Question 1

How do I choose the best ripe pineapple?

Accepted Answer

One easy way to determine if a pineapple is fresh is to squeeze it. Fresh pineapple has a firm outer skin but will give just a little when you squeeze it. Those you cannot squeeze are likely not ripe. Another sign of a ripe pineapple is if it smells sweet at the bottom of the fruit. No scent means it may not be ripe and a bad odor means it is probably overripe.

Question 2

Is it healthier to air fry, stir fry, or grill this pineapple dish?

Accepted Answer

Since you use the same ingredients for grilling and air frying and nothing is added, they are both healthy ways to enjoy this delicious fruit. Frying your pineapple in butter in a large skillet will add more fat and calories though. Use coconut oil instead for a healthier choice. For fewer carbs, you can substitute the brown sugar with honey or sugar substitute.

Question 3

Can this be prepared ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it would be even more sweet and delicious if you marinate the pineapple in the brown sugar and cinnamon overnight in the refrigerator. Then, when you are ready to make it, all you have to do is fry it in the large skillet with butter until it is soft.
