Today I have Dried Pineapple Rings, pineapple takes no pretreatment just slice and dehydrate, as easy as that.
It’s Tuesday and that means its Simply Delicious here the TSRI. Today, I bring you a simple snack that is a family favorite. Literally 1 ingredient.
We love healthy snacks, I keep them in my hand bag, in Em’s diaper bag, in the pantry and we are always grabbing for them. Dried pineapples are one of our favorites. I never would have thought to make my own dried fruits, but I can get the freshest ingredients and know what my family is eating. I picked up a bag of dried banana chips from a health food store and enjoyed them very much until I read the ingredient list… That did it.
Today I have Dried Pineapple Rings, pineapple takes no pretreatment just slice and dehydrate. I use my dehydrator, but you can easily do this in your oven on a low temperature setting.
Enjoy!
With love, from our simple kitchen to yours.

Dried Pineapple Rings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 5 pineapples
Instructions
- Start with 1 ripe pineapple.
- Lay pineapple on its side, on top of a cutting board. Using a sharp chefs knife, cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple. Stand pineapple up on its end.
- Cut the skin (and spiky things) off the sides in strips, continue around the pineapple until all the skin is removed. Cut pineapple with a mandolin slicer (using the thick setting) or cut in 1/4 – 1/8″ slices using a good knife. Once you have sliced the pineapple, remove the core by punching the center with a small cookie cutter, about a 1″ round. You can also use a knife to cut it out.
- Lay pineapple rings, not touching on your dehydrator trays (mine holds 9 rings per tray). Repeat until you have filled your whole dehydrator. Mine takes 5 pineapples (with a little snacking). Fill your dehydrator and dry according to your manufacturers instructions.
- Alternately you can lay on baking sheets and bake in oven at 165 degrees for 6-16 hours until leathery and not sticky.

This is great! Pineapple is the best and it never occurred to me to dry it!
I love dried pineapple! I bought it at the store before, never thought you can dry it yourself at home 🙂
Great idea(another one):)
That looks so delicious. I can't believe I've never tried drying pineapple before, I usually dry all kinds of things. I can't wait for some to go on sale to give it a try 😀 Thanks for sharing.

Dried pineapple has such a nice texture, and still tastes so sweet! It’s a great alternative to other sweet snacks. I love making these and sealing them in a ziplock or some other container
would love to try this. could it also be done from commercially canned pineapple that is in its own juice???
