Serves 4

Ingredients

Fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup, for garnish
Honey
2 tablespoons
Lime juice
2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
Tandoori spice blend
2 tablespoons
Pineapple
1, peeled, cored, and sliced into rings or wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the tandoori spice blend, lime juice, and honey until well combined to create a flavorful marinade.
  3. Slice the pineapple into rings or wedges, depending on your preference; ensure the slices are thick enough to hold up on the grill.
  4. Generously brush both sides of the pineapple slices with the tandoori marinade, ensuring they are well coated.
  5. Place the marinated pineapple slices on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is slightly caramelized.
  6. Remove the grilled pineapple from the grill and let cool for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing contrast and serve warm as a delightful dessert.

Tips

  • 💡 For an added flavor twist, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade for a hint of heat.
  • 💡 You can also serve the grilled pineapple with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or yogurt for an indulgent treat.
  • 💡 Experiment with other fruits such as peaches or mangoes, which can also be delicious when grilled with the tandoori marinade.
