Ingredients
  

1 ripe pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into rings

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon lime juice

Pinch of salt

Optional: Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pineapple: Start by slicing the pineapple into thick rings, about ¾ inch each. Ensure that you remove the core for a better grilling experience.

    Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, honey, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. This will create a delicious glaze for the pineapple.

      Marinate: Brush the pineapple rings on both sides with the marinade. If you have time, let them sit for about 15-30 minutes to soak up the flavors.

        Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high. Clean and oil the grates to help prevent sticking.

          Grill the Pineapple: Place the marinated pineapple rings on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until you see lovely grill marks and the pineapple begins to caramelize.

            Serve: Remove from the grill and arrange on a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top for extra flavor. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.

              Enjoy: Serve warm as a side dish, dessert, or even on skewers with shrimp or chicken for a savory-sweet meal!
