Grilled pineapple with cinnamon sugar glaze

We love grilling (can you tell? We’ve shared 3 other grill recipes this week! Mmm!) but our family has always enjoyed dessert after the meal so we’ve been on the hunt for sweet foods to grill. This grilled pineapple with a cinnamon sugar glaze dish hit the spot and is sweet with just the right amount of tang!

You can buy a pineapple core remover for a few bucks or, you can buy a can of pineapple rings and save yourself the time like these busy mommas did. 😉 Including prep + grilling time, we had this recipe from grill to plate in less than 15 minutes. Top with ice cream and your side dish a lá mode now becomes an official dessert. Boom!

If you’re grilling anyway, this is a simple recipe to dish up when the entree comes off. Our STOK grill has a top rack above the inserts that gave these rings the pretty charred grill lines without burning them. Deeelish! Want to try it?

Okay want to know a secret? We grilled these with our mango porkchops (recipe will be shared later today) and didn’t even save one pineapple ring for our spouses! That is bad, we know but oh, it was also soooo good! 😉
