Instructions
Preparation
20 minutesPeel the pineapple, remove the core, and cut into uniform rings or slices 5-8 mm thick. Have paper towels ready to blot excess moisture.
Marinating
30-60 minutesMix lime juice, lime zest, chili flakes, salt, and raw sugar into a marinade. Coat pineapple rings in the marinade and let marinate covered in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Dehydrating
10-16 hoursDrain the marinated pineapple rings and spread on dehydrator trays. Dehydrate at 60-70 °C until the rings are sticky-dry and pliable. Turn every 4 hours.
Cooling & Storage
30 minutesAllow rings to cool completely. Store in sealed containers in a cool, dry place for up to 6 weeks. Refrigerated, they will keep for up to 3 months.
Pro Tip
Fresh pineapple yields the best results. Rings should not be cut thicker than 8 mm to ensure even and timely drying.
