Try out this Caramelized Pineapple in the Fritaire airfryer

The Fritaire air fryer makes caramelizing pineapple super easy. When you use the rotisserie feature of this eco-friendly air fryer, there is no need to flip over pineapple slices, like one has to do in other brands of air fryers. The rotisserie bracket slowly turns the whole fresh pineapple, so it gets evenly cooked.

Love my new Bamboozle Bowls!

This is a 7-piece bowl set that is perfect for all your recipe prep. The Bamboozle bowls are made of biodegradable bamboo fiber and come in multiple sizes. The bowls range from 4 quarts in size to .25 quarts. The larger bowls are perfect for baking and the smaller bowls are perfect for mixing up glazes. I just love the multiple colors.

What if my air fryer does not have a rotisserie feature?

If your air fryer does not have a rotisserie feature, you can still make this recipe with a few simple changes. After preparing the pineapple, slice it into 1-inch thick slices. You will then toss the pineapple in the sweet glaze. Then place the glaze-coated slices in the air fryer basket, using a disposable air fryer liner for easier cleanup. Cook the pineapples in a single layer.

The pineapple may cook faster using this method, so check the pineapple after 15 minutes. The grilled pineapple is done when caramelized with slightly browned edges.

Storage Tips

If there is any leftover pineapple, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I don't recommend freezing the caramelized pineapple as it will change the texture and taste of the fruit.

To reheat coof for 2 minutes in the air fryer at 350 F until warm. You can also reheat these in the microwave for 15 seconds at a time until warm. The pineapple can also be enjoyed cold.

This grilled caramelized pineapple is simply delicious on its own but it can also be enjoyed in many other ways.
