Ingredients
Scale
- 1 fresh pineapple
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, light brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated to create a flavorful spread.
- Peel, core, and cut the pineapple into 8 slices. For smaller portions, you can cut each slice in half if desired.
- Spray the air fryer basket lightly with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking during cooking.
- Using a pastry brush, evenly brush the butter, sugar, and cinnamon mixture onto all sides of each pineapple slice, ensuring they are well coated for maximum flavor and caramelization.
- Place the coated pineapple slices into the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not touch to allow proper air circulation and even cooking.
- Cook the pineapple at 380°F (193°C) for 15 minutes. Flip the slices once halfway through the cooking time to ensure even caramelization on both sides.
- Once cooked, serve the pineapple warm by itself or paired with ice cream or oatmeal for a delightful dessert or breakfast treat.
