Grilled Whole Pineapple

Grilled Pineapple is something every outdoor cooking enthusiast should know how to do. I use this method when I want to make pineapple salsa or a sweet pineapple bbq sauce to slather over ribs.

Instructions

  • Preheat grill to medium heat. Make sure the grill grates are clean. Oil the grates carefully.
  • Cut the pineapple into half lengthwise, then if you like you can cut it one more time so you have quarters. They should be long and thin, with the top still attached for visual appeal (this is optional).
  • Brush the cut edges with olive oil.
  • Place cut side down on the grill. Cook until the pineapple browns, flip to brown all cut sides. Each side should take approximately 5 to 8 minutes, depending on your grill, and the ripeness of your pineapple. You want the cut sides to turn brown and pineapple to soften a bit.
  • Remove carefully from the grill and plate.
  • You can now try to stop yourself from eating the whole thing. Good luck with that.
  • Allow to cool and cut up to use in grilled pineapple salsa, or tropical pineapple sauce.
  • Serve with a tropical smile!
