Pineapple Rings
  • 1 fresh pineapple peeled, cored, sliced into rings
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs large

Method
 

  1. Peel, core, and slice pineapple into rings. Pat completely dry with paper towels.
  2. Prepare three bowls: flour with cinnamon and salt; eggs with vanilla; coconut mixed with panko and sugar.
  3. Dip each pineapple ring into flour, then egg, then coconut mixture, pressing to coat well.
  4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat or preheat air fryer/oven.
  5. Fry rings 2–3 minutes per side until golden, or bake at 400°F for 15–18 minutes flipping once.

  7. Serve warm with honey, yogurt, or chocolate drizzle.
