Charred Pineapple Rings Recipes

BROILED PINEAPPLE RINGS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Lay drained pineapple rings in a single layer on a 9x13"-inch pan with sides - allow edges of pineapple rings to touch.
• Place a cherry in the center of each pineapple ring. Sprinkle each pineapple ring with 1 teaspoon brown sugar, then drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon margarine. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
• Place 5"-inches from broiler and broil (with oven door cracked) for 5 minutes or until topping is bubbly.

MAPLE-GRILLED PINEAPPLE RINGS WITH FROZEN YOGURT AND GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat a stove-top grill pan to medium-high and coat with cooking spray.
• Place pineapple rings on hot grill and drizzle with maple syrup. Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer grilled pineapple to individual dessert bowls (2 rings per bowl) and top each serving with 1/2 cup frozen yogurt and 2 tablespoons granola.

CHARRED PINEAPPLE GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Heat a well-oiled grill or grill pan to high heat. Combine the chili lime seasoning and chili powder in a small bowl. Coat pineapple rings evenly in this mixture. Grill on both sides until grill-marked and charred, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Let cool, then dice.
• Scoop flesh of 2 avocados into a bowl, then mash. Dice the remaining avocado. Add it to the bowl, then stir in the lime juice, minced cilantro, chile, half of the charred pineapple and salt and pepper to taste. Top with the remaining charred pineapple, a sprinkling of chili lime seasoning and a couple of cilantro leaves. Serve with chips alongside.
