# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The honey and lime create this addictive glaze that gets jammy and caramelized, turning ordinary pineapple into something you'll crave.
  • Takes barely half an hour from kitchen to table, so you can impress people without stress.
  • Toasted coconut adds this unexpected crunch and aroma that makes people pause mid-bite wondering what just happened.
02 -
  • Don't skip toasting the coconut fresh—pre-toasted versions lose their fragrance and turn papery, so those few minutes at the stove actually matter.
  • If your pineapple releases a lot of juice while roasting, that's normal and beautiful; it concentrates the flavor even more.
03 -
  • Fresh lime juice makes an enormous difference—bottled just tastes thin by comparison, so squeeze by hand if you can.
  • Don't rush the coconut toasting; low and slow beats high and fast every single time, and you'll actually get to enjoy the aroma instead of chasing smoke.
