Why this recipe works

Toast fruit first, then add honey

The 400 g refers to the edible prepared pulp. Large pieces can be turned more easily than thin, fast drying slices. Fresh pineapple is used, not canned product in syrup. The amount is two fruit desserts with 50 g of yogurt each. Honey provides a thin glaze and should not cover the fruit in a thick layer.

Recipe

Air fryer pineapple with cinnamon

Fresh pineapple pieces get roasted edges. Little honey is added in the last few minutes, natural yoghurt is served cold.

Ingredients

2 servings

Method

  1. 1

    Prepare the fruit

    Peel pineapple, remove eyes and hard core. Cut 400 g of usable pulp into pieces of about 2 to 3 cm and pat dry. Mix with oil and cinnamon.

  2. 2

    Cook first without honey

    If provided, preheat for 3 minutes to 180 °C. Add the fruit loosely in one layer to the basket and cook for about 11 minutes at 180 °C. Mix in after 6 minutes. With very small basket, plan separate batches.

  3. 3

    Glaze briefly

    Pull out the basket, spread honey on the fruit pieces and mix carefully. Cook for another 3 minutes at 180 °C. The edges must be slightly browning; dark sticky areas must not be burned any further.

  4. 4

    Serve with yogurt

    Carefully spread the fruit over two bowls. Add 50 g of cold natural yoghurt each. Allow to cool a bit before eating, as the fruit juice inside can be very hot.

Kitchen know-how

Tips for Air fryer pineapple with cinnamon

Weigh only the edible fruit

Skin and hard core are not cooked. Therefore, more than 400 g of whole pineapple and weigh the prepared pulp.

Do not pour honey into an empty basket

The small quantity should adhere to the fruit pieces. On hot, empty metal, it would quickly get dark.

Variations

How to adapt this recipe

Leave out the honey in very sweet ripe fruit and check the browning after the first phase. Sweetness and nutritional values change.

Replace natural yoghurt with an unsweetened vegetable coconut alternative. For a vegan version, additionally leave out the honey or replace it appropriately.
