- 1 whole Lime
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

Directions
Step 1
Prepare the pineapple by slicing off the top and bottom. Stand the pineapple upright and carefully slice off the skin with a sharp knife, making sure to remove all the eyes. Cut the pineapple into thick slices, approximately 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick, and remove the core from each slice.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, juice of one lime, olive oil, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Step 3
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush one side of each pineapple slice with the honey-lime glaze using a pastry brush.
Step 4
Place the pineapple slices glaze side down on the preheated grill. Brush the other side with the glaze.
Step 5
Grill each side for about 4-5 minutes or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is slightly tender.
Step 6
Remove the pineapple from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 7
Chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle over the grilled pineapple slices before serving for added flavor.
Step 8
Serve the grilled pineapple warm or at room temperature for a delightful, heart-healthy dessert.
