Air Fryer Pineapple Rings is made with 1 fresh pineapple, melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon; air fry at 400°F for 12 minutes to serve 4. 150 calories per serving.
Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Peel and core the pineapple, then slice into ½-inch thick rings and pat dry with paper towels.
- 2
Brush both sides of each ring with melted butter.
- 3
Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt, then press the mixture onto both sides of each ring.
- 4
Air fry at 400°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until deeply caramelized and golden.
- 5
Serve warm topped with whipped cream or ice cream and a sprinkle of toasted coconut.
Tip: Patting the pineapple rings dry before coating is essential — excess moisture prevents proper caramelization. Fresh pineapple works much better than canned.
