Grilled pineapple can be a healthy treat in moderation. Pineapple itself is rich in Vitamin C, manganese, and the digestive enzyme bromelain. However, this recipe includes butter and brown sugar, which add calories and sugar. To make it healthier, you can reduce the amount of sugar and butter in the glaze.

Absolutely! You can achieve a similar result using a cast-iron grill pan on your stovetop over medium-high heat. Alternatively, you can use the broiler in your oven. Place the glazed slices on a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes per side, watching closely to prevent burning.
Store any leftover grilled pineapple in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can enjoy it cold, or reheat it gently in a pan on the stovetop, in the microwave, or for a few minutes in an air fryer.
Grilled pineapple is very versatile. For a dessert, serve it with vanilla or coconut ice cream, Greek yogurt, or a dollop of whipped cream. As a side dish, it pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken, pork chops, shrimp skewers, or in a burger.
Yes, you can use canned pineapple rings in a pinch. Be sure to drain them very well and pat them dry with a paper towel before glazing and grilling. Canned pineapple is often softer, so it will cook faster and be more delicate on the grill.
