Step-by-Step Instructions
1. **Prep the Pineapple**:
– If you’re using a whole pineapple, slice off the top and bottom, then cut away the skin. Slice it into 1-inch thick rounds and remove the core.
– If you’re using pre-cut slices, you’re already halfway there!
2. **Make the Chili Rub**:
– In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, brown sugar, and lime zest. This is where you can customize the spice level—add more chili powder if you like it hot!
3. **Coat the Pineapple**:
– Brush both sides of the pineapple slices with olive oil.
– Sprinkle the chili rub evenly over both sides of each slice.
4. **Grill to Perfection**:
– Heat your grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat.
– Place the pineapple slices on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until you see those beautiful grill marks and the sugar starts to caramelize.
5. **Serve and Enjoy**:
– Plate the grilled pineapple slices and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The contrast of warm, spicy pineapple and cool, creamy ice cream is pure magic.
