Servings: 4 people
Cost: $5.00
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 large pineapple, skin removed and cut into thick slices
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Preheat grill to medium/high heat. For charcoal grill, prepare for direct grilling. The target temperature should be 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Season: On a sheet tray, lay down the pineapple rounds and brush with olive oil. Add a light dusting of the salt and place over direct heat. While grilling, brush the remaining oil and a dusting of salt over the other side of the pineapple.
- Grill Direct: Grill for 5 to 8 minutes until you see your desired color and then flip. Cook another 4 to 6 minutes until soft and you achieve your desired grill marks.
- Serve: Remove form heat, remove core if desired, and stack onto a serving platter as appetizer or side for your main meal.
Notes
For added flavor, consider dusting with some finishing salt, or aged balsamic drizzle, honey, or hot honey. If you have a coring tool - remove the core. If you don't, you can slice the core out after it's grilled.
