Ingredients
Scale
- One medium-sized fresh pineapple
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Start by peeling and slicing the pineapple. Aim for thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick, so they crisp up nicely in the air fryer.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until combined.
- Place your pineapple slices in a large bowl. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the pineapple and toss gently to coat each slice evenly.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. This step ensures that the chips start cooking immediately when you place them inside.
- Lay the coated pineapple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow air circulation for even cooking.
- Cook the pineapple slices for about 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t burn. The chips should be golden and crispy.
- Once done, remove the pineapple chips from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack. They will continue to crisp up as they cool. Enjoy them as a snack or a sweet topping for yogurt or salads!

Keywords: The key to crispy chips is the thickness of the slices. Aim for uniform thickness for best results. Feel free to add a dash of vanilla extract or even a sprinkle of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
