Ingredients

  • 1 ripe pineapple cored and cut into chunks or slices
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
  • vanilla ice cream for serving optional

Instructions

  • Place the prepared pineapple in a large bowl.
  • Pour the melted coconut oil, maple syrup and spices into the bowl then toss until well combined.
  • Once all the pineapple pieces are coated, transfer to an air fryer basket or tray arranging in a single layer so the pieces are not touching or overlapping. Work in batches if necessary.
  • Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes until starting to caramelize around the edges.
  • Remove from the air fryer, serve immediately with a dusting of extra cinnamon and top with vanilla ice cream if desired.
