Grilling fruit is a simple and delicious way to try something different. Grilling caramelizes the sugar naturally found in fruit and offers a slightly different flavor. It’s very delicious.
The best part about grilling fruit is that it is so simple! Large fruits works best one the grill. I like to grill pineapple & melon. All you do is slice the fruit in thick slices and lay them on a hot grill. They only stay on long enough to heat them and create grill marks. Flip the fruit to cook on the opposite side. Both types of fruit I mentioned take about 2-4 minutes per side depending on how hot your grill is.
Grilled fruit is an excellent dessert, side dish or topping. We had grilled pineapple on our salads tonight. I have also served it on top of grilled chicken and just as a side with dinner.
Happy grilling!
FYI: corn on the cob is also fantastic when it is grilled. Just spray it with a little olive oil and cook on all sides (about 2 minutes per side) till you get grill marks.
