Tips and Tricks
1. Remove the outer skin of the pineapple and cut into rings. You can remove the core but I leave it on.
2. I used pepper and honey to brush on the pineapple. If you want a smoky flavor, you can brush with BBQ sauce.
3. For dairy free or vegans, use brown sugar or maple syrup in place of honey.
4. Air fry till the pineapple starts to turn brown on the edges. I don’t like it to be too browned.
5. Take out and enjoy as a snack.

Remove the outer skin of the pineapple and cut into ½ inch thick rounds. You can core the pineapple using a corer and cut it into rings but I leave it as it is.
Now further halve it.
Add 2 tbsp. honey or maple syrup or brown sugar and 1 tsp. ground pepper or chilli flakes along with ½ tsp. ground cinnamon.
Preheat air fryer at 200C or 390F for 4 minutes. Lay the slices in air fryer basket.
I used a parchment paper to line the basket. It makes clean up easier.
Air fry pineapple slices at 200C or 390F for about 8-10 minutes.
It will begin to brown on the edges. I don’t flip the slices but you can flip them and cook for a couple of minutes more for even colour.

Or you can add it to salads, tacos or Asian dishes. It is so delicious. Perfect as a sweet treat too. Your kids will love them.
