ROASTED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or parchment paper.
• Slice pineapple crosswise into 1/4-inch slices, and place in a single layer on the baking sheet. Squeeze lime juice over pineapple slices. Combine the sugar, salt, and chili powder in a shallow dish. Coat each pineapple slice on both sides with sugar mixture and return to the baking sheet. Transfer pineapple slices to oven, and roast until very soft and beginning to brown, about 15 minutes.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

ROASTED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Lay the pineapple on its side and slice off the top and the bottom. Stand the pineapple upright and trim off the rind. Try to get as much of the 'eyes' off as possible. Slice the pineapple in half, then into quarters. Lay a quarter on the cutting board and slice out the tough core. Repeat with all the quarters.
• Slice each wedge in half and place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each wedge with half the melted butter or coconut oil and sprinkle evenly with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Roast for 15 minutes.
• Flip the pineapple wedges and brush with the remaining butter or oil and roast for another 15 minutes.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

CARIBBEAN ROASTED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• On a plate, mix together the peppercorns, allspice, cinnamon and salt. Sprinkle the spice rub evenly over the pineapple or roll the pineapple in it so it is evenly coated.
• Heat a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the oil and place the pineapple in the pan. Cook, rotating the pineapple regularly, until light brown all over, about 3 minutes. Cover the pan and transfer to the oven. Roast until tender to the core when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 45 minutes. Uncover and allow the pineapple to cool to room temperature in the pan.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the cream, sugar and rum. Using a handheld mixer, beat on high speed until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes.
• Slice the pineapple into 1-inch-thick rounds. Place 1 slice on each plate. Dollop with a spoonful of cream and a crumble of gingersnaps. Drizzle any remaining juice over the top.

ROASTED PINEAPPLE WITH WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Spray both sides of the pineapple rings with nonstick cooking spray. Rub the pineapple slices with the dark brown sugar.
• In a small chilled bowl, beat the cold whipping cream with an electric beater until it starts to thicken. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat until it forms soft peaks. Add the rum and continue beating until medium stiff peaks form.
• Heat a grill or grill pan until very hot. Spray the grill with more nonstick cooking spray. Brush the pineapple slices with butter and lay the pineapple in a single layer on the grill until browned, turning once, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
• Add the pineapple and let roast until brown. Remove to a plate and allow to cool slightly.
• Arrange the pineapple slices on a serving platter, then add a large dollop of the chilled whipped cream to each slice. Serve 2 pineapple rings per person. Garnish; with small bunches of mint or a few mint leaves.

BAKED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Place the slices of pineapple on a foil lined cookie sheet.
• Sprinkle with the brown sugar.
• Bake for 10 minutes in 350 degree oven.

WHOLE VANILLA ROASTED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F
• Using a small knife, remove the eyes from the pineapple. You will see that these eyes form spiral patterns running lengthwise down the pineapple. The most attractive way to remove them it to cut shallow channels that twist down from the top of the pineapple to the bottom. Reserve any pineapple juices.
• Cut the vanilla bean in four lengthwise, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Reserve any vanilla seeds that escape from the vanilla pod. With the help of a wooden skewer, spear the pineapple with the pieces of vanilla bean, just like a roast with garlic.
• In a roasting pan, heat the water, sugar and butter, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and add any accumulated pineapple juice or any vanilla bean seeds that escaped from the vanilla bean.
• Remove from the heat, add the pineapple, turn and baste with the liquid.
• Place in the oven and roast 35 to 40 minutes, basting from time to time. If the sauce has become too thick during the cooking just add a little water and bring to a boil to dissolve the sugar.
• To serve, cut the pineapple into wedges, cut out the core and serve with sauce from the pan and a good quality vanilla ice cream.

ROASTED PINEAPPLE WITH RUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with rack in upper third. Using a chef's knife, slice off top and bottom ends of pineapple. Following the fruit's natural shape and working from top to bottom, slice off skin in strips; cut away any "eyes." Quarter lengthwise; remove tough core. Cut each quarter into 4 pieces lengthwise.
• Place butter in an 8-inch square (2-quart) baking dish, and melt in oven, 6 minutes.
• Arrange pineapple in the dish. In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, honey, pie spice, and rum.
• Spoon sugar mixture over pineapple. Bake until tender and bubbly, about 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature with sorbet, if desired.

AIR FRYER ROASTED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper.
• Core pineapple using a pineapple corer or slicer and slice into rings. Place pineapple rings into the prepared basket.
• Air fry until slices start to roast, 8 to 10 minutes. Flip slices over and air fry an additional 3 to 5 minutes.

ROAST WHOLE PINEAPPLE WITH BLACK PEPPER & RUM

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix the sugar, chilli and 1 tsp cracked pepper in a large roasting tin. Roll the pineapple in the sugar, leave it laying in the excess and dot the top with the pieces of butter. Don't worry if they fall into the tin - they will all be used when basting.
• Roast the pineapple for 30 mins, basting every 10 mins with the buttery juices, until sticky and golden. Remove the dish from the oven and leave to cool slightly.
• While the pineapple is cooling, make the rum cream by whipping the coconut cream to soft peaks, then fold in the rum. Just before serving, baste the pineapple again, then bring to the table whole in the roasting tin, sprinkled with some extra chilli flakes. Carve into wedges or slices, and serve with any extra sauce from the tin and a large dollop of the cream.

ROASTED PINEAPPLE WITH HONEY AND PISTACHIOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir first 3 ingredients in a large bowl until sugar dissolves. Add pineapple; toss to coat. Let marinate, tossing occasionally, for 10 minutes. Place pineapple, one flat side down, on prepared sheet; reserve marinade.
• Roast pineapple for 15 minutes. Turn, brush with marinade, and roast until tender and caramelized, 10-15 minutes. Drizzle remaining marinade over; let cool slightly.
• Divide pineapple among plates. Spoon crème fraîche alongside. Garnish with nuts and mint.

BRAZILIAN GRILLED PINEAPPLE
