👨🍳Instructions
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss pineapple chunks with olive oil and a small pinch of salt. Grill for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly charred and caramelized.
💡Tip: Do not overcrowd the pan to achieve proper caramelization.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, smoked paprika, and sliced red chili to create a sweet-spicy glaze.
💡Tip: Adjust chili quantity depending on your heat preference.
Warm the flatbreads directly on the grill pan for 1–2 minutes per side until soft with light char spots.
💡Tip: Keep flatbreads wrapped in a towel after heating to stay soft.
Spread a thin layer of whipped coconut feta over each warm flatbread.
💡Tip: If using coconut cream, chill and whip it beforehand for a fluffy texture.
Arrange grilled pineapple, mango cubes, papaya slices, and dragon fruit evenly over the flatbreads.
💡Tip: Pat fruits dry slightly to prevent excess moisture.
Drizzle the chili-lime glaze over the fruit and sprinkle toasted coconut flakes, mint, and cilantro on top.
💡Tip: Drizzle lightly to keep the bread crisp.
