# Instructions:

Trim the top and bottom from the pineapple and remove the outer rind using a sharp knife. Slice the pineapple into 2 cm thick spears or rings. For rings, use a small cutter to remove the core.

Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high (190–200°C). Ensure grill grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.

Transfer grilled pineapple to a platter and serve immediately while warm.
