Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix flour, egg, and salt in a bowl.
- Dip pineapple slices in this mixture.
- Fry the coated pineapple slices in hot oil until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Serve with cinnamon and sugar mixture.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter coating, you can substitute the flour with cornstarch, which gives a crisp texture. If you don't have cinnamon, nutmeg can be a fragrant alternative. Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a golden brown color without absorbing too much oil. Experiment with serving them alongside Amy'S Fresh Orange Fruit Dip for a refreshing contrast.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Nanas Goreng warm, dusted with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar for added sweetness. They pair well with vanilla ice cream or yogurt for a delightful dessert. For an elevated touch, consider serving them alongside a tropical fruit salad or a scoop of sorbet, creating a vibrant plate that complements their flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover fried pineapple in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to regain their crispness, rather than microwaving, which can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use canned pineapple instead of fresh?
Yes, canned pineapple is a convenient option. However, be sure to drain it well to avoid excess moisture, which can affect the batter's adherence. Fresh pineapple slices tend to have a firmer texture and may provide a better overall bite.
What can I do if the batter is too thick?
If you find your batter is too thick, gradually add a little water or milk until it reaches a better consistency. The batter should be thick enough to coat the pineapple but not so thick that it forms clumps.
Can I add more spices to the batter?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with spices like ginger or allspice to enhance the flavor. A touch of vanilla extract can also add depth to the batter, making your fried pineapple even more delicious.
