Grilled Pineapple in my sandwich maker

Ingredients
1 fresh pineapple - peeled, cut into 1 inch rings
Olive oil to coat the pineapple slices / butter
1 tsp crushed pepper
salt to taste
1 tbsp honey

Directions
I used olive oil to grease the sandwich maker. You can grease the pineapple slices also.
Grill the slices in the sandwich maker till the grill marks appear. The sandwich maker also cuts them into wedges making it easy to serve and eat!
In a bowl, add the grilled slices, pour honey, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
This was delicious, and it makes an easy side dish to any meal. Can be served with ice-cream / pancakes / simply as dessert!
