Roasted Pineapple With Pistachio Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• For the pineapple: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Begin by peeling the pineapple and cutting it into 1/2-inch-thick planks approximately 2 by 2 inches wide; discard the core. Arrange in a single layer in a roasting pan. Whisk together 1/2 cup water, the rum, sugar, vanilla and salt, and then pour over the pineapple. Sprinkle the top with a little extra sugar, if desired, then roast until caramelized, 17 to 18 minutes. When done, remove the pineapple from the pan and allow to cool slightly before dicing.
• For the pecans: Arrange the pecans in a baking sheet and toast until slightly darkened and fragrant, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before adding the butter to the baking sheet. Immediately toss the baking sheet to coat the pecans as the butter melts. Sprinkle evenly with the sugar and salt and toss once more. Set aside on a plate to cool.
• To assemble, place 2 to 3 scoops of vanilla bean ice cream in a bowl. Top with 2 to 3 spoonfuls of rum-roasted pineapple and garnish with sugared pecans.

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place a large ovenproof sauté pan over medium heat and add the butter. When it begins to bubble, arrange the pineapple pieces in the pan and sprinkle with brown sugar. Reduce heat to low, and lightly brown the pineapple on both sides. Remove from heat and add the cinnamon stick, star anise, vanilla and half the rum. Place the pan into the oven and roast for 15 minutes, turning the pineapple half-way through. When the pineapple is soft and caramelized remove from the oven and stir in the remaining rum and return to the oven for 2 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, reserving the caramelized juices.
• To serve: Place a pineapple slice on one side of the plate and scoop of pistachio ice cream on other side. Drizzle reserved juices and lemon juice around the ice cream and pineapple and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or parchment paper.
• Slice pineapple crosswise into 1/4-inch slices, and place in a single layer on the baking sheet. Squeeze lime juice over pineapple slices. Combine the sugar, salt, and chili powder in a shallow dish. Coat each pineapple slice on both sides with sugar mixture and return to the baking sheet. Transfer pineapple slices to oven, and roast until very soft and beginning to brown, about 15 minutes.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir first 3 ingredients in a large bowl until sugar dissolves. Add pineapple; toss to coat. Let marinate, tossing occasionally, for 10 minutes. Place pineapple, one flat side down, on prepared sheet; reserve marinade.
• Roast pineapple for 15 minutes. Turn, brush with marinade, and roast until tender and caramelized, 10-15 minutes. Drizzle remaining marinade over; let cool slightly.
• Divide pineapple among plates. Spoon crème fraîche alongside. Garnish with nuts and mint.
