Ah, the sweetness of summer! As Chef Rajnish Saharan, I'm delighted to share with you a simple yet impressive recipe that's perfect for your next barbecue or family gathering. This grilled pineapple with spicy chili-paprika glaze is a symphony of flavors and textures that will leave your guests craving for more. The traditional version of this recipe often relies on refined sugars and lacks the depth of flavor that comes from freshly ground spices. In my optimized version, I've replaced refined sugars with natural cane sugar and emphasized the use of freshly ground spices for an unparalleled aroma. This wholesome vegan recipe is not only delicious but also packed with vitamins and antioxidants from the pineapple and chili peppers.

Main Ingredients

1 pineapple, peeled and halved into 6 ½-inch thick slices or rings
1 red chili pepper, seeded and chopped
5 tsp packed cane sugar or brown sugar
1 tsp paprika
2 tsp olive oil

Cooking Method

Preparation

Preheat your barbecue or grill pan to medium heat. Make sure it's clean and brush it with a little oil to prevent sticking.

Making the Spice Mix

In a mortar and pestle, combine the chopped red chili pepper, 5 tsp of the cane sugar or brown sugar, and 1 tsp of paprika. Grind everything together until you get a fine, well-mixed spice blend.

Marinating the Pineapple

Brush the spice and chili pepper mix over both sides of the pineapple slices, pressing the mix gently into the fruit to ensure it adheres evenly. Let the pineapple marinate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.

Grilling the Pineapple

Spray or brush the grill with a little vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Place the pineapple slices on the grill and cook until caramelized, about 2-3 minutes per side. You may see some nice grill marks – that's perfect!

Serving

Serve the grilled pineapple slices immediately, while they're still warm and caramelized. You can enjoy them as is or with a dollop of coconut cream or yogurt for extra creaminess.
