½ teaspoon cinnamon (1g)
½ teaspoon nutmeg (1g)
½ teaspoon paprika (1g)
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (2g) dried, optional
⅛ teaspoon scotch bonnet pepper powder (0.62g)(or use ½ teaspoon of hot sauce)
6 tablespoon lime juice (90g)
1 20z pineapple slices (canned and juice drained)

Instructions

In a large bowl place the raw cane sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, paprika, red pepper flakes and scotch bonnet pepper powder then whisk to combine.
Squeeze in the lime juice and whisk again to create a wet rub.
Carefully place the pineapple slices in the bowl.
Tilt the bowl to the side and use a spoon to baste the pineapple slices several times.
Refrigerate the bowl of pineapple for up to 30 minutes, occasionally basting the pineapple throughout the given time.
Preheat the air fryer
Place the pineapple rings in the air fryer basket (you may need to do this in batches depending on the capacity of your unit) and reserve the liquid that is in the bowl.
Air fry @ 190C/375F for 12-15 minutes.
Baste the pineapple rings frequently and turn them over half way through.

Notes

Depending on the capacity of your air fryer basket you may need to cook them in batches.
Any leftover pineapple should be refrigerated - wrapped tightly or in an air tight container and consumed within 2 days.
To re-heat the pineapple just place in the air fryer basket for a few minutes.
Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket.
Keep in mind that the air fryer time is an estimate and may vary depending on your unit.
