Step-by-Step Instructions

Slice a fresh pineapple into rings or chunks, removing the tough core for even cooking. Place in a mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and ground cinnamon, then toss the pineapple in this mixture for an even coating.
Melt butter or coconut oil and drizzle over the coated pineapple, stirring gently to combine.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 to 5 minutes.
Place the coated pineapple in the air fryer basket and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking halfway through.
Let the caramelized pineapple cool slightly before garnishing with mint or serving with whipped cream or yogurt.
