We were recently at a BBQ and they were grilling pineapple. I was like hold up! Whaaaaat?!?! I knew immediately that I needed more of this pineapple in my life!
This cinnamon sugar pineapple is so delicious you won’t want to stop eating it! It is an amazing summertime treat. Whether you grill it up as a side or as a dessert it is sure to be a hit!

GLUTEN-FREE & VEGETARIAN
This recipe is gluten-free and vegetarian! Weeeeee!! I use grass-fed butter, brown sugar and cinnamon for the glaze. We couldn’t resist eating a couple bites right after it came off the grill and it tasted like warm apple pie! When I ate it cold it was delicious, refreshing and felt like I was indulging!
