Grilled Pineapple is coated in honey and lemon and grilled to perfection. It makes the perfect accompaniment to any meal.
A few other “unusual” things we like to cook on the grill are this Grilled Caesar Salad which is delish. We also grill this Pound Cake and top it with fresh fruit. And another favorite at our house are these Grilled Artichokes.
Grilled Pineapple
We try to grill as much as possible in the summer. We love to grill meats and vegetables and our newest favorite thing to throw on the grill is pineapple. You can use fresh pineapple or canned pineapple. Of course, fresh pineapple is better. You can buy it at Costco or at the grocery store in the produce department already trimmed, cored and peeled. If you are using canned pineapple buy the pineapple rings.
How to Grill Pineapple
- Place your pineapple on a baking sheet. Mix together your honey and fresh lemon juice.
- Brush both sides of your pineapple with the mixture.
- Rub the grill of your BBQ grill with oil or line it with foil. If you want grill marks on your pineapple, don’t use the foil.
- Place the pineapple on the grill at medium heat.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side.
- Baste the pineapple with additional honey/lemon a couple of times during the cooking process
Remove from the grill and place on serving platter. The honey will caramelize on the grill and create a delicious, warm sweet treat. Drizzle with a little more honey and serve.
How to Serve Grilled Pineapple
Grilled Pineapple works great as a side dish to any grilled meat and also is delicious on top of a burger. We also love to serve it as dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
If you need a quick and easy summer side dish or dessert give it a try.

I bet a grill pan would work great or even try putting it under the broiler in the oven. Enjoy!

Oh goodness, I love pineapple. We live in a condo now and aren’t allowed to have a real grill. I’m thinking that a grill pan on the stove might work. Thanks!
Have a great day!
