Equipment
- Chef's knife
- Potato peeler
- Paper towels
- Baking sheet
- Cupcake Tin
- Silicone baking mat
Ingredients
- 1 medium pineapple not too ripe
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 225 degrees F.
- Using a sharp chef's knife, cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple.
- Place the pineapple upright, and cut off the rind in strips, working your way around the pineapple.
- With the sharp end of a potato peeler, remove the eyes of the pineapple, saving as much flesh as you can.
- With the pineapple on its side, cut thin slices. The thinner you can get, the more delicate your flowers will be.
- Place the pineapple slices on paper towels and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
- Place the pineapple slices onto a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat and bake for 90 minutes, or until browned on the edges.
- While the slices are still warm and pliable, remove the pineapple flowers from the baking sheet and place them into a cupcake tin to cool completely.
- Let cool overnight on the countertop for best results.
- Store in an airtight container on the countertop up to 3 days.
