Sweet honey-lime glazed pineapple wedges finished with fragrant toasted coconut.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into wedges

→ Glaze

02 - 3 tablespoons honey
03 - 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
04 - 1 teaspoon lime zest
05 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
06 - Pinch of salt

→ Topping

07 - 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Arrange the pineapple wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, lime zest, melted butter, and salt.

07 - Arrange the roasted pineapple on a serving platter. Sprinkle with toasted coconut and serve warm or at room temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in 35 minutes — only 10 minutes of prep and 25 minutes in the oven.
  • Naturally gluten-free and vegetarian, with easy swaps for vegan and dairy-free diets.
  • Minimal ingredients — fresh pineapple, honey, lime, butter, and coconut do all the work.
  • Versatile serving options — wonderful on its own, or paired with vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt.
  • Beautiful and impressive — golden caramelized wedges make a stunning presentation with almost no effort.
02 -
  • Choose a ripe pineapple — a sweet, fully ripe fruit will caramelize beautifully and taste far better than an underripe one.
  • Don't skip the lime zest — it adds an aromatic brightness to the glaze that lime juice alone cannot achieve.
  • Watch the coconut closely when toasting; it goes from golden to burnt very quickly. Stay at the stove and stir constantly.
  • Reserve a little glaze to brush over the pineapple after roasting for an extra glossy, lacquered finish.
  • For even caramelization, make sure the baking sheet is not overcrowded — use two sheets if necessary.
  • Check allergen labels on all individual products, especially the shredded coconut and butter, for cross-contamination information.
