Pineapple Chips

We are loving pineapple at our house right now and really, what's not to love? It's sweet and juicy and reminds me that warmer weather is coming. Usually I just cut it up to eat fresh or occasionally for dinner if we are grilling I will throw it on the grill to eat warm, but this week I was in the mood for something crunchy. Have you ever had the vacuum fried pineapple chips from Trader Joe's? Yum! I'm not going to lie and say these taste exactly like those, because they don't. (Does anyone have any idea how to vacuum fry?) But they certainly have a little more depth to them than simply drying them.

Start by slicing the pineapple very thin either using a knife or mandolin. Don't cut out the center. I cut mine in half so that it would fit on my mandolin. Place on a baking sheet in a single layer. Parchment paper would be great, but I only had 3 inches left on my roll when I took it out.

Brush both sides with melted coconut oil and lightly sprinkle with either Truvia, Coconut sugar or Sucanat.

Bake @ 200 degrees for anywhere from 1 1/2- 2 1/2 hours until golden brown. It really varies by oven so keep an eye on them. The longer they cook the crispier they will become, but you don't want them to burn.
