Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 whole fresh pineapple

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 95 degrees C (200 degrees F).
  2. Cut off the top, bottom, and rind of your pineapple. Make sure to remove any excess rind and seeds.
  3. Slice the pineapple into thin rounds. The thinner the slices, the better they will dry and mold into flower shapes.
  4. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  5. Place the pineapple slices on the tray and use a paper towel to gently soak up any excess moisture.
Baking
  1. Bake the pineapple slices for 40 minutes.
  2. After this time, turn the slices over and continue baking for another 30-35 minutes, or until they start to brown slightly at the edges.
  3. Once done, remove the warm pineapple slices and place them into a muffin tin to help them mold into a beautiful flower shape.
  4. Allow them to cool and dry overnight.
Storage
  1. Store your dried pineapple flowers in an airtight container and aim to consume them within 2-3 days for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

For a healthier version, try adding spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg before baking. These flowers can be used as garnishes for cocktails or as toppings for yogurt and smoothies.
