• 1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 8 spears 🍍 • ¼ cup light brown sugar 🟤 • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper 🌶️ • 1 tsp vanilla extract 🌿 • ⅛ tsp kosher salt 🧂 • Vegetable oil spray for the grill 🛢️
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the pineapple spears with brown sugar, cayenne pepper, vanilla extract, and kosher salt. Toss well to coat the pineapple evenly. 2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the pineapple marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature. Alternatively, refrigerate overnight. Reserve the marinade liquid. 3. Preheat a grill pan over high heat and lightly spray with vegetable oil just before grilling. 4. Grill the pineapple spears for 1-2 minutes per side, until grill marks appear. 5. While grilling, microwave the leftover marinade liquid for 90 seconds until it becomes thick and syrupy. 6. Once the pineapple is grilled, transfer it to a serving plate and drizzle the warm syrup over the top. Serve immediately!
