The top leaves should be green and fresh. A ripe pineapple also gives a little when you press on it. Freshness is key to flavor. A fresh pineapple tastes sweet and juicy. If it feels hard, it may be unripe. If it smells sour, it is overripe. Always choose a pineapple that is firm and fragrant. Adjusting sweetness levels can help fit your taste. If you want a sweeter glaze, add more honey or sugar. For a less sweet option, cut back on those ingredients. You can also swap honey with maple syrup for a unique flavor. Agave nectar is another good choice if you want a vegan option. Just remember that different sweeteners may change the taste. Roasted pineapple pairs well with many dishes. You can serve it as a dessert or with main courses like grilled chicken. It also works great in salads. For a fun twist, try using it in tacos or on pizza.

Ginger gives a warm spice, while vanilla adds a sweet, rich note. Both flavors mix well with the pineapple's natural sweetness. You can also use other spices. Nutmeg or allspice can bring unique flavors. A sprinkle of cardamom can add an exotic twist. Experiment with these spices to find your favorite mix. Grilling pineapple changes the flavor and texture. Grilling gives it a smoky taste that pairs well with the sweetness. If you prefer, you can roast it in the oven, which is easy and quick. Using a stovetop skillet is another option. Heat the skillet over medium heat and add the pineapple slices. Cook until caramelized on both sides. This method is just as tasty and adds a lovely char. If you want a vegan dish, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar. Both options keep it sweet and plant-based. They will still give you that sticky glaze. For low-sugar options, you can cut back on honey and brown sugar. Use a sugar substitute or reduce the amount of glaze. The pineapple's natural sweetness is strong enough to shine through. For the full recipe, check out the detailed instructions above! Store leftover roasted pineapple in an airtight container. This keeps it fresh for 3 to 5 days. Make sure the pineapple has cooled down before sealing. Keeping it covered helps avoid drying out. If you see any moisture in the container, use a paper towel to absorb it. This prevents sogginess and keeps the flavor strong. To freeze roasted pineapple, let it cool completely. Cut it into small pieces for easy use later.

When you’re ready to use them, just thaw in the fridge overnight. Reheat roasted pineapple in the oven for the best results. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and warm for about 10 minutes. If you want to avoid sogginess, do not cover it while reheating. You can also use a skillet on low heat for quick warming. Just be careful not to overheat it, as it can lose its nice texture. To cut a pineapple, start by slicing off the top and bottom. This helps the fruit stand firm. Next, stand it upright. Use a sharp knife to cut down the sides. Remove the tough, spiky skin. Make sure to cut deep enough to get rid of the eyes. Once peeled, slice the fruit lengthwise into quarters, then remove the core. Finally, cut the quarters into thick slices or wedges. This method keeps your hands safe and gives you nice pieces. Yes, you can use canned pineapple. However, it will taste different. Canned pineapple often has added sugar and a softer texture. When you roast it, it may not caramelize like fresh pineapple. Fresh pineapple gives a bright, juicy flavor that shines when roasted. If you choose canned, look for ones packed in juice, not syrup, for a better taste. The roasted pineapple is done when it shows signs of caramelization. Look for a golden-brown color. The edges may even char slightly. The pineapple should feel tender when you poke it with a fork. If it has a sweet smell wafting through your kitchen, it’s likely just right!
