Ingredients
- 1 Pineapple thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
- Peel the pineapple by slicing off the top and bottom, then cutting away the rind.
- Using a mandolin or a super sharp knife, cut very thin slices.
- If the pineapple is really juicy, blot paper towels on it to get rid of the moisture.
- Place slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap.
- Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, then flip each slice over and bake for another 1 hour and 15 minutes. The slices should be dry and lightly golden with curled edges. Make sure you check on them so they don't burn.
- As soon as you take them out of the oven, shape the flowers by placing each warm pineapple slice into a muffin tin mini or standard - this helps them hold a flower-like shape.
- Let them sit overnight to dry and hold their shape.
