One of the most delicious effortless tropical treats is a cinnamon coated grilled pineapple. It instantly transforms any dull day into a fun one. Equally tantalising is a juicy piece of pineapple with a spicy rub set on a semi char by the grill. The total goodness of the tropical fruit made it even juicier. Except for cleaning up the pokey outer skin, I just love every bit if this fruit. I guess this is going to stay awhile with us as our go-to option for difficult days or one where the mood swings act up.
I do find this extremely useful when the kids have a bit of a cough coming along. The cinnamon and the pineapple really soothe the throat for them works brilliantly. Enjoy these effortless treats with your kids.
So, what are you waiting for? Fire up the grill, skewer the pineapple and come along…
Setting this up for a bbq
The simpler the idea, the better it is for summer. We certainly don’t want to slog over the stove but enjoy the company over the barbie. Here is another we love to add to the list – Grilled radicchio with citrus dressing. Whip up a quick Quickest sweetcorn and cheese dip, toast some bread and have some great company. This is certainly what summer with a barbeque calls for in reality. To get the conversations flowing, keep these cooling drinks coming – Fresh grapes jaljeera or Mango spritzer. Don’t forget to finish up with the perfect Mango Basil Sorbet.

Simple & most yummy….grilled pineapples are always a summer thing for us as that’s the time of the year we do a lot of grilling in our garden…haven’t added cinnamon though…will try this summer!!
I am slowly planning to set up a barbeque so getting my grilling skills up.
LOve them totally. Grilled Pineapple with cinnamon in my favourite combo of flavours
ohhhh so glad we both like similar flavours
Its always a big hit at my place. So flavorful 🙂
Perfect, glad to see many who share my taste
Simple and sweet snacks are perfect for the snack. I like grilled fruits and vegetables.
I am loving them too.
My family is crazy for grilled pineapple and I always end up grilling the pineapples rather than eating fresh. It looks amazing.
hahah I am sure mine will be the same case soon.
Oh this tropical fruit will taste heaven in all the preparation.. You sweet and spicy version of grilled pineapples are awe..
Thanks Sujitha, glad you like them.
Grilled pineapples – Absolutely addictive. My husband is slightly allergic to pineapples so I make this for him and eat the fresh ones myself. Our spicy and sweet rubs are almost similar only with the exception of cinnamon which we dont prefer. I use jaggery instead of sugar…Your post reminds me I should make a batch soon now… Super share!
the jaggery works perfectly too. I am glad I inspire you to make a batch.
I love using these different fruits in my recipes. This looks so delicious Seema.
I am glad we make similar choices with fruits.
My kids will love this! Will buy one just to grill and serve during the summer holidays!
Get a grill pan or a small charcoal grill. The basic one works will fine, trust me.
Just what I need with my dessert. I would prefer the spicy version ????
I will love to hear which you like better.
I love seared pineapple in everything from fried rice to salads. Including cinnamon sounds absolutely delicious. As you said, totally effortless!
Ooo you give me an idea to add this to salads now.
I love grilled Pineapple..it have a unique taste… healthy snack option
Perfect snack option, Lathiya, no doubt.
I love pineapples, I like them on pizza, I like eating them on a fruit cocktail, I also love ’em eating them raw. I haven’t tried them grilled so this sounds exciting to me. I think I can easily find the ingredients, I just need to find somewhere where I could grill them. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Don’t miss the juiciness that the grill brings out. It enhances the sweetness at this moment.
Fantastic recipe to enjoy juicy pineapple slices. Love the idea!!
I hope you have the bbq ready this summer.
Pineapple is a happy fruit at my place, grilled one with spicy snd sweet combination of flavors sounds lipsmacking. Would give it a try soon
Indeed, pineapples are the happy ones at our place too.
