The combination of pineapple and a vegetable is a great one, and they go very well together. If you’re anything like us, you probably keep a few bags of chopped pineapple in your freezer so that you can whip up a quick side dish to add to your meals.
Peppers, green onions and ginger are a few of the most common vegetable combinations you’ll see with pineapple. Here is a list of some of the other vegetables you can throw into your sauté or stir-fry along with pineapple to create a satisfying side dish.
The best vegetables that go with pineapple are carrots, red onions, ginger, and sweet potato.
Carrots and pineapple
This combination is a great one for the little ones. It’s sweet and mild (in case your children are picky), while also being healthy, with carrots being a great source of beta-carotene and potassium. For extra sweetness, try adding a tablespoon of brown sugar when you’re sautéing the carrots.
Onions and pineapple
This is another great combo for the picky eaters. Onions are a great source of B vitamins, as well as dietary fiber, Vitamin C and potassium. Pineapple also brings a touch of sweetness to the table.
Red Bell Pepper and pineapple
You may have heard of the saying “apples and oranges,” but it doesn’t apply to vegetables! With this combination, we’re talking about red bell peppers and pineapple – , but both delicious in their own ways. This combo is great for anyone who wants a little variety.
Sweet potato and pineapple
Sweet potatoes are a great source of dietary fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and manganese, while pineapple is one of the few vegetables that is also a good source of Vitamin B6. This vegetable combo is very sweet, so you don’t need to add extra sugar to it.
Ginger and pineapple
Ginger is a superfood that is great for digestion, so we recommend adding it to any vegetable side dish that you make.
Red onions and pineapple
Red onions are very healthy due to the presence of nutrients like B vitamins, dietary fiber, Vitamin C, manganese and potassium. Pineapples are also very nutritious, but due to their sweetness, it’s best to pair them with a milder, crunchier vegetable like red onions.
