Air Fryer Pineapple Skewers
Spiced pineapple cubes air fried until golden with charred edges, no deep frying needed. Ready in just 22 minutes with barely any oil.
Ingredients
- 2 cups pineapple (cut into cubes)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cumin powder
- ⅛ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon herbs
- 1 tablespoon oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Remove the skin, and cut it into medium-size cubes. Cutting a pineapple is a little bit tricky, please use a sharp knife.
- In a mixing bowl, add the pineapple cubes, black pepper, cumin powder, turmeric powder, paprika, herbs, salt, and oil. Mix everything well so the masala coats each piece of pineapple evenly.
- Thread the seasoned pineapple cubes onto skewers, one piece at a time.
- Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (360°F) for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Arrange the pineapple skewers in the preheated air fryer basket, making sure they're not stacked on top of each other so they cook evenly.
- Air fry at 180°C (360°F) for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping the skewers once halfway through so both sides roast well.
- Once the pineapple turns a light golden color with slightly charred edges, take the skewers out and serve hot.
Notes
- Keep skewers in a single layer so they char instead of steam.
- Always preheat the air fryer before adding the skewers.
- Flip halfway through for even color on both sides.
- Cut pineapple cubes a similar size so they cook at the same rate.
- Check at the 10 minute mark since air fryers can run differently.
