Creating Easy Air Fryer Caramelized Pineapple is a breezy process. Follow these steps:
1. Prepare Pineapple: Cut the pineapple into rings or bite-sized pieces based on your preference.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well blended.
3. Coat Pineapple: Add the pineapple pieces to the bowl and gently toss until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
4. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
5. Arrange Pineapple: Place the coated pineapple pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Ensure there’s some space between each piece for adequate airflow.
6. Air Fry: Cook for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even cooking. The pineapple should be golden and caramelized.
7. Check for Doneness: Monitor closely in the last few minutes to ensure it doesn’t burn. The pineapple is ready when it’s tender and nicely browned.
8. Serve: Carefully remove the pineapple from the air fryer and serve warm.
These straightforward steps will yield an amazing dessert that showcases the natural sweetness of pineapple in a new, exciting way!
