Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole Fresh Pineapple Choose ripe, sweet pineapple for the best flavor and texture.
  • 1 tablespoon Oil (e.g., coconut or avocado) Helps caramelize the pineapple; spray oil can cut down on fat if desired.
Optional Spice
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder or Cayenne Adds a spicy kick that beautifully contrasts the sweetness of the pineapple.
For Serving
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Ice Cream or Whipped Cream Offers a creamy indulgence; Greek yogurt can be a lighter substitute.

Equipment

  • Air fryer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by selecting a ripe, fresh pineapple. Cut it into bite-sized chunks, ensuring that they are even in size for uniform cooking. Pat the pineapple chunks dry with a paper towel.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the pineapple chunks with a drizzle of your chosen oil. Add chili powder or cayenne for a touch of heat.
  3. Set your air fryer to preheat at 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
  4. Carefully place the seasoned pineapple chunks in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are arranged in a single layer.
  5. Air fry the pineapple chunks for approximately 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  6. Remove the basket from the air fryer and let the pineapple chunks cool slightly. Serve warm, topped with ice cream or yogurt.
