Description
Easy Air Fryer Caramelized Pineapple is a quick, healthy dessert made with just a few simple ingredients. Pineapple slices are air fried to perfection, creating a golden, caramelized exterior while keeping the fruit juicy and sweet inside.
Ingredients
1 ripe pineapple
Optional: ground cinnamon, honey, or brown sugar for extra flavor
Instructions
- Prepare the pineapple: Cut off the crown and base, then slice off the skin and remove the brown ‘eyes.’ Slice the pineapple into rings or chunks.
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Add flavor: Optionally sprinkle pineapple with ground cinnamon, drizzle with honey, or sprinkle with brown sugar.
- Air fry: Place the pineapple slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 6-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and caramelized.
- Serve: Allow the caramelized pineapple to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve as-is or with ice cream, yogurt, pancakes, or oatmeal.
Notes
For even caramelization, slice the pineapple into uniform pieces.
Thicker slices may require additional cooking time.
For canned pineapple, drain it well to avoid excess moisture.
