12 bacon slices
24 pineapple chunks
½ Cup brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground Black pepper
Directions
- Begin by slicing the bacon by half lengthwise, then cut it in half.
- Take a pineapple chunk, wrap it in bacon, and insert a toothpick through the center to hold it together.
- Roll in a mixture of black pepper and brown sugar.
- Cook at 390 degrees F for 5 minutes, flip it over and cook for 5 more minutes
Cooking Tips
- Cut pineapple in equal sizes so that they cook uniformly.
- Don’t stack these on top of each other in the air fryer basket.
- Don’t forget to flip them halfway through cooking.
- Sprinkle some brown sugar on the wrapped pineapples in the basket for added sweetness.
- For added freshness and flavor sprinkle chopped cilantro on the top while serving.
Brown sugar adds more caramelization to it. You can also add cinnamon for a great flavor. You can also use canned pineapple for this, it saves a lot of time. But if you like fresh pineapples you can use them as they are available all year round. This recipe is my personal favorite as I love pineapples and any dish made from them.
