Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Prepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat (about 350-400°F or 175-200°C) and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
1 mins

Grill the Pineapple: Lightly coat the pineapple slices with cooking spray. Place them on the preheated grill. (Cook time: 5-10 minutes)

03

Step
8 mins

Caramelize the Pineapple: Grill the pineapple slices until they are lightly browned and caramelized, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. (Cook time: 5-10 minutes)

04

Step
3 mins

Chop the Grilled Pineapple: Remove the grilled pineapple from the grill and transfer it to a cutting board to cool slightly. Once cooled, chop the pineapple into small, bite-sized pieces. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chopped grilled pineapple, red bell pepper, sweet onion, fresh cilantro, jalapeño pepper, lime juice, minced garlic, white sugar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

06

Step
1 mins

Chill and Blend Flavors: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salsa for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is crucial for achieving the best flavor. (Chill time: 1 hour)

For a deeper smoky flavor, consider grilling the bell pepper and onion alongside the pineapple.
Adjust the amount of jalapeño pepper to your preference. For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño before chopping.
If you don't have a grill, you can use a grill pan on the stovetop or broil the pineapple in the oven.
Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lime juice, salt, or sugar to balance the flavors.
Serve the grilled pineapple salsa with your favorite grilled meats, fish, tacos, or tortilla chips. Enjoy!
