1
Prepare the Pineapple
Start by cutting the top and bottom off the fresh pineapple. Stand it upright and carefully slice off the skin, ensuring to remove all the eyes. Once peeled, cut the pineapple into thick slices, about 1 inch each.
2
Make the Marinade
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, lime juice, coconut oil, and salt. If using fresh ghost pepper, finely chop it and add to the mixture. If using dried ghost pepper, crush it and add to the mixture. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved.
3
Marinate the Pineapple
Place the pineapple slices in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each slice is evenly coated. Cover the dish and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

4
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are well-lit and ashy before placing the pineapple on the grill.
5
Grill the Pineapple
Once the grill is hot, place the marinated pineapple slices on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is caramelized. Be careful not to overcook, as this can make the pineapple mushy.
6
Serve
Remove the grilled pineapple from the grill and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, garnished with a sprinkle of extra ghost pepper if desired for an added kick.
