Air Fryer Pineapple

This Air Fryer Pineapple recipe caramelizes pineapple slices coated with butter, maple syrup, and cinnamon, resulting in tender, flavorful fruit with a warm, spiced finish. The pineapple can be served warm or cold as a side dish or dessert, and an optional chili lime dip offers a creamy, tangy contrast with a mild heat.

Ingredients

  • 2 heaping cups pineapple from approx. ½ small pineapple, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted, optional, vegan; or margarine
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Optional Chili Lime Dip
  • 3 tablespoons cashew cream or vegan mayo
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice approx. half a lime
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel, core and slice your pineapple and place about 2 heaping cups worth in a mixing bowl.
  2. Combine the melted butter, maple syrup and cinnamon in a small bowl, then pour it over your pineapple slices. Mix gently to even coat the slices.
  3. Then place them in a single layer (slightly overlapping is fine) in your fryer basket and air fry at 380 degrees F for 12-15 minutes, or until caramelized. Flip the pineapple once at the halfway point.
  4. Enjoy warm or cold, as a side dish or dessert.
Optional Dip
  1. If making the chili lime dip, combine the 3 ingredients in a small bowl while your pineapple is cooking.

Notes

  • Add pineapple slices individually to the air fryer basket to avoid breaking and reduce dripping that can cause smoking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 to 3 days.
