Grilled Fruit Appreciation Thread

[A-FROGIRL]

We just grilled up some pineapple and apples last night. They were SOOOOOOO good. Just curious what other fruit people have tried grilling.

So what do grilled fruit taste like? Are they sweet? Is it like Bananas flambe?

Grilled peaches are wonderful. But my favorite is pineapple.

[SuxBeingU]

we have done peaches, bananas, apricots, mangos, pineapples. Don't think we have tried apples yet. maybe this weekend.

Grilled Plantains. Mmmmmm!


Love the Pineapples with some brown sugar on em too!

Bananas (best when slow smoked in the peel), peaches, pears, nectarines, apples, pineapple. They all come out great.

Also, sliced (about 1/4 inch thick) slabs of potato with a little olive oil and seasoned salt come out great as well.

Edit: Almost forgot about corn (though not a fruit).

Pineapple, with chicken breasts. Very good. Outback has a good chicken griller plate.

The dearly departed OBediah made the best grilled peaches bar none.

Pineapple slices dipped on coconut milk, then sprinkled with sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon, then grilled. Top with vanilla ice cream and enjoy. To make it interesting, let them soak in some rum for an hour first. Peaches and bananas sound grub too, i'll have to try those.

I do peaches then put over vanilla ice cream.

Now veggies are the best off the grill. My best is sliced potatoes (length-width wise) mixed with sliced onion, salt, pepper, lots and lots of butter and the KEY ingredient ... rosemary. Wrap it all up (with potatoes stacked with onion layers and butter layers) in foil, double, and put on the grill for a good 45 minutes.

This is absolutely incredible as a side to beef, salmon, chicken and grilled asparagus or corn.

You can do the same foil wrap with mixed veggies (squash, zucchini, green beans, whatever) with itailian dressing and salt and pepper.

Steamed anything in foil on the bbq is the best you could have.

If a teriyaki skewer w/ pineapples count, then yes! I like grilled pineapples. I'd love to try grilling other fruits as well.

Nothing special. Just sprinkle garlic salt or Lawrys Seasoning salt over the chicken breast and wrap it in foil with the pineapple. Grill the package on the grill and then remove the stuff and grill it seperately. Grilling it in the foil seals in the juices and gives the chicken a nice flavor before you grill it.
And then there is the awesome dish at Outback. The Chicken Griller stuff. Very good.

Grilled some peaches yesterday...topped with a small scoop of mascarpone and drizzled honey over top. Tasty stuff.
