Grilled Pineapple Rings
Grilled Pineapple Rings + Cilantro-lime sauce an easy, low calorie dessert that won’t blow your diet or weight loss, great with grilled chicken or baked ham
INGREDIENTS – please use organic ingredients
- Fresh Sliced Pineapple rings, cored or whole
- Optional – fresh Cherries, pitted for OR Coconut Whipped Cream and fresh Mint Leaves, as garnish
DIRECTIONS - prepare pineapple. And slice into thick slices. You can remove the core if you are adding pitted cherries to the center of each slice. Or leave it whole for easier grilling. If you don’t know how to core a pineapple, watch the video below. I like to use this handy tool –> Stainless Steel Easy Pineapple Corer Slicer & but not for this recipe because it makes the slices too thin. Heat grill. Add pineapple slices to hot grill. Grill a few minutes on each side. Until slightly browned. This caramelizes the natural sugar in the pineapple, making it nice and sweet. Remove from grill. Cool and top with Coconut whipped cream. Garnish with mint leaves. Or add a pitted cherry to the center of each cored, grilled pineapple ring before serving. Serve with Cilantro-lime Sauce on the side.
NOTE: Great with grilled watermelon triangles

Have you tried baby gourmet pineapples? They are about half the size of a regular pineapple.
