Looking for a simple but impressive grilled fruit recipe? This grilled pineapple with pink peppercorns is bright, fragrant, and ready in minutes. Perfect as a summer side dish, a colorful topping for rice bowls, or a light tropical dessert! And yes, even underripe pineapple works beautifully!

This is a recipe from my new cookbook Fiesta Lenta, coming this June.

Pre-order coming soon!

This grilled pineapple is all about contrasts: warm and sweet, fresh and spicy, simple and unexpected. You only need a few ingredients, but the flavor is pure sunshine.


Pink peppercorns aren’t hot like black pepper. They’re floral, slightly sweet and warming. 

Ingredients:


  • 1 pineapple

  • ½ tsp pink peppercorns

  • a touch of lime salt or honey for serving (optional)


How to Make the Perfect Grilled Pineapple with Pink Pepper:


 1. Peel the pineapple, remove the eyes, and slice into half-moons.

 2. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill.

 3. Grill the pineapple on both sides until caramelized grill marks appear.

Even an underripe pineapple works beautifully in this recipe. Grilling brings out its natural sweetness, and a pinch of pink pepper turns it into a fragrant little masterpiece.

 4. Lightly crush the pink peppercorns in a mortar.

 5. Arrange the pineapple on a plate and sprinkle with the crushed pepper. If you like, finish with a pinch of lime salt or a drizzle of honey.

  • As a surprising twist on a bowl of rice

  • For dessert with a scoop of creamy ice cream and a splash of rum
