Description

Bacon Wrapped Pineapple in the Air Fryer is sweet, salty, and is a unique and tasty appetizer for parties and events. Fresh pineapple wrapped in irresistible bacon and air fried to perfection.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound bacon, sliced in half
  • 1 pineapple, cut into chunks
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoons fresh ginger
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce

Instructions

  1. Start by cutting your bacon in half so it fits in the Air Fryer Basket. Set the temperature to 390 degrees F, air fryer setting, and cook for 5 minutes.
  2. While the bacon is cooking, mix the ketchup, honey, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, ginger, and Sriracha sauce in a small bowl. Transfer to a small saucepan, and simmer, until thickened (about 8 to 10 minutes)
  3. Then roll your bacon around the pineapple chunk, use a toothpick to secure them together. Brush with your sauce, air fry for another 3 to 5 minutes, until the bacon is crispy!
  4. Plate, serve, and enjoy!

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Toothpicks

Notes

    • Flexible recipe. You can use either fresh or canned pineapples.
    • Cut your bacon so that it fits flat in the air fryer.
    • Prep these ahead of time, then reheat them right before your guests arrive.
    • Skip preheating. You do not need to preheat your air fryer for this recipe.
    • Don’t add too much to your basket. For best results, do not crowd your air fryer basket. Otherwise, your bacon wrapped pineapple bites won’t crisp up correctly!
    • Serve hot or cold. This recipe is delicious either way, so serve it however is convenient for you!
    • Adjust time. If you use a thicker cut of bacon, you may need to adjust the cooking time.
  • Soak your toothpicks. To ensure your toothpicks don’t burn in the air fryer, I suggest soaking them in water for 10-15 minutes before using.
