Air fryer pineapple

Air fryer pineapple is a quick and easy snack or dessert that brings out the natural sweetness and juiciness of the fruit. Here’s a simple recipe for air fryer pineapple:

Ingredients:

• 1 medium-sized pineapple
• Optional: Cinnamon, honey, or mint for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Pineapple:
   • Peel the pineapple and remove the core. Cut the pineapple into bite-sized pieces or slices.
3. Pat Dry (Optional):
   • Pat the pineapple pieces dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This step is optional but can help with achieving a crispier texture.
4. Air Fry the Pineapple:
   • Place the pineapple pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
5. Air Fry:
   • Air fry the pineapple at 400°F (200°C) for 6-8 minutes. Shake or flip the pineapple pieces halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness.
6. Check for Doneness:
   • Keep an eye on the pineapple to prevent it from burning. The edges should be golden brown, and the pineapple should be tender and caramelized.
7. Garnish (Optional):
   • If desired, sprinkle the air-fried pineapple with a bit of cinnamon, drizzle with honey, or garnish with fresh mint.
8. Serve:
   • Transfer the air-fried pineapple to a serving plate and enjoy it warm.
