Main Ingredients

  • 1 fresh pineapple, peeled and sliced into thin rings or chunks
  • Optional seasonings: olive oil, cinnamon, brown sugar, nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pineapple: Peel the pineapple completely, removing the tough skin and eyes. Slice into thin rings or chunks depending on your preference, and trim any fibrous parts for a better texture. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture to speed up dehydration.
  2. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 135°F (57°C) using the dehydrate setting if available. This low temperature helps preserve the pineapple’s natural sweetness and nutrients.
  3. Arrange Pineapple Slices: Place the pineapple slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Do not overlap to ensure even airflow and consistent drying.
  4. Dehydrate the Pineapple: Air fry the pineapple slices for 3 to 4 hours. Check halfway through to shake or rearrange the slices for even drying. Continue until the slices are chewy yet flexible.
  5. Cool and Store: Once dehydrated, let the pineapple cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness for up to 6 months.
  6. Optional Flavoring: Before dehydrating, toss slices lightly with olive oil and your choice of seasonings like cinnamon, brown sugar, or nutmeg for a flavored snack.

Notes

  • Use fresh pineapple for best results; canned pineapple can be used if well drained and dried.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even drying.
  • Check regularly to avoid over-dehydrating which makes the pineapple too brittle.
  • Store dehydrated pineapple in airtight containers away from moisture.
  • Dehydrated pineapple can be rehydrated in water or used as-is in snacks, trail mixes, or yogurt parfaits.
  • Adjust seasoning quantities to taste if adding spices or sweeteners before dehydration.
