Ingredients
- 1 Pineapple
- 2 tbsp butter melted
- 5 tbsp Brown sugar heaping spoonful's
- ½ tsp Kosher salt
Instructions
- Set your pellet grill or smoker to 375°F.
- Slice off the bottom of the pineapple, leaving a flat surface.
- While leaving the crown on the pineapple, slice off the shell using a sharp knife and slice from the crown down to the bottom, removing any part of the shell.
- Mix 2 tablespoons of melted butter in a small bowl with about 5 heaping tablespoons of brown sugar. Mix well until combined into a thick paste. Add more brown sugar if needed.
- Using your fingers, spread the brown sugar paste over the pineapple's yellow flesh, making sure to coat the entire surface on all sides.
- Place the pineapple in the center of the lowest rack and close the lid.
- Turn or rotate the pineapple slightly every 5 minutes, so a new sliced surface is exposed to the grill grates.
- Continue rotating the pineapple until all the sides are cooked to your preference. This should take approximately 30 minutes.
- Once the pineapple has dark grill marks on all sides and is cooked to your liking, remove it.
- Immediately slice in the same direction you followed when removing the shell. Slice around the entire pineapple once or twice until you've removed all the fruit down to the core.
- Sprinkle the slices with a coarse sea salt or kosher salt.
- Serve warm!
