The Healthy Fourth of July Recipe


Grilled Pineapple with Honey Lime Glaze:


Ingredients:

  • 1 whole pineapple, peeled and cored

  • 1/4 cup honey

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

  • 1 teaspoon lime zest

  • Pinch of salt

  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. Slice the pineapple into rings or wedges, about 1/2 inch thick.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

  4. Brush the honey lime glaze generously over both sides of the pineapple slices.

  5. Place the pineapple slices directly on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, or until you see beautiful grill marks and the pineapple caramelizes slightly.

  6. Once done, transfer the grilled pineapple to a serving platter.

  7. Drizzle any remaining honey lime glaze over the pineapple slices.

  8. Garnish with fresh mint leaves to add a touch of freshness and visual appeal.

  9. Serve the grilled pineapple warm, and savor each bite knowing that it won't compromise your waistline.

Note: Adjust the sweetness of the glaze according to your preference by adding more or less honey. Enjoy the grilled pineapple as is or serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
