Roasted Pineapple with Lime and Brown Sugar image

Yield makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large, fresh, extrasweet pineapple
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
2 fresh limes, quartered
6 scoops vanilla ice cream

Steps:

Position the oven racks so that they are evenly spaced, with one rack in the center. Preheat the oven to convection roast at 425°F. Cover a rimless baking sheet with foil and coat with non-stick spray.
Slice the top and bottom off the pineapple, cut off the prickly brown skin, and cut out the core. Cut the flesh crosswise into six 1-inch slices.
Place the pineapple on the baking sheet, brush with the melted butter, and sprinkle with the salt and brown sugar. Roast for 10 minutes; turn over and roast for 3 to 5 more minutes, until the pineapple is lightly browned on both sides. Place on individual serving dishes and squeeze lime juice over each slice. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and serve immediately.
