Total Time: 15-17 minutes
Recipe Intensity: Easy
Ingredients:
- 1 fresh pineapple
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- Cooking spray or oil spray (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Peel the pineapple and remove the core. Slice the pineapple into rings or chunks, depending on your preference.
- If desired, drizzle the pineapple slices or chunks with honey or maple syrup for added sweetness.
- Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray or oil spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the pineapple slices or chunks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if needed.
- Air fry the pineapple at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking, until the pineapple is golden brown and caramelized on the outside.
- Once done, carefully remove the caramelized pineapple from the air fryer and transfer it to a serving dish.
- Serve the air fryer pineapple hot as a delicious and healthy dessert or snack.
Note: Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of your pineapple slices or chunks and the efficiency of your air fryer. Keep an eye on the pineapple towards the end of cooking to prevent over-browning.
You can enjoy air fryer pineapple on its own, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or as a topping for yogurt or pancakes. It’s a versatile and flavorful treat!
