Step-by-Step Instructions for Air Fryer Pineapple
  1. Start by peeling, coring, and cutting the fresh pineapple into 1/2-inch rings or 1-inch chunks. Pat the pieces dry with a paper towel.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine melted coconut oil, packed light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until a smooth glaze forms.
  3. Gently toss the prepared pineapple pieces in the glaze until coated.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Arrange the glazed pineapple pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  6. Air fry the pineapple at 380°F (190°C) for 10-14 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  7. Once cooked, remove from the basket and serve warm with optional toppings like vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt.
