Roasted Pineapple
Recipe information
Yield
serves 4 to 6
Ingredients
1 medium pineapple (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 sprig rosemary (optional)
Preparation
Step 1
Prepare oven and fruit Heat oven to 450°F. Cut top and bottom ends off pineapple, then stand it on end and cut off skin (following the curve of the fruit). Remove “eyes” with the tip of the knife. Cut pineapple in half lengthwise; cut lengthwise into 1-inch-wide spears. Cut out core and discard.
Step 2
Roast Stir together sugar and salt and sprinkle evenly over both sides of pineapple pieces. Arrange pineapple in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Dot evenly with butter; add rosemary. Roast, turning over twice during cooking and brushing with pan juices, until fruit is soft and browned in spots, about 45 minutes. Serve fruit warm or at room temperature.
