Satisfy your sweet tooth with this delectable air fryer pineapple treat. With just a handful of ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can whip up a healthier dessert that’s bursting with flavor.

Ingredients Needed:

Fresh Pineapple: Opt for ripe, juicy pineapple, or use canned pineapple if it’s more convenient. Ensure the pieces are uniform in size for even cooking.

Unsalted Butter (Melted): We’ll need this to add a rich, buttery flavor to our pineapple.

Brown Sugar: The key to sweetness and creating that irresistible caramelization.

Cinnamon: Adds warmth and depth to the flavor profile.

How to make Air Fryer Pineapple:

Prep the Pineapple: Peel, core, and slice the pineapple into rings about 1/4-inch thick. Then, cut each ring into quarters.

Toss with Flavor: In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon. Pour this delightful mixture over the pineapple and gently toss until all pieces are evenly coated.

Air Fryer Setup: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for optimal results. If you haven’t already invested in an air fryer, this recipe might just convince you to get one!

Air Fry Away: Arrange the pineapple pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Cook to Perfection: Air fry the pineapple for 12-15 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through. Keep an eye on them until they achieve a beautiful caramelized exterior.

Tips for Success:

Uniformity is Key: Cut your pineapple into pieces of equal size to ensure they cook evenly.

Preheat for Success: Just like with an oven, preheating your air fryer is essential for optimal cooking results.

Avoid Overcrowding: Give your pineapple slices some breathing room in the air fryer basket to allow for proper air circulation.

Handle with Care: Place the pineapple slices into the basket gently to prevent breakage and excess liquid from dripping.

Storing Info:

If you happen to have any leftover air-fried pineapple (which is rare!), allow it to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for 2-3 days, though it’s so tasty, it might not last that long!
