One of the most popular dishes at a Brazilian steakhouse in Dallas is these grilled pineapple slices. Although I’m not sure whether this is the precise formula they use, it tastes pretty similar. Excellent side with steak and kabobs.

We didn’t put it on the grill, just left it in the dish and it was wonderful, reminded me of eating at the Brazilian restaurants. We also didn’t’ use a plastic bag, I put the sugar and cinnamon in a flat dish and then coated the pineapple on both sides before placing in dish.
This was finally the recipe I was looking for. So simple and extremely good.
Usually serve it alongside barbecued ribs.
so good it is delicious amazing
I smoked ours for about 1 hour at 200 degrees with wild cherry on the second go. I will say the one I smoked is talked about more by neighbors and family I have shared this recipe with.
I did add a 1/2 tsp of ginger and 2 TBSP of Butter to the recipe. I did not grill the pineapple. I baked it at 350°F for 20 minutes. The results was astounding. I personally do not care for pineapple. But I made it as a request from my son. I tried it myself, and it was like eating warm, apple pie. I enjoyed it.
Oh so delicious as written. Cut spears thinking it would go with a scoop of ice cream. But couldn’t wait to taste and as it turned out it was the perfect compliment for shrimp and steak. Next time with pork…
Baked fresh pineapple at 375F. 30 minutes. Delicious.
Loved this…it was so good! Marinaded the pineapple for a couple of hours in the bag, then grilled on medium heat for about 10 to 15 minutes. I turned the pineapple every couple of minutes. It was delicious!
My guests couldn’t stop raving about this — so simple, and so delicious!
Delicious treat. Highly recommend for any BBQ.
Probably would have been better if I had grilled or baked it. I smoked it instead to go w the rest of the smoked meal. Flavor was good but not cooked long enough. Need to try again and either prepare for longer time smoking or follow directions 🙂
Quick, easy, and delicious!
We had to down the cinnamon just a bit. but they are great.
We loved it! I used 2 pineapples with the amount of brown sugar and cinnamon listed for 1 pineapple and think I’ll cut it back even more next time. But I’m definitely planning to make this again.
Delicious
Made this just as directions stated, only made a smaller amount therefore ingredients were adjusted accordingly. This turned out really nice as a side dish to go along with a grilled red snapper and grilled corn on the cob.
Great easy recipe. I’ve used this for just a side of pineapple or rings for making pineapple burgers. Doesn’t matter how you eat them they taste fantastic!
Made this in my oven at 130 degrees celsius, flipped them over after four minutes each side and got a rave review from my family! Thank you for this classic Brazilian dessert recipe!
It was great and I will make it again.
This is a winner. I did cut the ingredients in half and it was plenty sweet. It tasted very similar to the pineapple I have had in Brazilian restaurants. I liked being able to cook it in the oven. I cooked it for 15 minutes and turned the pineapple half way through the baking process. I used a glass-top dish as recommended by another reviewer. I now use this one instead of the Trisha Yearwood recipe.
