Summary: Celiac.com 07/14/2023 - Grilling pineapple takes this tropical fruit to a whole new level. The heat of the grill caramelizes the sugars, intensifying its natural sweetness, and creating a slightly charred and smoky flavor. To elevate the flavor profile even further, we add a touch of spice with chili powder. This subtle heat enhances the sweetness of the pineapple, adding a delightful kick that lingers on your taste buds. Don't worry, it's not overwhelmingly spicy, but rather a gentle heat, that adds depth and complexity to each mouthwatering bite. Ingredients: 1 fresh pineapple 3 tablespoons brown sugar 1 tablespoon lime juice 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon honey or agave nectar 1½ teaspoons chili powder Dash salt Directions Peel pineapple, removing any eyes from fruit. Cut lengthwise into 6 wedges; remove core. In a small bowl, mix remaining ingredients until blended. Brush pineapple with half of the glaze; reserve remaining mixture for basting. Grill pineapple, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 inches from heat 2-4 minutes on each side or until lightly browned, basting occasionally with reserved glaze.
