Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by cutting off the top and bottom of the pineapple, then stand it upright. Carefully slice away the skin in strips, removing any 'eyes.' Chop it into 1-inch chunks.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the pineapple chunks with either olive oil or coconut oil. Add ground cinnamon, honey or maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently to coat.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 2 minutes to achieve perfect caramelization.
  4. Arrange the pineapple chunks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring space for even cooking.
  5. Cook the pineapple chunks at 400°F (200°C) for 8 to 10 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through for even cooking.
  6. Carefully remove the caramelized pineapple chunks and enjoy immediately as a snack or dessert.
