Ingredients
  

1 ripe pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon melted coconut oil (or vegetable oil)

Pinch of sea salt

Optional garnish: fresh mint leaves, and vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pineapple: Start by cutting the pineapple into thick slices. Make sure to remove the core from each slice to ensure they grill evenly.

    Make the Flavor Mix: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well so that the sugar is evenly coated with cinnamon.

      Coat Pineapple: Brush each side of the pineapple slices with melted coconut oil. This will help them grill beautifully and prevent sticking.

        Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over both sides of the pineapple slices, pressing lightly to adhere.

          Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan indoors, heat it over medium-high heat as well.

            Grill the Pineapple: Place the pineapple slices on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until you see nice grill marks and the sugar has caramelized.

              Serve: Once grilled, remove the slices from the grill and let them cool for a minute. Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves.

                Optional Indulgence: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast of hot and cold flavors.
