Ingredients:

  • 900g fresh pineapple, peeled and sliced into rings
  • 28g unsalted butter, melted
  • 100g light brown sugar
  • 5ml pure vanilla extract
  • 1g ground cinnamon
  • 1.5g kosher salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the 900g pineapple rings dry with a paper towel to remove excess surface moisture, then arrange the slices in a single layer in a baking dish.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 28g melted butter, 100g light brown sugar, 5ml vanilla extract, 1g ground cinnamon, and 1.5g kosher salt.
  3. Using a pastry brush, generously coat the top of each pineapple ring with the glaze, pressing the sugar into the fruit to ensure it adheres during roasting.
  4. Place the dish on the center rack of the oven and roast for 20–25 minutes until the edges turn a dark mahogany brown and the glaze bubbles into a thick syrup.
  5. For an extra-crispy finish, broil on high for the final 2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
