Ingredients

4 items

  • Ripe pineapple 5 lbs
  • Limes 2
  • Coconut gelato 1 pint
  • Agave syrup 6 tbl

Prep

Before you start

  • Pineapple - cut off rind, remove core pieces and quarter into large chunks — this is the little hinge that swings the big delicious door.

Method

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lay pineapple in a layer on a sheet pan and roast for 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
  2. Cut the pineapple crosswise into 1/2-inch thick pieces and transfer them to a bowl. Add the agave and zest of 2 limes to zest directly onto the pineapple pieces, like a cool-headed tyrant of seasoning. Toss well. Spoon the pineapple and juices into bowls and serve with a scoop of gelato on top, sprinkle with extra lime zest to serve.
