GRILLED PINEAPPLE SKEWERS RECIPE
5/5
Grilled Pineapple Skewers are a delicious and refreshing dessert option that perfectly combines the sweetness of pineapple with a hint of tanginess from lime juice. Pineapple is a great source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it a healthy choice for weight loss. The grilling process caramelizes the pineapple, enhancing its natural flavors and creating a delightful smoky taste. These grilled pineapple skewers can be enjoyed on their own or paired with a scoop of low-fat yogurt or a sprinkle of chopped mint leaves for added freshness.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 ripe pineapple, peeled and cored
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Juice of 1 lime
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Cut the pineapple into bite-sized chunks or slices.
- In a small bowl, mix together the honey or maple syrup (if using), ground cinnamon, and lime juice.
- Thread the pineapple pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers.
- Brush the pineapple skewers with the honey-cinnamon mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 3-5 minutes per side, or until the pineapple is lightly charred and caramelized.
- Remove the grilled pineapple skewers from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving.
TIPS
- Choose a ripe pineapple that is fragrant and has a golden color.
- If you prefer a sweeter flavor, you can brush the pineapple skewers with honey or maple syrup before grilling.
- Soaking the wooden skewers in water before grilling helps prevent them from burning.
- You can sprinkle some additional cinnamon powder on the grilled pineapple skewers for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve the grilled pineapple skewers warm or at room temperature for the best taste.
- Enjoy the grilled pineapple skewers as a guilt-free dessert option or as a refreshing addition to fruit salads or yogurt parfaits.
