Description
This Air Fryer Pineapple recipe brings tropical sweetness to life with juicy pineapple wedges caramelized in the air fryer, mimicking the smoky, grilled flavor of Brazilian-style pineapple without needing an outdoor grill.
Ingredients
- Fresh pineapple, cubed or cut into wedges
- Light brown sugar
- Ground cinnamon
- Nutmeg
- Melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, toss pineapple pieces with melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well coated.
- Arrange pineapple in a single layer in the basket—avoid crowding.
- Cook for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and lightly charred.
- Serve immediately while warm—alone, with ice cream, or alongside savory dishes.
Notes
- Swap brown sugar for maple syrup or honey for a different sweetness profile.
- Skip butter or use coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
- Add a pinch of cayenne or chili powder for a spicy-sweet kick.
- Try cubed, sliced, or ring-shaped pineapple; cook times may vary slightly.
