Ingredients
- 1 whole Pineapple
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the pineapple by cutting off the top, bottom, and outer skin. Slice the pineapple into 1/2-inch-thick rounds and remove the core from each slice.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and honey. Brush each side of the pineapple slices with this mixture.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using an outdoor grill, make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Place the pineapple slices on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple caramelizes.
Step 5
While the pineapple is grilling, finely chop the basil and mint leaves. Combine them in a small bowl.
Step 6
Once the pineapple slices are done, remove them from the grill and place them on a serving plate.
Step 7
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the grilled pineapple and sprinkle with a pinch of salt for balance.
Step 8
Garnish the pineapple slices with the chopped basil and mint. Serve warm or at room temperature.
