Pineapple in Air Fryer

The air fryer is a super versatile appliance and it is perfect for cooking up golden brown, sweet pineapple. You can add seasonings if you prefer, but it tastes so good on its own. You’ll love this pineapple for topping everything from main dishes to desserts.

It also makes a healthy and filling snack. Cooking up pineapple adds a flavorful twist to the fruit. Air Fryer Pineapple tastes slightly sweet and deliciously warm. We love it on yogurt parfaits, ice cream, or even cereal.
