Ingredients
  

1 ripe pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch thick rings

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

A pinch of sea salt

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Grill: Start by preheating your grill to a medium-high temperature. If you are using a grill pan instead, set it on the stove over medium heat to ensure it warms up evenly.

    Make the Glaze: In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey, melted butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This delightful glaze will beautifully accentuate the natural sweetness of the pineapple.

      Coat the Pineapple: Arrange the pineapple rings in a shallow dish. Using a brush, generously apply the honey glaze to both sides of the pineapple rings. Allow the pineapple to marinate for approximately 10 minutes, giving it enough time to absorb the flavors of the glaze.

        Grill the Pineapple: Once the grill is sufficiently hot, carefully place the glazed pineapple rings onto the grill grates. Grill each side for about 3-4 minutes, until distinct grill marks develop. Flip the rings and continue grilling for another 3-4 minutes on the opposite side.

          Check for Doneness: The pineapple should become tender and have a caramelized appearance. Keep a close watch on the rings to prevent them from burning – you want that perfect golden-brown color!

            Serve: After grilling, remove the pineapple rings from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining honey glaze over the top for an extra touch of sweetness. If desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.

              Enjoy with Lime: Serve the grilled pineapple warm, accompanied by a squeeze of fresh lime juice right before indulging. Place lime wedges on the side for an added refreshing twist!
