# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 medium fresh pineapple (approximately 3 cups of 1-inch chunks)
02 -
1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil
03 -
0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
04 -
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
05 -
Pinch of salt
# Directions:
01 -
Remove the top and bottom of the pineapple, then stand it upright. Slice away the skin in strips and remove the eyes with a paring knife. Cut the pineapple into 1-inch chunks.
02 -
In a mixing bowl, combine pineapple chunks with olive oil or coconut oil, ground cinnamon, honey or maple syrup, and pinch of salt. Toss gently until pieces are coated evenly.
03 -
Set air fryer to 400°F and preheat for 2 minutes.
04 -
Arrange pineapple chunks in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking or stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Pineapple should develop golden brown edges and remain juicy at the center.
05 -
Carefully transfer the pineapple to a serving platter. Serve warm as is, or pair with vanilla ice cream if desired.
# Notes:

For even caramelization, shake the air fryer basket halfway through the cooking time.
