- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Notes
For added flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lime juice over the grilled pineapple.
These can be served on their own, as a topping for ice cream, or alongside grilled meats for a tropical pairing.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated on the grill or in a skillet.
