Grilling

- Place the pineapple halves cut-side down on the grill and grill for about 5-7 minutes, until charred and caramelized.
Yogurt Mixture
- In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut yogurt, lime juice, lime zest, and optional maple syrup. Stir well.
Assembly
- Once grilled pineapples have cooled, fill each half with the yogurt mixture.
Finishing Touches
- Lightly sprinkle chili powder and flaky sea salt on top. Optionally, add toasted coconut and garnish with fresh mint or microgreens.
Notes
Choose ripe pineapples for the best flavor. Adjust spice levels according to preference. Experiment with garnishes like fresh berries or edible flowers.
