  1. Preheat the grill: Set your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly spray the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

  3. Coat the pineapple: Arrange the fresh pineapple spears in a shallow dish and coat each spear with the seasoning mixture.

  5. Serve immediately: Remove the pineapple from the grill and transfer it to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
