Best Traeger Smoked Pineapple Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 medium pineapple (ripe (smell bottom, if it’s sweet, it’s ready))
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp brown sugar (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat pellet smoker: Preheat Traeger Grills or Masterbuilt or Pitt Boss or whatever pellet grill you’re using to 225 degrees F.

2. 2

   Cut pineapple: Prep pineapple for smoking. Cut pineapple down the center, including the fruit crown (what is the top part of a pineapple called, you know, the green spikey part).

3. 3

   Season pineapple halves with cinnamon and brown sugar if desired. Just sprinkle them on the yellow fleshy side of the pineapple, and rub in the spices for a moment to help them stick while cooking on the pellet grill.

4. 4

   Smoke pineapple at 225 degree F for 30 minutes, CUT SIDE DOWN, directly on the smoker grill grates with the lid closed.

5. 5

   Flip pineapple so the cut side faces up in the Traeger. Close the lid.

6. 6

   Continue smoking pineapple for 30 or 45 minutes more, until done. The pineapple will take on more of a golden color and be very, very juicy. You’ll be able to pierce it with a fork, but the texture won’t be mushy.

7. 7

   Remove smoked pineapple, cool, serve and enjoy! In the Sip Bite Go smoker recipe demonstration, you’ll see it was easy to cut slices and eat it “watermelon style”. You can also easily cut the skin off pineapple after smoking it. It’s really good in mixed smoked cocktails.
