Can I use canned pineapple?

Yes, but fresh is better. Canned pineapple tends to have extra sugar and won’t caramelize the same way. If you use it, pat it dry first to remove excess moisture.

How do I store roasted pineapple?

Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it, but the texture might get a little mushy when thawed.

Can I roast pineapple without sugar?

Absolutely. The natural sugars in the pineapple are enough to caramelize on their own. The brown sugar just kicks it up a notch.

What’s the best way to reheat it?

Pop it in the oven or air fryer at a low temp for a few minutes. Microwaving works too, but it might make it a little soggy.
