Creating Brown Sugar Grilled Pineapple is simple and quick if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare the Pineapple: Start by cutting off the top and bottom of the pineapple. Stand it upright and slice off the outer skin. Once peeled, cut the pineapple into thick slices or rings.

2. Make the Sugar Mixture: In a bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon if you choose to use it. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

3. Coat the Pineapple: Generously coat each pineapple slice with the brown sugar mixture, ensuring an even layer on both sides. You can also melt the butter and brush it onto the pineapple slices for added flavor.

4. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, make sure it’s adequately heated and lightly oiled.

5. Grill the Pineapple: Place the sugar-coated pineapple slices on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side until you see nice grill marks and the sugar has caramelized.

6. Check for Doneness: The pineapple should become tender and juicy. You can adjust the grilling time based on your preference for char.

7. Remove from Heat: Once grilled to perfection, remove the pineapple slices from the grill and set them aside to cool slightly.

8. Serve or Store: If you’re not serving immediately, allow it to cool down and then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

By following these steps, you’ll have beautifully grilled pineapple that’s bursting with flavor, ready to wow your guests.
