Ingredients
  

Pineapple Ingredients
  • 1 medium fresh Pineapple Choose a pineapple that’s slightly firm with a sweet aroma.
  • 1 tbsp Honey or maple syrup For a vegan option, use maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • 1/2 tsp ground Cinnamon
  • 1 pinch Salt Avoid adding too much as it can overpower sweetness.
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil or coconut oil

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel, core, and cut the pineapple into even bite-sized chunks.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the pineapple chunks with honey (or maple syrup), ground cinnamon, salt, and oil until well coated.
Cooking
  1. Place the coated pineapple chunks in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  2. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes until caramelized and golden-brown, shaking the basket halfway through.
  3. Remove from the air fryer and serve warm.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze for two months. Reheat in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes.
