Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the pineapple by removing the top, bottom, and peel. Slice the pineapple into 1-inch thick rings and remove the core from each ring.
Brush each pineapple ring lightly with olive oil and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the rings to enhance their natural sweetness.
Roast the pineapple in the oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges caramelize and the pineapple becomes golden brown.
While the pineapple is roasting, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, simmer the balsamic vinegar over medium-low heat until it reduces by half and thickens (approximately 8-10 minutes). Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Once the pineapple is roasted, transfer the slices to serving plates. Drizzle each slice generously with the balsamic glaze.
Crumble fresh goat cheese over the warm pineapple slices and drizzle with honey for added sweetness.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately. Enjoy!
