Deliciously caramelized air fryer pineapple rings coated with a blend of brown sugar, butter, and warm spices for a quick and easy tropical dessert or side dish.

  • Total Time: 12 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 8 slices pineapple (about one pound)
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking the pineapple evenly.
  2. Prepare the Pineapple Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the pineapple slices with brown sugar, unsalted butter, cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cardamom. Toss gently to coat the pineapple evenly with the mixture.
  3. Air Fry the Pineapple: Arrange the coated pineapple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they do not overlap to allow even cooking. Air fry the pineapple slices at 375°F for 7 minutes until they are caramelized and golden.
  4. Serve: Remove the pineapple slices from the air fryer once cooked and serve them immediately for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy as a sweet snack or dessert.

Notes

  • Use fresh pineapple slices for the best flavor and texture.
  • You can adjust the amount of brown sugar for sweetness preference or substitute with coconut sugar for a healthier option.
  • Monitor the pineapple closely during air frying to prevent burning, as sugar can caramelize quickly.
  • This recipe serves 8; scale ingredients accordingly for different serving sizes.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or yogurt for an enhanced dessert experience.
