This helps lock in flavor and moisture. You can use glass or plastic containers. Glass containers work best as they do not stain or retain odors. Make sure the pineapple cools to room temperature before sealing. This will help prevent condensation inside the container. When you want to enjoy your leftover pineapple, you can reheat it easily. The best way is to use an oven or a microwave. If using an oven, preheat it to 350°F (175°C). Place the pineapple in a baking dish and cover it with foil. Heat for about 10 minutes. This keeps the pineapple juicy and warm. If you prefer the microwave, put the pineapple on a microwave-safe plate. Heat for 30 seconds at a time until warm. Be careful not to overheat; you want to keep its texture and flavor. If you want to keep your roasted pineapple for longer, freezing is a great option. Cut the pineapple into smaller pieces before freezing. Lay them flat on a baking sheet first, then freeze until solid. This way, they won’t stick together. After they are frozen, transfer the pieces to a freezer bag. Remove as much air as possible before sealing. When you’re ready to use them, move the bag to the fridge the night before. This lets them thaw slowly. You can also use a microwave to defrost them quickly if needed. Enjoy the roasted pineapple in smoothies or as a topping for yogurt! Roasting pineapple takes about 20-25 minutes. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice your pineapple into rings or chunks. Place them on a baking sheet. Brush the honey glaze on both sides.

Clover honey is mild and sweet. Buckwheat honey gives a rich, bold flavor. Experimenting with different honey types can enhance your dish. Absolutely! You can grill the pineapple instead of roasting. Preheat your grill to medium heat. Brush the honey glaze on the pineapple as you would for the oven. Place the pineapple slices on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
