Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the pineapple: Cut fresh pineapple into bite-sized chunks, ensuring they are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
- Mix with sugar and cinnamon: In a mixing bowl, toss the pineapple chunks with brown sugar and ground cinnamon until all pieces are well coated.
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for about 3 minutes.
- Air fry the pineapple: Place the coated pineapple chunks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even caramelization.
- Check and serve: Once the pineapple is golden and caramelized with a slightly crispy edge, remove from the air fryer. Serve warm as a sweet snack or dessert topping.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of brown sugar depending on your preferred sweetness level.
- For added depth, sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg or ginger along with the cinnamon.
- Serve air fried pineapple with ice cream, yogurt, or as a topping for pancakes or waffles.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
