Description
Transform fresh pineapple into warm, juicy chunks effortlessly with an air fryer. A healthy and delicious treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium fresh pineapple (about 3 cups chunks)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prep the pineapple: Start by cutting off both the top and bottom of the pineapple. Next, carefully slice off the skin and any ‘eyes’ you encounter. Cube the flesh into 1-inch chunks.
- Toss with flavor: Place the pineapple chunks in a bowl and drizzle with either olive or coconut oil. If you’re feeling adventurous, sprinkle in the ground cinnamon and add honey or maple syrup to enhance the sweetness. Toss well to coat everything evenly.
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to heat up while you prep the pineapple.
- Air fry: Once heated, spread the pineapple chunks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking or stirring halfway through for even cooking.
- Serve warm: Enjoy the deliciously caramelized pineapple chunks on their own or with various toppings!
Notes
For a tropical twist, add shredded coconut and a squeeze of lime juice while mixing the pineapple chunks.
