Ingredients Needed for Brazilian Grilled Pineapple whole pineapple Mazola Corn Oil brown sugar Recipe Tips & Notes Be sure to chill the pineapple as specified in the recipe. This is an important step for a couple of reasons! One, it aids in preventing the pineapple from tearing apart on the grill. And two, it gives the brown sugar the time it needs to soak into the pineapple before grilling– which is yummy! Only cut the pineapple in rings or wedges. If you prefer to cut it into chunks before grilling, you must use a grilling mat.

Using Mazola Corn Oil to Grill the Pineapple Using oil is essential to preventing to pineapple from sticking to the grill. So why not make a heart-healthy choice and use Mazola Corn Oil? It has a neutral taste that lets the natural flavor of your food stand out. Plus, Mazola has a smoke point higher than most cooking oils at 450°F and performs well in a variety of cooking applications. Many home cooks may not realize that all cooking oils have a smoke point that, once exceeded, not only negatively affect the food’s flavor and nutritional value. We started this recipe by oiling the grill grates with corn oil using tongs a paper towel that had been soaked in Mazola Corn Oil. Once the pineapple had been placed on the grill and was ready to flip, I brushed another layer of corn oil on each of the wedges to prevent sticking.
