Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 375-450°F or 190-230°C). Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Prepare the Pineapple: Using a sharp knife, remove the top and bottom of the pineapple. Stand the pineapple upright and carefully slice off the peel, following the curve of the fruit. Cut the pineapple lengthwise into 8 wedges. Remove the tough core from each wedge. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Grill the Pineapple: Place the pineapple wedges on the preheated grill. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is slightly softened and caramelized. (6-9 minutes)

04

Step

Season and Serve: Remove the grilled pineapple wedges from the grill and immediately sprinkle generously with Tajin chili-lime seasoning. Serve warm and enjoy!

For a deeper smoky flavor, try using wood chips like hickory or mesquite in a smoker box or foil packet on your grill.
If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can use a grill pan on your stovetop or even broil the pineapple in the oven.
Adjust the amount of Tajin seasoning to your liking. For extra spice, use Tajin Habanero or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Serve grilled pineapple as a side dish with grilled meats or fish, or as a dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
