Roasted Pineapple with Cayenne and Allspice

I found this recipe in a weight watcher cookbook. It was delicious! I have listed the recipe exactly as it appears in the book, but I made a few modifications when I made it. I did not brush oil on the pineapple and I did not measure the spices. I just sprinkled a little bit on each side of the pineapple. I also didn’t have any lime juice so I skipped that part. The pineapple still turned out beautifully! Enjoy!

1 peeled and cored pineapple

1 ½ teaspoons canola oil

¼ teaspoon ground allspice

1/8 teaspoon cayenne

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1. Preheat the oven to 500 F. Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick spray.

2. Cut the pineapple lengthwise into16thin wedges. Lightly brush both sides of each wedge with the oil, sprinkle with the allspice and cayenne.

3. Place the pineapple, curved side down, on the baking sheet. Roasted until tender, about 12 minutes. Remove the pineapple from the oven, increase the oven temperature to broil. Brush the pineapple with the lime juice and broil 5 inches from the heat until lightly browned on the edges, 1-2 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

It's been a while...

It's been a while since I have posted on our Low Carbies Blog. The main reason is because of this.... My sweet little baby boy! Thats right! I'm using him as an excuse. Shortly after finding out I was pregnant. The craving for carbs was unbearable! After over a year of not eating sugar or white flour, I started again. Now, I regret it. I ended up with Gestational Diabetes and I think that was even worse than dealing with the cravings! Well, my little man is now 3 months old and its time to get back on track. I really want to get healthy again, maybe not quite as strict. I'm on the search for new low carb recipes. Here's what I've been having for lunch lately! FRUITY CHICKEN SALAD!
