Ingredients

  • 1 whole pineapple
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil melted
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Use a large sharp knife and cutting board to cut off both the top and bottom part of the pineapple. Next turn the pineapple on one of it’s cut ends and start slicing the prickly outside skin off. Cut in small portions, making sure to curve around the slightly wider middle section of the pineapple. Do this until all of the outside skin is removed (you can throw the skin away).
  • Place the pineapple on its side and cut into thick slices, between half an inch and one inch wide. Put the cut slices of pineapple in a large bowl and pour the melted coconut oil over them. Measure out the ground cinnamon with a measuring spoon and sprinkle it over the pineapple. Use your hands to rub the oil and cinnamon all over the pineapple, making sure each slice is fully covered.
  • Heat the grill to 400 degrees F. Once it’s fully heated, place the pineapple slices on the grill with a pair of tongs. Close the lid and cook for 5 minutes, then open the lid and use the tongs to flip the pineapple slices over onto the other side. Close the lid and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes - this will vary depending on how thick your slices are. Check after the first 5 minutes (after flipping the pineapple), then if not done, cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
  • To test if your pineapple is done, take a fork and press it into the flesh of the pineapple on one side (an inch or two outside of the middle core, not in the core itself). If the fork goes in easily it is done cooking. If it has some resistance and is not soft, keep cooking it for another 2 to 3 minutes. Once all the slices are done, remove the pineapple with the tongs and serve immediately.
