Ingredients
- 3 slices bacon
- 3 slices pineapple rings drained
- ½ teaspoon BBQ seasoning
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pre-heat Air Fryer at 370F (188C). Set at 10 minutes.
- Pat dry pineapple rings. Cut each pineapple ring into four bite-sized pieces evenly. Making 12 pineapple pieces total.
- Cut bacon in half, crosswise. Then cut each bacon in half, lengthwise. Making 12 thin bacon strips. (This way, both sides of the pineapples will be shown.)
- Wrap each pineapple with bacon. Wrapping at the center so each side of the pineapple shows. Secure with toothpicks.
- Gently transfer each bacon-wrapped pineapple bites onto the Air Fryer tray. Season both sides with ground black pepper and BBQ seasoning.
- Slowly insert Air Fryer tray into the middle cooking chamber, near the rotisserie catch.
- Turn food half-way through. No need to wait for the “turn food” reminder provided by the Air Fryer. See tips or notes when turning food.
- Wait for the timer to end and the Air Fryer to stop before opening the oven door or once bacon-wrapped pineapple bites are fully cooked and golden in color, press “cancel” from the Air Fryer settings.
Notes
This Air Fryer recipe uses an Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer Oven. Not all Air Fryers cook the same way. It’s best to keep watch during your initial tests after purchasing.
TIPS:
There are two ways to turn the 12 pieces of bacon-wrapped pineapple bites. One, remove the Air Fryer tray and turn each pineapple. Second, turn food while the Air Fryer tray is inserted in the cooking chamber. For the second option, use longer kitchen tongs and be careful not to touch any part of the hot cooking chamber.
Soak toothpicks in cold water at least 15 minutes. Thoroughly dry with paper towel before using.
I used canned pineapple rings.
