Pineapple Fritter Rings are a delicious treat made with floured pineapple slices, dipped in a cinnamon-flavored batter, and fried in hot oil until golden brown. Vegan and super quick, they'll wow all your guests.
What Can You Eat With Pineapple Fritters?
Crispy on the outside, soft and succulent on the inside, they are excellent as a dessert at the end of a meal, but they will also be perfect for a snack, dusted with icing sugar or accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or, for an even more exotic flavor, coconut ice cream.
Can You Make Pineapple Fritter Rings in An Air Fryer?
Yes, but you need to make a few adjustments! The key is to coat the pineapple well, lightly spray or brush the batter with oil, and cook them in a single layer. Air-fry at 375°F (190°C) for about 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and set.

Heat plenty of peanut oil in a large pan and, when it is very hot (around 338-347°F/170-175°C) fry two or three donuts at a time, so as not to lower the temperature and obtain fragrant and dry fried food.

Cooking Tips
- For a gluten-free version, replace the wheat flour with rice flour, adding the water little by little to obtain a thick, smooth, lump-free dough.
- If you like, you can add your favorite spices: besides cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla, cloves, and a pinch of nutmeg are all great. You can also enrich the batter with toasted flaked almonds for a super crunchy touch.
