Chef's Tips

For a deeper smoky flavor, use a charcoal grill.

Don't overcook the pineapple, or it will become mushy.

If you don't have a grill, you can use a grill pan on the stovetop or broil the pineapple in the oven. Adjust cooking time accordingly.

Serve with a scoop of coconut ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
