should be yellower and should smell sweet and fresh. If it smells too high, it’s too mature. Also, if the base turns brown or is basically soft, it’s too mature.

How to grill pineapple

Cut the pineapple into a ring or half a circle. You can remove the core or simply eat around. Then, brush the pineapple with brown sugar and let stand for 10 minutes. This helps bring out the sweetness of the pineapple and helps it caramel on the grill.

Make sure your grill is clean and lightly oil the grate. Place the pineapple directly on the grate and cook for 2-4 minutes on each side until a nice grill is formed and the pineapple begins to brown and caramelize. Flip and repeat.

Expert tips: No grill? Use a baking tray instead!

Cut pineapple for barbecue

Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple to make it easy to stand on the cutting board. Then, just cut the edges off to remove the crust. I took the extra step to make the pineapple beautiful, but the simple straightforward cut works great.

Then, you have two options. If you need a round pineapple, you will need to use pineapple acid. If you eat a lot of pineapples, these are definitely worth the money as they make pineapples very easy to cut.

The second option is to cut the pineapple in half. Then, cut out the core with a sharp knife. Basically, you are cutting out a long triangle from each section. Then, cut it into slices.

Recipes and seasonings

• Make it spicy: If you like sweet and spicy, add a pinch of chili, Taj or chili powder to the pineapple before putting it on the grill.
• Add rum: Adults may like to dip pineapple in coconut rum before placing it on the grill. They only take about 10 minutes to absorb the flavor in some rums, and after the cocktail, you can still use pineapple-infused rum. For a more subtle flavor, just brush the pineapple with rum.
• Add curry: For delicious applications, consider sprinkling some curry powder with pineapple. The earthy flavor of curry powder, the pineapple flavor is really good.
• Asian flavor: If you plan to use these pineapples next to Asian-style dishes, consider drizzling the pineapple with some soy sauce before placing it on the grill. Sriracha is great, too. Then sprinkle sesame seeds on the grill.
• barbecue: For a classic barbecue feel, brush the pineapple slices with barbecue sauce. You can miss brown sugar or use less, because the barbecue sauce already contains sugar.
• Add spices: Sprinkle a little cinnamon or nutmeg over the grilled pineapple to warm it up a little.
