Roasted Pineapple Honey Cinnamon (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Main
01 -
1 whole pineapple, peeled, cored, and sliced into spears
→ Marinade
02 -
60 ml (1/4 cup) honey
03 -
15 ml (1 tablespoon) freshly squeezed lime juice
04 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
→ Optional Glaze
05 -
14 g (1 tablespoon) unsalted butter, melted
06 -
13 g (1 tablespoon) granulated sugar
# Instructions:
01 -
Peel the pineapple, remove the core, and cut it into uniform spears.
02 -
Combine honey, lime juice, and ground cinnamon in a large zip-top bag or non-reactive container. Add pineapple spears and toss to coat thoroughly. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
03 -
Adjust oven rack to the top or second-highest position. Preheat broiler on high. Line a large baking tray with aluminum foil for ease of cleanup.
04 -
If desired, melt butter and stir in granulated sugar until dissolved to form a glaze.
05 -
Remove marinated pineapple spears from the bag, shaking off excess marinade. Arrange spears in a single layer on the prepared tray. Brush all sides with the optional butter-sugar glaze, if using.
06 -
Broil for 8–10 minutes, turning once, until the pineapple is caramelized and edges are golden. Monitor closely to prevent burning.
07 -
Transfer the caramelized pineapple to a serving platter while warm. Top with additional honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
Marinating the pineapple for longer enhances flavor intensity and tenderness.
02 -
The optional butter-sugar glaze assists in browning and adds a subtle richness.
