One of the biggest challenges to paleo dieting is dessert. I've tried baking with almond flour, and I'll do some recipes with it later, but my favorite paleo desserts are those that are really simple, but hit the spot. Grilled fruit is a great example. There's something about hot, juicy fruit that makes it just awesome. The heat also helps to caramelized the sugars, making the fruit sweeter than if you served it raw. For this recipe, rather than just grill up some pineapple, I crusted it with ground brazil nuts to give it an added saltiness and some extra protein.
Ingredients:
1 pineapple, peeled and cut into rings, center removed
1 cup raw organic brazil nuts
In a food processor, grind brazil nuts coarsely. Heat your grill to high heat and place your pineapple rings on the grill. Sprinkle the tops of each ring liberally with ground brazil nuts.
Heat until the bottoms of the pineapple rings have nice char marks and the nuts have begun to brown.
Remove from heat and serve.
If you don't have brazil nuts available to you in your area, or you aren't sure what to look for, you can order organic brazil nuts here.
