Ingredients:

• 2 large pineapples: Choose ripe pineapples for the best flavor and texture.

Equipment:

• Homtone pizza oven with dehydrate function.
• Baking sheets or silicone baking mats.
• Parchment paper (optional, for easier cleanup).
• A sharp knife.
• Tongs or oven mitts for handling hot trays.
• Wire rack for cooling the pineapple.
• Airtight container for storing the finished dehydrated pineapple.

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Pineapples

1. Wash the Pineapples: Rinse the pineapples thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or residue.
2. Core and Slice: Using a sharp knife, core the pineapples and slice them into even, thin slices about 1/4-inch thick. Thinner slices will dehydrate faster and more evenly.

Step 2: Arrange the Pineapple Slices

1. Prepare the Baking Sheets: Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or use silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
2. Place Pineapple Slices: Arrange the pineapple slices in a single layer on the baking sheets, ensuring they don't overlap. Overlapping can cause uneven dehydration.

Step 3: Dehydrate the Pineapples

1. Dehydrate: Set your oven to the DEHYDRATE function at 150°F (65°C). This temperature will help remove moisture from the pineapple slices without burning them. Place the baking sheets with pineapple slices in the preheated oven. Dehydrate for 6-8 hours, or until the pineapple slices are chewy but not brittle. The exact time may vary depending on the thickness of your pineapple slices and the efficiency of your oven.

Step 4: Cool and Serve

1. Cool: Remove the pineapple slices from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes to allow any residual heat to dissipate.
2. Transfer: Once cooled, transfer the dehydrated pineapple to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps maintain their chewy texture.
3. Serve: Enjoy your homemade dehydrated pineapple as they are or store them in an airtight container for later.

Tips for Dehydrated Pineapple:

• Pineapple Selection: Ripe pineapples are best for this recipe as they have a sweeter taste and firmer texture.
• Slice Uniformity: Try to keep the pineapple slices as uniform as possible for even dehydration.
• Monitoring: Check on your pineapple slices periodically to ensure they don't over-dehydrate.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain their chewy texture. If they start to soften, you can dehydrate them a bit longer next time you want to enjoy them.
