  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Pineapple

  • 2 heaping cups sliced pineapple (from approx. 1/2 small pineapple)

Coating

  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter or margarine (melted, optional)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Optional Chili Lime Dip

  • 3 tablespoons cashew cream (or vegan mayo)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (approx. half a lime)
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pineapple: Peel, core, and slice your pineapple, ensuring you have approximately 2 heaping cups of slices. Place these slices into a mixing bowl to begin the preparation.
  2. Mix Coating: In a small bowl, combine the melted vegan butter or margarine, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Pour this mixture evenly over the pineapple slices in the mixing bowl, then gently toss to coat each slice thoroughly without breaking them.
  3. Air Fry the Pineapple: Arrange the coated pineapple slices in a single layer inside your air fryer basket. Slight overlapping is acceptable. Set the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and cook for 12 to 15 minutes until the pineapple caramelizes and develops a golden color. Remember to flip the slices halfway through cooking to ensure even caramelization.
  4. Prepare the Optional Dip: While the pineapple is cooking, mix together cashew cream (or vegan mayo), lime juice, and chili powder in a small bowl to create a creamy, tangy, and mildly spicy chili lime dip.
  5. Serve: Remove the pineapple from the air fryer and serve warm or let it cool. Enjoy it as a flavorful side dish or a healthy dessert. If desired, add the chili lime dip on the side for dipping to enhance the flavors.

Notes

  • Make sure to slice the pineapple evenly for consistent cooking.
  • The vegan butter is optional but adds richness and helps with caramelization.
  • You can adjust the cinnamon and chili powder amounts according to taste preference.
  • The pineapple can be served warm straight from the air fryer or chilled as a cold treat.
  • If you don’t have cashew cream, vegan mayo makes a good alternative for the dip.
