Roasted Pineapple

"Roasted Pineapple is a tasty way to kick refreshing pineapple up a notch. Before the fruit is cooked, it’s well coated in a simple glaze that pairs great with the natural sweetness of the fruit. Perfect for a side of pork for dinner or for an extra special breakfast treat. I love to use fresh pineapple. These are two of my favorites: my pineapple lemonade recipe and my Pineapple Popsicle recipe. I love this pineapple dish because has an incredible richness from the caramel. It’s a great recipe to add to an easy and unique side recipe stash. Roasting brings out the natural sugars in pineapple, caramelizing the edges and deepening its tropical flavor. It becomes richer, sweeter, and slightly smoky – a completely different experience than fresh pineapple. The heat softens the sometimes tough core and edges, creating a beautifully tender and juicy interior with slightly caramelized, chewy edges. Roasted pineapple is incredibly versatile. It can be enjoyed on its own as a dessert, used as a topping for ice cream or yogurt, incorporated into savory dishes, added to salads, or even grilled further. Simple Yet Impressive: The process is incredibly straightforward, requiring minimal ingredients and effort, yet the results are often perceived as gourmet or special. It’s a naturally inclusive dessert or side, fitting many dietary needs. It instantly elevates any dish or meal with its vibrant flavor and aroma, bringing a taste of the tropics to your kitchen."
