Ingredients
- 1 ripe pineapple
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- Pinch of salt (optional, to enhance sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat to ensure it’s ready for cooking the pineapple slices evenly.
- Prepare Pineapple: Peel and core the pineapple carefully, then slice it into rings approximately 1/2 inch thick for perfect grilling thickness.
- Add Flavor: If desired, drizzle the pineapple slices with honey and sprinkle with ground cinnamon and a pinch of salt to enhance the sweetness and add extra flavor.
