Description
Sweet, juicy pineapple slices caramelised over heat and served with coconut, fresh lime, and optional creamy yoghurt. A quick, healthy tropical treat that works as a dessert, snack, or side.
Ingredients
1 pineapple (or 1 tin of pineapple slices in juice)
1 lime, cut into wedges
4 teaspoons desiccated coconut
4 tablespoons zero-fat Greek-style yoghurt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pineapple: Cut off the top and bottom, remove the peel, and slice into 4 thick rings. Remove the core. If using tinned pineapple, drain well.
- Cook the Pineapple: Barbecue for 2–3 minutes on each side until lightly charred. Alternatively, use a hot griddle pan or oven grill.
- Serve: Place slices on plates, sprinkle with coconut, and serve with lime wedges and a spoonful of yoghurt if desired.
Notes
- Swap pineapple for mango, peaches, strawberries, or bananas.
- Add a drizzle of honey for more sweetness.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon before grilling for a spiced version.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream instead of yoghurt for dessert.
