Air fryer caramelized pineapple makes a sticky-sweet dessert that is perfect for summer, especially when paired with ice cream and lime zest. The air fried pineapple rings are delicious and easy to make!
- Prep Time 10 minutes
- Cook Time 16 minutes
- Total Time 26 minutes
Ingredients
- 5 slices pineapple
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- lime zest optional
Instructions
-
Core your pineapple and slice into rings about ¼ inch thick.
-
Preheat your air fryer at 400 degrees F for 5 minutes.
-
Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
-
Place pineapple slices in your air fryer basket and sprinkle lightly with brown sugar/cinnamon mixture (note: leave enough to sprinkle the other side and you most likely will have some leftover after sprinkling both sides).
-
Cook at 380 degrees F on the first side for 7-8 minutes, then flip.
-
Cook an additional 7-8 minutes.
-
Plate and serve as desired (I love ice cream and lime zest).
Notes
- All air fryers cook differently. Check frequently to see if your pineapples are done yet.
- Make sure to cook the pineapples in a single layer and don’t crowd.
- While it can be tempting to put a lot of brown sugar/cinnamon on the pineapples, pineapples are also naturally sweet. A sprinkling of the mixture works better than putting on too much.
- If possible, try to cut all pineapple slices the same thickness so they cook evenly.
- To make this recipe really easy, buy pre-sliced, pre-cored pineapple. That can be pricier though, so it is more economical to slice a pineapple yourself.
