Pineapple never tasted so good. Warm and slightly caramelized from the heat of the oven, the fruit's flavorful complexity really shines through. Serve this at breakfast, sprinkled with a bit of crunchy granola, enjoy it as a sweet snack, or offer it as a fresh, light dessert to finish a meal. Mint is a classic herb-pairing with fruit, but basil and tarragon would both be delicious options too. Crystallized ginger imparts a ton of fabulous flavor to the creamy yogurt. It’s a wonderful topping for almost any type of broiled or baked fruit. Look for it in the bulk foods section of natural foods stores so you don’t have to buy more then you need.

Ingredients

Plain fat free Greek yogurt

¼ cup(s)

Crystallized ginger

1 Tbsp, minced

Pineapple

1 medium, peeled, cored, cut into 12 rounds

Unpacked light brown sugar

1½ Tbsp

Ground allspice

½ tsp

Peppermint leaves

4 piece(s), large sprigs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Set oven rack about 5 inches from broiler; preheat broiler.
  2. Place yogurt in a small bowl and stir in ginger; set aside.
  3. Place 3 slices pineapple in each of 4 small (10-inch) oval gratin dishes, overlapping them slightly; sprinkle with brown sugar and allspice. Broil pineapple until bubbling and lightly caramelized, about 8 minutes (check once or twice to make sure pineapple isn’t getting too dark).
  4. Remove pineapple from oven; top each dish with 1 rounded tablespoon yogurt. Garnish with mint (if using) and serve warm.
  5. Serving size: 3 slices pineapple with 1 tablespoon topping
