Ingredients:
- Fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into slices or chunks
- 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil or cooking spray (optional)
- Cinnamon (optional)
- Honey or brown sugar (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 360-375°F (180-190°C).
- Prepare the Pineapple: Cut the fresh pineapple into slices or chunks. If you like, you can brush the pineapple with a little olive oil or use cooking spray to help with browning. This step is optional, but it can add a nice crispy texture.
- Season the Pineapple: If desired, you can sprinkle the pineapple with a pinch of cinnamon or drizzle a bit of honey or sprinkle brown sugar on top for added flavor. The sweetness of pineapple can vary, so adjust the sugar or honey to your preference.
- Air Fry the Pineapple: Place the pineapple pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure not to overcrowd the basket, as this can lead to uneven cooking. You may need to cook the pineapple in batches if you have a smaller air fryer.
- Air Fry: Cook the pineapple for about 6-10 minutes, flipping the pieces once or twice during cooking. Cooking times may vary depending on the size of the pineapple pieces and the specific air fryer model you’re using. Keep an eye on them and remove them when they reach your desired level of browning and caramelization.
- Serve: Once the pineapple is done, remove it from the air fryer and serve it immediately. You can enjoy air-fried pineapple as a healthy snack, side dish, or dessert.
