Servings: 4 servings
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.
