How to Grill Pineapple Slices
Grilled pineapple slices add a tropical twist to any dish. In this tutorial, you will be learning how to grill pineapple slices perfectly so you can make your favorite foods even more delicious. These pineapple slices are marinated in ginger, honey, and orange juice, making them the perfect sweet addition to your barbecue.
If you are ready to cook these amazing pineapple slices, fire up your grill and let’s dive right into this easy tutorial.
Step #1. Prepare Ingredients
- 10 pineapple slices
- 1 cup orange juice
- ½ cup honey
- 2 tbsp. ginger, grated
- Outdoor grill
- Tongs
- Zip-top bag
- Pastry brush
Step #2. Prepare the Marinade
Mix the orange juice, honey and ginger together in a bowl.
Step #3. Marinate the Pineapple Slices
Place the pineapple slices inside a plastic bag, and pour the orange juice inside to marinate. Let it sit for at least 2 hours (so that they really absorb the juice).
Step #4. Grill the Pineapple Slices
Gas grill: Heat grill to medium. Turn off half of the burners for an indirect and direct heat source.
Charcoal: Heat the coals of the grill and place them on one side of the barbecue, to have a zone of direct heat and another of indirect heat in order to have an area to keep the pineapple warm after grilling.
Grill the pineapple slices until browned. Turn them over and grill them on the other side (around 10 minutes per side). They can be brushed with the marinade halfway through cooking.
For this part, it’s best to use the direct heat so you get the beautiful marks of the grill, and if you want to keep them warm until serving time you can place them over indirect heat – always watching them so they don’t burn.
Step #5. Serve & Enjoy
Although they taste great just the way they are, some people like to add a little hot sauce to give their pineapple an extra kick. Did you know that grilled pineapple slices taste amazing on top of pulled pork barbecue sandwiches? The tanginess of the pineapple contrasts beautifully with the savory flavor of perfectly cooked barbecued meat.
Of course, there’s nothing stopping you from eating them on their own; pineapple slices make for a healthy and delicious treat. How do you like your pineapple slices?
If you didn’t devour them all, you are going to want to store them properly. If you plan to use them within a few days, they will do just fine in an airtight container inside your refrigerator.
