Ingredients

4 tablespoons melted butter
4 tablespoons raw sugar or brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice or lime juice
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
⅛ teaspoon sea salt
1 pineapple peeled and cut into ¾ inch slices

Instructions

In a small bowl, add 4 tablespoons melted butter, 4 tablespoons raw sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, ⅛ teaspoon sea salt, and mix well.
Pour the prepared glaze over pineapple slices, and ensure both sides are coated well. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
Heat the cast iron grill pan over medium heat (or an outdoor grill). Coat the pan (or grill gates) with little oil or cooking spray.
Grill the pineapple slices for 4-5 minutes on each side, basting once or more with the remaining glaze, or until golden and caramelized on both sides.
Remove from the grill pan and serve the way you like.

Notes

1. Choose a good pineapple! When ripe, it’ll be a yellow-green color and will have a little give when you squeeze it.
2. Make sure you use medium heat. If you grill the pineapple at too high a temperature, it’ll burn the pineapple on the outside and leave the inside uncooked.
3. With that said, when you’re cooking it on medium heat, you can cook it to your desired doneness! I like to cook 4-5 minutes on each side, but you might like to go for 6-8 minutes.
4. Leftovers will last up to 3 days in airtight container stored in the refrigerator. Eat it cold, or reheat it on the stovetop or the grill until it’s warmed through.
