ROASTED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or parchment paper.
• Slice pineapple crosswise into 1/4-inch slices, and place in a single layer on the baking sheet. Squeeze lime juice over pineapple slices. Combine the sugar, salt, and chili powder in a shallow dish. Coat each pineapple slice on both sides with sugar mixture and return to the baking sheet.

ROASTED PINEAPPLE PUREE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small saucepan, combine 3/4 cup water and sugar and cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves.
• Cut each pineapple half crosswise into 3 pieces. Rub pineapple with vanilla seeds and place in a roasting pan in a single layer. Pour sugar syrup over pineapple to coat completely. Add vanilla pod to roasting pan and cover with parchment-lined foil.
• Roast, turning pineapple every 30 minutes and basting with sugar syrup, until pineapple is caramelized and tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 2 hours.
• Remove pineapple from oven, and let cool. Discard vanilla bean. Coarsely chop pineapple. Reserve 1/4 cup for topping Frozen Coconut and Roasted Pineapple Cake; transfer remaining pineapple and any accumulated juices to the bowl of a food processor and puree. Refrigerate until ready to use, up to 2 days.

ROASTED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Lay the pineapple on its side and slice off the top and the bottom. Stand the pineapple upright and trim off the rind. Try to get as much of the 'eyes' off as possible. Slice the pineapple in half, then into quarters. Lay a quarter on the cutting board and slice out the tough core. Repeat with all the quarters.
• Slice each wedge in half and place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each wedge with half the melted butter or coconut oil and sprinkle evenly with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Roast for 15 minutes.
• Flip the pineapple wedges and brush with the remaining butter or oil and roast for another 15 minutes.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

ROAST WHOLE PINEAPPLE WITH BLACK PEPPER & RUM

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix the sugar, chilli and 1 tsp cracked pepper in a large roasting tin. Roll the pineapple in the sugar, leave it laying in the excess and dot the top with the pieces of butter. Don't worry if they fall into the tin - they will all be used when basting.
• Roast the pineapple for 30 mins, basting every 10 mins with the buttery juices, until sticky and golden. Remove the dish from the oven and leave to cool slightly.
• While the pineapple is cooling, make the rum cream by whipping the coconut cream to soft peaks, then fold in the rum. Just before serving, baste the pineapple again, then bring to the table whole in the roasting tin, sprinkled with some extra chilli flakes. Carve into wedges or slices, and serve with any extra sauce from the tin and a large dollop of the cream.

ROASTED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Prepare oven and fruit Heat oven to 450°F. Cut top and bottom ends off pineapple, then stand it on end and cut off skin (following the curve of the fruit). Remove "eyes" with the tip of the knife. Cut pineapple in half lengthwise; cut lengthwise into 1-inch-wide spears. Cut out core and discard.
• Roast Stir together sugar and salt and sprinkle evenly over both sides of pineapple pieces. Arrange pineapple in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Dot evenly with butter; add rosemary. Roast, turning over twice during cooking and brushing with pan juices, until fruit is soft and browned in spots, about 45 minutes. Serve fruit warm or at room temperature.

ROASTED PINEAPPLE WITH HONEY AND PISTACHIOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir first 3 ingredients in a large bowl until sugar dissolves. Add pineapple; toss to coat. Let marinate, tossing occasionally, for 10 minutes. Place pineapple, one flat side down, on prepared sheet; reserve marinade.
• Roast pineapple for 15 minutes. Turn, brush with marinade, and roast until tender and caramelized, 10-15 minutes. Drizzle remaining marinade over; let cool slightly.
• Divide pineapple among plates. Spoon crème fraîche alongside. Garnish with nuts and mint.

GRILL-ROASTED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-low, indirect heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill; for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off, ideally the one in the middle). If you have a grill thermometer, the ideal temperature range is 275°F-350°F. Place pineapple over indirect heat, cover grill, and slowly roast, turning pineapple occasionally, until outside is dark brown, flesh is beginning to collapse underneath skin, and some juices are bubbling up in places, 2-2 1/2 hours. Let cool slightly, then cut as desired.
