  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

Notes

Nutrition facts are approximate and for reference only., Use ripe pineapple that is firm with a slight give when pressed, mostly golden yellow skin, and fresh green crown leaves for best results., Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure pineapple crisps properly., You can substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar or maple syrup., Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; do not freeze., Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 350°F for 2–4 minutes to restore crispness.
