The grill caramelizes the pineapple to make it super sweet and deeply flavorful. The citrus sauce balances it out with a jolt of tanginess.

It's a bright and zingy dessert recipe that's light enough for a warm summer night or after a larger meal.

How to Make This Grilled Pineapple Recipe

Heat grill (or grill pan) to high heat. Place pineapple on the grill and cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until dark grill marks appear. After both sides have been grilled, remove and let rest for 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, blitz the mint, lime juice and rind, and sugar in a food processor or blender - add a little water if the mixture doesn't come together. It should be a chunky sauce though, so don't add too much water.
Top the pineapple with the mint sauce and serve.
