Description

Delight in the tropical sweetness of air-fried pineapple, perfectly caramelized with a touch of honey, cinnamon, and lemon. This quick and easy recipe uses an air fryer to create a warm, golden-brown dessert or snack that’s bursting with flavor and can be enjoyed by the whole family.

Ingredients

Fresh Pineapple

  • 1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and sliced

Coating Mixture

  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to ensure an even cooking temperature for perfectly caramelized pineapple slices.
  2. Prepare Pineapple: Peel the pineapple, core it carefully, and slice it into rings or wedges, depending on your preference.
  3. Make Honey Mixture: In a small bowl, combine honey or maple syrup with ground cinnamon and lemon juice if using; this mixture adds sweetness and a slight tang which enhances the pineapple’s flavor.
  4. Coat Pineapple Slices: Lightly brush or toss the pineapple slices with the honey-cinnamon-lemon mixture, ensuring an even coating for caramelization.
  5. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the coated pineapple slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket so they cook evenly without overlapping.
  6. Air Fry the Pineapple: Cook the slices for about 10-12 minutes at 375°F (190°C), flipping them halfway through to achieve an even golden-brown caramelization on both sides.
  7. Serve Warm: Once caramelized and tender, remove the pineapple slices from the air fryer and serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use a ripe pineapple for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • The cinnamon and lemon juice are optional but provide a lovely balance of spice and acidity.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking.
  • Serve as a warm dessert on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat gently before eating.
