Common Questions

If you need help with cutting your whole pineapple be sure to check out my tutorial on How to Cut Pineapple .

I recommend using fresh pineapple for the best texture and flavor, but you can use canned pineapple rings or chunks in a pinch. Just make sure to drain them well before brushing with the cinnamon mixture.

You can use any oil of choice or even melted butter to cook your Air Fryer Pineapple.

Any air fryer will work, but make sure you check your settings, as some need to be preheated.

You can bake the pineapple in the oven at 425F (215C) for about 10-15 minutes, or grill it on the barbecue. Keep an eye on it and check frequently until it’s caramelized.
