Ingredients
Scale
1 whole fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch thick rings or spears
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon lime zest
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, lime zest, melted butter, and salt to create the glaze.
Place the pineapple pieces on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Brush half of the honey-lime glaze evenly over the pineapple pieces.
Roast for 15 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven, flip the pineapple pieces, and brush with the remaining glaze.
Return to the oven and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are slightly caramelized and tender.
Serve warm.
Notes
For extra flavor, sprinkle a small amount of chili powder or finely grated fresh ginger over the pineapple before the second roasting period.
If you prefer a more charred exterior, you can briefly place the roasted pineapple under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Use ripe pineapple for the best natural sweetness.
