12 Fresh Pineapple Recipes, from Salsa to Sheet-Pan Meals

Pineapple is my secret weapon for adding instant brightness to any dish. Whether you’re craving zesty salsa or an easy sheet-pan dinner, this tropical fruit delivers. Ready to transform your weeknight meals? These 12 fresh pineapple recipes are here to inspire!

Fresh Pineapple Salsa

You know that moment when you need a quick, tropical-flavored appetizer that wows without heating up the kitchen? This fresh pineapple salsa is my go-to—it’s sweet, spicy, and comes together in minutes.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 cup ripe pineapple, finely diced into 1/4-inch cubes
• 2 medium vine-ripened Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
• 1/4 cup red onion, finely minced
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
• 1 small jalapeño pepper, seeds and ribs removed, minced
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• Optional: pinch of granulated sugar (if pineapple is not sweet enough)

Instructions

1. In a medium glass bowl (glass prevents any metallic taste from acidity), combine the diced pineapple, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and minced jalapeño.
2. Drizzle the lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle with sea salt. Toss gently with a rubber spatula until evenly combined.
3. Taste a small spoonful—if the pineapple lacks sweetness, add a pinch of sugar and stir again. For the best flavor, allow the salsa to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes so the flavors meld.
4. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours; stir once before serving to redistribute the juices.

Kick off your next taco night or summer barbecue with this vibrant salsa—its bright, juicy texture pairs perfectly with crispy chips or grilled fish. I love spooning it over black bean tacos for an extra pop of freshness.

Grilled Pineapple with Honey-Lime Glaze

Between the sizzle of the grill and the sweet tropical scent, this grilled pineapple recipe has become my go-to for summer cookouts. I love how the honey-lime glaze caramelizes into shiny, sticky edges that taste like pure sunshine.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 8 minutes

Ingredients

For the Grilled Pineapple

• 1 medium fresh pineapple
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (400-450°F) and clean the grates thoroughly to prevent sticking.
2. Peel and core the pineapple, then slice it crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rings. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lime juice, melted unsalted butter, and kosher salt until smooth.
4. Brush the glaze generously onto both sides of each pineapple ring, reserving about 2 tablespoons for later.
5. Grill the pineapple rings over direct heat for 3-4 minutes per side, until deep grill marks appear and the glaze bubbles and caramelizes. Resist the urge to flip too early—let the sugars sear.
6. Transfer the grilled pineapple to a platter and brush with the reserved glaze. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

Usually, I pile these golden rings alongside smoky grilled pork chops or chop them into chunks to toss over vanilla ice cream for an effortless dessert. The caramelized edges with a hint of lime make every bite a perfect balance of sweet and tangy.

Pineapple Fried Rice

You know that feeling when you order takeout and think, 'I could totally make this at home'? Well, this Thai-style pineapple fried rice is my go-to for that crave-worthy sweet-and-savory balance, and it comes together faster than delivery.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

For the Fried Rice

• 3 cups cold day-old jasmine rice
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup fresh pineapple, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
• 1/2 cup roasted unsalted cashews
• 2 pasture-raised eggs, lightly beaten
• 3 green onions, sliced, white and green parts separated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce (Red Boat preferred)
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon coconut sugar or brown sugar
• 8 ounces fresh jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

1. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, then season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Heat 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in a large wok or nonstick skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook without stirring for 1 minute. Flip and cook until just pink and opaque, about 30 seconds more. Transfer to a plate.
3. Reduce heat to medium-high and add another teaspoon of oil. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until just set but still soft, about 20 seconds. Transfer to the plate with shrimp.
4. Add the remaining oil to the wok. Stir in the white parts of the green onions and garlic, cooking for 15 seconds until fragrant. (Tip: Keep the garlic moving to avoid burning.)
5. Add the cold rice, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Spread it into an even layer and let it sear undisturbed for 30 seconds to develop a slight char.
6. Stir in the red curry paste, coating every grain of rice. (Tip: Fry the paste in the hot oil first for deeper flavor.)
7. Drizzle the fish sauce, soy sauce, and coconut sugar around the edges of the wok. Toss to combine. (Tip: Use the edge of the wok to caramelize the sauces.)
8. Add the pineapple and cashews, tossing for 1 minute until the pineapple is lightly warmed.
9. Return the shrimp and scrambled eggs to the wok. Add the green onion tops and toss everything together for 30 seconds.
10. Remove from heat and serve immediately with lime wedges. (The acidity brightens the entire dish.)

Nothing beats the contrast of sweet pineapple, savory shrimp, and crunchy cashews in this quick stir-fry. For extra heat, drizzle with sriracha or sprinkle with red pepper flakes before serving—it's fantastic cold the next day, too.

Sheet-Pan Pineapple Chicken

There's nothing quite like a sheet-pan dinner on a busy weeknight, and this pineapple chicken is my current obsession. The combination of sweet pineapple and savory soy sauce on crispy chicken thighs is pure magic, plus tossing everything on one pan means minimal cleanup — a win-win in my book.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

Chicken and Marinade

• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 lbs)
• 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Vegetables

• 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (1-inch pieces)
• 2 bell peppers (mixed colors), cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1/2 red onion, cut into wedges
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and position the rack in the middle. This ensures even heat distribution for perfect roasting.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until the honey dissolves. Set this marinade aside.
3. Pat the chicken thighs thoroughly dry with paper towels — this is key for crispy skin. Season both sides evenly with the kosher salt and black pepper.
4. On a large rimmed sheet pan (the rim prevents juices from spilling), combine the pineapple chunks, bell peppers, and red onion wedges. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat everything in a light, even layer.
5. Nestle the seasoned chicken thighs among the vegetables, arranging them skin side up so the skin gets direct heat and turns golden and crackly.
6. Pour the reserved marinade evenly over both the chicken and the vegetables, ensuring each piece gets some. For extra caramelization, I like to brush a little extra honey on the chicken skin — it's a game-changer.
7. Roast for 25–30 minutes, until the chicken registers an internal temperature of 175°F and the skin is deep golden and crispy, and the vegetables are tender with caramelized edges. If the skin needs more crunch, broil for 2–3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
8. Remove the pan from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute. Garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Not only does the pineapple caramelize into sweet-tart perfection, but its natural acidity also tenderizes the chicken, leaving it incredibly juicy. Serving this over steamed jasmine rice with a sprinkle of cilantro makes for a dinner that feels both effortless and special.

Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

Every time I make this Pineapple Upside-Down Cake, I’m transported back to my grandmother’s kitchen. The caramelized pineapple rings and maraschino cherries nestled in a buttery brown sugar glaze are pure nostalgia. It’s the kind of dessert that feels both special and comforting, perfect for a family gathering or a quiet weekend treat.

Serving: 8 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 can (20 oz) pineapple rings in juice, drained (reserve 1/4 cup juice)
• 10-12 maraschino cherries, stems removed
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup whole milk, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 3 large pasture-raised eggs, lightly beaten

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat and melt the unsalted butter, swirling to coat the bottom and sides evenly. Remove from heat. (Tip: Using a cast-iron skillet ensures even heat distribution and a perfect caramelized topping.)
2. Sprinkle the light brown sugar evenly over the melted butter in the skillet. Arrange the drained pineapple rings in a single layer over the sugar, placing one in the center and the others around it. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each ring and in the gaps. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. (Tip: Whisking aerates the flour and ensures no lumps.)
4. In a separate bowl, combine the whole milk, reserved pineapple juice, vanilla extract, and lightly beaten eggs. Whisk until smooth.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until just combined—do not overmix. A few small lumps are fine; overmixing can make the cake tough.
6. Carefully pour the batter over the pineapple and cherry arrangement in the skillet, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (Tip: Rotate the skillet halfway through baking for even browning.)
8. Let the cake cool in the skillet on a wire rack for exactly 5 minutes. Then run a knife around the edge to loosen, place a serving plate upside down over the skillet, and carefully invert the cake. Leave the skillet in place for 1 minute to let the caramel drip, then lift off. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Undoubtedly, the best part is flipping the cake onto a plate and seeing that perfect caramelized top. Serve it slightly warm with a dollop of whipped cream — the contrast of warm cake and cool cream is irresistible.

Pineapple Coconut Smoothie

Diving into the world of tropical flavors, I've perfected this creamy pineapple coconut smoothie that's become my go-to morning indulgence. With a velvety blend of yogurt and banana, it's like a mini vacation in a glass!

Serving: 2 | Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 ripe banana, peeled and broken into chunks
• 1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks
• 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk (canned, shaken well)
• 2 tablespoons toasted unsweetened coconut flakes (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Add the banana chunks, pineapple chunks, Greek yogurt, and coconut milk to a high-speed blender.
2. Blend on high for 45 seconds until completely smooth and creamy. For a thicker texture, use frozen pineapple and banana; if too thick, add a splash of water 1 tablespoon at a time.
3. Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if desired – the banana and pineapple usually provide enough natural sweetness.
4. Divide the smoothie between two chilled glasses. Garnish each with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes just before serving for an extra tropical crunch.

With its luscious, tropical sweetness and a satisfying creaminess, this smoothie is a fabulous way to start your day. Pour it into a chilled glass and top with toasted coconut for an extra crunch.

Spicy Pineapple Margarita

Love a cocktail that balances sweet, sour, and heat? This spicy pineapple margarita is my go-to for summer gatherings, with a jalapeño kick that'll wake up your taste buds.

Serving: 2 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

For the Jalapeño Simple Syrup

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (seeds in for more heat, removed for milder)

For the Cocktail

• 4 ounces reposado tequila
• 3 ounces fresh pineapple juice
• 2 ounces fresh lime juice
• 1 ounce jalapeño simple syrup
• Ice cubes
• Coarse salt (for rim, optional)
• Pineapple wedge and jalapeño slice (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Stir until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes.
2. Add sliced jalapeño, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 3 minutes to infuse. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain into a jar and cool completely. (Tip: Make this syrup ahead to let flavors meld; it keeps in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.)
3. If salting the rim, run a lime wedge around the edge of two glasses, then dip into coarse salt.
4. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add tequila, pineapple juice, lime juice, and 1 ounce of the prepared jalapeño simple syrup.
5. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds until well chilled. (Tip: Shake longer if you want more dilution and a smoother sip; less for a stronger punch.)
6. Strain into the prepared glasses over fresh ice. Garnish each with a pineapple wedge and a slice of jalapeño. (Tip: For extra heat, drop a few jalapeño seeds into the shaker before shaking.)

Sip and enjoy the fiery kick of jalapeño balanced by sweet pineapple and tangy lime—every sip is a refreshing surprise. Serve with salty chips and guacamole for the ultimate summer pairing.

Pineapple Teriyaki Meatballs

Bursting with sweet and savory flavors, these Pineapple Teriyaki Meatballs are my go-to party appetizer. I always double the batch because they disappear in minutes! The glossy soy glaze with pineapple chunks is absolutely addictive.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground pork (or ground chicken)
• 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
• 1/2 cup pineapple juice
• 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (slurry)
• 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
• Sesame seeds and additional green onions for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine ground pork, panko, beaten egg, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, and chopped green onions. Mix gently until just combined. Tip: Avoid overmixing for juicier meatballs.
3. Roll mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place on prepared baking sheet. Using a small cookie scoop ensures uniform size and even cooking.
4. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 160°F. Tip: An instant-read thermometer guarantees doneness.
5. While meatballs bake, prepare glaze: In a small saucepan, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
6. Whisk in cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Tip: Whisk continuously to prevent lumps.
7. Stir in pineapple chunks and remove from heat.
8. Once meatballs are done, transfer to a serving dish and pour glaze over them. Toss to coat evenly.
9. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

Revel in the sticky-sweet glaze that caramelizes beautifully around each meatball. Serve them as a crowd-pleasing appetizer with toothpicks or over steamed rice for a quick weeknight dinner.

Pineapple Ham Glaze

Pineapple and brown sugar come together in this sticky-sweet glaze that transforms a simple baked ham into a showstopper. I never skipped the step of letting the glaze cool slightly—it really makes a difference in how it clings to the meat.

Serving: 8 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

For the Glaze

• 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine the drained crushed pineapple, packed brown sugar, unsalted butter, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cloves, and ground cinnamon.
2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the butter has completely melted and the sugar has dissolved, about 2-3 minutes. (Tip: Stirring prevents the sugar from scorching on the bottom of the pan.)
3. Once the mixture is smooth and bubbling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The glaze will reduce slightly and become syrupy. (Tip: For a deeper flavor, allow the glaze to cool completely, then refrigerate overnight before using.)
4. Remove the pan from the heat and let the glaze rest for 5 minutes—it will continue to thicken as it cools. (Tip: If the glaze becomes too thick, whisk in 1 tablespoon of reserved pineapple juice to loosen it.)
5. Use the glaze immediately by brushing it over a partially baked ham during the last 30 minutes of roasting, reapplying every 10 minutes for a glossy, caramelized finish.

Cranberry relish is a wonderful companion to this glazed ham, but it's also fantastic slathered on leftover ham sandwiches. The sweet-tart pineapple and warm spices create a coating that's both glossy and satisfyingly sticky—pure holiday magic.

Pineapple and Black Bean Tacos

Nothing says summer like the sweet, caramelized pineapple paired with smoky black beans and creamy avocado. These vegetarian tacos are a staple in my kitchen whenever I need a quick, vibrant meal—perfect for taco Tuesday or a backyard gathering.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 fresh ripe pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into ½-inch cubes (about 2 cups)
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin, divided
• 1 teaspoon chili powder, divided
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
• 1 small red onion, half thinly sliced, half finely diced (about ½ cup each)
• 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
• ¼ cup water
• 8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
• 1 large ripe avocado, halved, pitted, and diced
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
• 1 lime, juiced
• ¼ cup crumbled cotija cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F with a rack in the center.
2. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the pineapple cubes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Spread in a single layer.
3. Roast the pineapple for 15–20 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and caramelized at the edges. For extra char, switch to broil for the final 2 minutes, watching closely. ▸ Tip: Use a metal spatula to flip the cubes without breaking them.
4. While the pineapple roasts, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes until softened and translucent.
5. Stir in the rinsed black beans, remaining ½ teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Add ¼ cup water and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, mashing about a quarter of the beans with the back of a spoon for creaminess. ▸ Tip: For deeper flavor, toast whole cumin seeds in a dry pan before grinding.
6. Warm the corn tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds per side, or directly over a gas flame until lightly charred. Stack and cover with a clean towel to keep warm.
7. To assemble, place 2 tortillas per serving. Divide the black bean mixture among them, then top with roasted pineapple, diced avocado, sliced red onion, fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, and crumbled cotija cheese. ▸ Tip: Use ripe but firm avocado so it holds its shape when diced.

Served with a side of pickled jalapeños and an ice-cold horchata, these tacos are a fiesta in every bite. The interplay of smoky, sweet, and creamy textures makes each mouthful utterly satisfying—perfect for a relaxed dinner with friends.

Pineapple Sorbet

Zesty and refreshing, this no-churn pineapple sorbet is my go-to summer treat. I love how the simple syrup brings out the fruit's natural sweetness without any heavy cream.

Serving: 6 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup water
• 4 cups fresh pineapple chunks (about 1 medium pineapple)
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 tablespoon light corn syrup (optional)

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves completely. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes to create a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
2. While syrup cools, peel and core fresh pineapple, then cut into chunks. Measure 4 cups.
3. In a blender or food processor, puree the pineapple chunks until smooth. (Tip: For a smoother sorbet, strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove fibrous bits.)
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the cooled simple syrup, pineapple puree, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1 tablespoon corn syrup (if using). (Tip: Corn syrup helps prevent ice crystals but is optional.)
5. Pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container (like a 9×13 dish). Cover and freeze for about 4 hours, until firm but not rock hard.
6. Every hour during freezing, stir the mixture with a fork to break up ice crystals. (Tip: This 'no-churn' method ensures a smoother texture without an ice cream maker.)
7. Once fully frozen, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.

Smooth and tangy, this sorbet captures summer in every spoonful. Serve it in a chilled glass with a splash of sparkling water for a refreshing float, or alongside fresh berries for a simple dessert.

Roasted Pineapple with Cinnamon

Back when I first tried roasted pineapple at a backyard BBQ, I knew I had to recreate that caramelized magic at home. This simple recipe transforms fresh pineapple into a warm, spiced treat that's perfect for chilly evenings.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 large ripe pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch chunks
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, packed light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and sea salt until smooth.
3. Add the pineapple chunks to the bowl and toss gently with a rubber spatula until each piece is evenly coated with the butter mixture. Tip: Make sure your pineapple is ripe but still firm to avoid mushiness.
4. Arrange the coated pineapple chunks in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don't overlap, which would cause steaming instead of roasting.
5. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping each piece halfway through with a fork, until the edges are golden and caramelized and the pineapple is tender. Tip: For extra caramelization, switch to broil for the last 2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool on the pan for 5 minutes; the juices will thicken slightly into a syrupy glaze. Tip: The residual heat continues to cook the pineapple, so don't skip the resting time.

Perfectly tender with a sticky, cinnamon-spiced glaze, this roasted pineapple pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It's a simple yet sophisticated dessert that never fails to impress.
