Notes
Optional DipIf making the chili lime dip, combine the 3 ingredients in a small bowl while your pineapple is cooking.NotesDon’t dump the pineapple slices into your fryer basket. Instead, spoon them in one at a time to avoid breaking them, and prevent excess liquid from dripping down below your basket and smoking.Leftovers keep refrigerated in a sealed container for 2-3 days.NutritionCalories: 90kcal | Carbohydrates: 18g | Protein: 1g | Fat: 2g | Sodium: 24mg | Potassium: 116mg | Fiber: 1g | Sugar: 14g | Vitamin A: 183IU | Vitamin C: 39mg | Calcium: 27mg | Iron: 1mg
