Crispy Coconut-Crusted Pineapple Rings are a tropical delight featuring juicy pineapple coated in a crunchy coconut and panko crust, perfect as a dessert, snack, or appetizer.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and sliced into thick rings
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Peel, core, and slice the pineapple into thick rings. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. In one bowl, mix flour with a pinch of salt.
  3. In a second bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
  4. In a third bowl, combine shredded coconut and panko breadcrumbs.
  5. Dredge each pineapple ring in flour, dip in egg, and coat with the coconut-panko mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.
  7. Fry the rings in batches until golden brown and crisp, about 2–3 minutes per side.
  8. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve warm with optional dipping sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
