Thai Grilled Pineapple Ingredients :
- 1 pineapple, sliced into 1-inch thick rounds (approximately 6 slices)
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated coconut
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons palm sugar
- 6 teaspoons Greek yogurt
How to Make Thai Grilled Pineapple
To prepare the Thai Grilled Pineapple Recipe, gather all your ingredients. Begin by toasting the coconut in a shallow frying pan until it turns lightly brown and aromatic. Transfer it to a bowl and set aside.
Heat butter in the same pan until completely melted.
Add the pineapple slices to the melted butter, then sprinkle them with palm sugar and lemon juice. If your pineapple slices are already sweet enough, you can omit the sugar. Flip the slices once to evenly coat both sides with the palm sugar and lemon juice.
Cook the pineapple slices, stirring and flipping regularly, until the palm sugar is dissolved.
Once the palm sugar has dissolved, continue cooking each side for about 3 minutes over low to medium heat until the pineapple is nicely grilled.
Arrange 2 pineapple slices in each serving bowl and top with a dollop of fresh and creamy yogurt.
Sprinkle with the toasted coconut and serve the Thai Grilled Pineapple Recipe as a delightful dessert following a meal such as Thai Jasmine Sticky Rice.
Recipe Notes
Ensure the pineapple is ripe for optimal sweetness; adjust sugar accordingly.
For a richer flavor, use salted butter when grilling.
Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt or coconut cream for added creaminess.
Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes over the grilled pineapple for a delightful crunch.
Serve warm as a dessert or alongside grilled meats for a balanced meal.
