Cost $2
Equipment
- 1 Mandolin slicer
Ingredients
- 1 Fresh pineapple
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°F or 100°C.
- Cut off the bottom and top parts of the pineapple. Also, remove the rind and seeds.
- Cut the pineapple into thin slices. The best way to do this is by using a mandolin slicer. If you don't have one, use a sharp knife instead.
- Dry the slices with a paper towel to remove excess moisture in the fruit.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the pineapple slices onto the paper. Make sure they don't touch or overlap.
- Bake or dry the pineapple flowers for 40 minutes, then turn them.
- Bake again for 35 minutes, and your slices should be completely dry. If they still feel juicy, pop them back in for another 15 to 20 minutes.
- Optionally, put the warm and dried pineapple slices into muffin forms to shape them.
- Store your dried and edible garnish in an airtight container.
