How to Make Baked Pineapple Recipe without Bread:

- Step 2 – Slice Pineapple – Next, slice the pineapple to the desired size. Our slices were about 1/2″ thick and it yielded 7 slices. It was a small pineapple.
- Step 3 – Baked in the Oven – Place the pineapple slices on a foil lined baking sheet. You can also use a baking mat.
- Step 4 – Top with brown sugar – Sprinkle the brown sugar on top.
- Step 5 – Bake Pineapple – Bake for 20-25 minutes until tender.
- Step 6 – Serve and enjoy – It is that easy.
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you are all set to enjoy the best dessert. If you are feeling fancy, add a mint sprig to have a really awesome dessert with very little effort.
Tips for Easy Pineapple Dessert:
- Pineapple – We recommend using fresh pineapple for this dessert. Canned fruit doesn’t hold up very well in this recipe.
- Slicing pineapple – Slice pineapple about the same size so it cooks evenly.
- Baking Sheet – We recommend lining baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. This allows for easy clean up and to easily remove the pineapple.
- Brown Sugar – We used brown sugar in this recipe, but you can easily use a healthier sweetener to fit within your diet.
Topping Ideas:
- Vanilla Ice Cream
- Cinnamon
- Nutmeg
- Caramel Syrup
- Whipped Topping
- Crushed up graham crackers
- Mandarin Oranges
Not only does this make an amazing dessert but you can serve the slices alone with holiday ham, as a side dish and more! Everyone will love it.

Baked Pineapple Dessert Variations
- Pineapple – If you do not have fresh pineapple, try using crushed pineapple or pineapple chunks in a prepared baking dish. It will still be amazing but have more of a baked pineapple pineapple casserole consistency.
- Casserole Dish – Instead of a baking sheet, you can use a casserole dish if you would like to serve it that way.
- Top with Sauce – Add caramel sauce on top of the ice cream for an extra treat or even cool whip.
- Serve as a side dish – Omit the ice cream and serve this as a side dish to ham, chicken and lots more. Grilled chicken or baked ham would be amazing with this. We really love this.
How to Store:
Place leftover baked pineapple in an air tight container. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
If you prefer to have it warm again, heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds then top with ice cream.
Why we Love this Recipe:
- Simple Ingredients – This is a perfect recipe to make for yourself or serve to a crowd. It only requires a few ingredients and they can easily be changed.
- Healthy – This healthy dessert is perfect if you wanting something sweet but trying staying within your diet.
