Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, or use a casserole dish. Set aside.

Cut the rind off of the pineapple, then cut into rings or slices, removing the hard core from each piece.

In a large zipper bag, or bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon.

Add each pineapple slice to the bag or bowl, and shake to coat completely.

Place the cinnamon sugar-coated pineapple slices on the baking tray or casserole dish.

Repeat with all pineapple slices.

Bake for 20 minutes, or until brown sugar has completely melted and appears to have lightly caramelized on the pineapple.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Choose the Right Pineapple Ripeness 🍍
Select a pineapple with a golden-yellow color and slight give when squeezed—it will caramelize beautifully during roasting without becoming mushy or overly fibrous.
Toast Your Cinnamon First ✨
Lightly toast the cinnamon in a dry pan for 30 seconds before mixing with brown sugar to unlock deeper, more complex flavor that elevates the entire dish.
Cut Thick Rings for Even Roasting 🔪
Slice pineapple into 1-inch thick rings rather than thin slices—they'll develop a caramelized exterior while staying juicy inside and won't dry out during cooking.
Create a Glaze Crust with High Heat 🔥
Roast at 425°F for the first 8-10 minutes to allow the brown sugar to crystallize and create a stunning caramelized crust before lowering heat to finish cooking.
Add Finishing Butter for Richness 🧈
Brush melted butter mixed with the cinnamon-brown sugar glaze in the final 2 minutes of roasting to create a glossy, decadent coating that enhances both flavor and presentation.
