Roasted Pineapple With Honey and Pistachios

Hello Hello!

We had a pineapple that we weren't using so I decided to find a yummy recipe that used up the pineapple that serves 4 people.

Ingredients
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons honey
1 medium ripe pineapple, peeled, cored, cut lengthwise into 8 wedges
1/4 cup crème fraîche or yoghurt
1/3 cup unsalted pistachios, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves


Method
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. 

For the marinade...
Stir first 3 ingredients in a large bowl until sugar dissolves.
Add pineapple; toss to coat.
Leave to marinate, tossing occasionally, for 10 minutes. 

To cook...
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 caramelised, 10-15 minutes. 
Drizzle remaining marinade over; let cool slightly.

To serve...
Divide pineapple among plates.
Spoon crème fraîche alongside.
Garnish with nuts and mint.
