Ingredients

• 1 whole (medium-sized, ripe) Pineapple
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon Lime zest

Directions

Step 1

1. Cut the top, bottom, and outer skin off the pineapple. Remove any remaining brown 'eyes' with a paring knife.

2. Slice the pineapple into quarters lengthwise, then cut out the tough core from each quarter. Cut each quarter into 1-inch thick wedges.

Step 3

3. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and salt to make the chili-lime glaze.

Step 4

4. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the pineapple wedges with olive oil on all sides.

Step 5

5. Place the pineapple wedges on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is slightly caramelized.

Step 6

6. Remove the grilled pineapple from the heat and immediately brush each wedge with the chili-lime glaze while they are still hot.

Step 7

7. Transfer the pineapple to a serving platter. Sprinkle the chopped fresh cilantro and lime zest over the top for garnish.

Step 8

8. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy as a snack, appetizer, or unique side dish!
