To create this tropical delight, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 ripe pineapple, peeled and diced

- 1 small red onion, diced
- 1 lime, juiced
- Fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to prepare your Grilled Pineapple Salsa with Plantain Chips:
- Preheat your grill or grill pan.
Ensure your grill is hot enough to create those beautiful grill marks on the pineapple. - Prepare the pineapple.
Brush the diced pineapple chunks with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance the grilling process. - Grill the pineapple.
Place the pineapple on the grill and cook until grill marks appear, approximately 3-4 minutes. This will caramelize the sugars, intensifying the pineapple’s natural sweetness. - Mix the salsa ingredients.
In a large bowl, combine the grilled pineapple, diced bell pepper, diced red onion, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt. Mix well to ensure the flavors meld together. - Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
While the salsa ingredients are mingling, turn your attention to the plantain chips. - Prepare the plantain slices.
Arrange the thinly sliced plantains on a baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil, ensuring they are lightly coated. - Bake the plantain chips.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking. - Serve and enjoy.
Pair the freshly made salsa with the crispy plantain chips, and let the tropical flavors transport you to a sunny paradise.
