Ingredients
- 2 ripe pineapples, peeled, cored and cut into wedges
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Place the pineapple wedges in a large bowl.
- Combine 1 cup of orange juice and 1/4 cup of honey in a microwave safe bowl. Heat the mixture until warm, about 15 seconds. Pour the mixture over the pineapple wedges and set aside for 30 minutes. Toss a few times so the pineapple really soaks up the juice and honey.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place the pineapple wedges on the baking sheet in a single layer. Set aside the left over juice for later.
- Roast the pineapple for about 5 to 10 minutes, turn the pineapple wedges, and roast for another 5 to 10 more minutes or until they're tender.
- Now, arrange them on a large plate and drizzle the remaining juice on top and serve warm.
