INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare the bacon
- Cut bacon in thirds crosswise and set aside
Prepare pineapple
- Toss pineapple chunks in 2 tablespoons of brown sugar if using. If not using brown sugar, move to bacon wrapping.
Assemble it all
- Wrap each pineapple chunk with bacon and secure seam with tooth picks or cocktail sticks.
- Repeat process till all the pineapples have been wrapped.
- Roll wrapped pineapples in the rest of the brown sugar if using.
Air fry
- Place bacon wrapped pineapples in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket
- Set temperature to 400°F / 200°C and bake for 10 to 12 mins flipping half way through. Remove and cook subsequent batches.
NOTES
- If using canned pineapple, buy the rings and cut it into thirds.
- Use cold bacon. It’s easier to cut cold bacon without stretching and distorting the shape.
- No need to preheat the air fryer. However start checking the second batch at 10 mins if using a Ninja air fryer
- Do not overcrowd your basket. Cook in batches if needed. I used a 5.8qt air fryer 12 fits in mine at a time. Put whatever amount that will fit in yours without overcrowding the basket.
