Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 pineapple, cut into cubes, spears, or rings (about 4 cups of cut pineapple)
- 2 – 4 tablespoons (25 – 50 g) light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prep: Slice, core, and cut the fresh pineapple into slices, spears, chunks, or rings. Make sure to cut the pineapple into even-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for cooking the pineapple.
- Coat Pineapple: Toss the pineapple pieces in a bowl with light brown sugar and ground cinnamon until all pieces are fully coated with the mixture.
- Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer tray or basket with a non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Air Fry: Place the coated pineapple in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 6-8 minutes, then carefully pull out the basket, flip each pineapple piece, and air fry for another 6-8 minutes. Continue until the pineapple is caramelized to your preference, totaling 12-16 minutes.
- Serve: Allow the pineapple to cool slightly until warm. Serve as is or with accompaniments such as ice cream, whipped cream, or as a topping for pancakes.
Notes
- Ensure even-sized pieces for uniform cooking.
- Adjust brown sugar quantity based on your desired sweetness.
- Flipping the pineapple halfway through cooking helps achieve even caramelization.
- Use non-stick spray to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Cool slightly before serving to enhance the flavor and texture.
