Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.  Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the orange juice, brown sugar, and honey.

Peel and core the pineapple.  Slice into 2-3" long slices, roughly 3/4" thick.  Allow pineapple slices to macerate in the orange juice mixture for 10 minutes.

Remove pineapple from the marinade (reserve the marinade)--and place onto the baking sheet--spacing them apart evenly, so they are not touching.  Roast for 15 minutes.  Using tongs, turn the pineapple and brush each slice with the marinade.  Continue to roast for an additional 15-20 minutes, until pineapple is lightly brown.

Allow pineapple to cool on rack.  Remove from pan and toss with 2 tablespoons of reserved marinade.

Serve pineapple with greek yogurt.  Garnish with chopped pistachios and fresh mint.
