3 tbsp brown sugar

½ tsp cinnamon

pinch of salt

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.
