Tips & Notes
- Use pineapple at room temperature, or toss it the moment the coconut oil is melted. Coconut oil firms up on cold fruit and leaves waxy patches, so the glaze coats unevenly and the maple syrup slides off.
- Wait to flip each wedge until it releases easily from the grates with dark grill marks. Forcing it early tears the fruit, and if the maple glaze flares or blackens, move the pieces to a cooler part of the grill to finish.
- On a shared grill, scrub the grates hard before oiling them, since leftover marinades and sauces from other foods can carry gluten. A clean grill basket or a fresh sheet of foil is a good backup.
