Air Fryer Honey BBQ Pineapple: A Sweet and Savory Summer Delight!

This sweet and savory treat combines juicy pineapple with a tangy honey BBQ glaze, creating a mouthwatering dish perfect for any occasion. The air fryer gives it a caramelized finish with minimal effort!

Ingredients:

  • 1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into rings or chunks
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce (your choice of flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.

Prepare the Pineapple: Slice your pineapple into rings or chunks, depending on your preference. Make sure the pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.

Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, BBQ sauce, olive oil, and cinnamon (if using). This will create a flavorful glaze for the pineapple.

Coat the Pineapple: Brush or drizzle the honey BBQ glaze over each piece of pineapple, making sure it’s evenly coated.

Arrange in the Air Fryer Basket: Place the glazed pineapple in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow even cooking.

Cook the Pineapple: Air fry the pineapple at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the pineapple is tender and caramelized.

Serve and Enjoy: Remove the pineapple from the air fryer, and serve warm. Enjoy as a side dish or dessert!

Feel free to drizzle extra honey or BBQ sauce on top for added flavor!
