Notes

Variation: We made these also in the convection oven and they cooked in less than half the time without any need to broil. We will add that recipe the next time we make them.

Tip: Save yourself some time and wash slice and chunk your pineapple up to a day before. Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use.
