Crispy Coconut Fried Pineapple Rings with Creamy Dipping Sauce

 

Ingredients:

For the Pineapple Rings:

  • 1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and sliced into rings
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 ½ cups shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened, depending on your preference)
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs (optional, for extra crunch)
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
  • A pinch of salt

For the Dipping Sauce:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce or fish sauce (optional, for a savory twist)
  • Chopped chives or cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pineapple Rings:

  • Pat the pineapple rings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with a pinch of salt, one with beaten eggs, and one with shredded coconut mixed with panko breadcrumbs (if using).

2. Bread the Pineapple Rings:

  • Dredge each pineapple ring in flour, shaking off the excess.
  • Dip the floured ring into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off.
  • Press the pineapple ring into the coconut mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Press the coating gently so it sticks well.

3. Fry the Pineapple Rings:
