Equipment

  • air fryer
  • pastry brush

Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole Pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch rings
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 3 tbsp Light Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 tbsp Honey

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
  • Pat the pineapple rings dry with paper towels. This step is important because removing surface moisture helps the rings caramelize rather than steam in the air fryer.
  • Brush both sides of each pineapple ring generously with the brown sugar butter mixture, making sure every ring is well coated.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F for 3 minutes. Arrange the pineapple rings in a single layer in the basket, working in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
  • Air fry for 5 minutes, then carefully flip each ring and brush with any remaining butter mixture. Cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes until the edges are deeply caramelized and golden.
  • Transfer the pineapple rings to a serving plate and drizzle with honey while still hot. Serve warm on their own, over vanilla ice cream, or alongside grilled meats.
