Air Fryer Peaches
Air fryer peaches are a quick, healthy, and delicious summer dessert that brings out the natural sweetness of peaches with a caramelized exterior. They are easy to prepare, requiring minimal ingredients and cooking time, making them the perfect last-minute treat. Serve them warm with ice cream, cinnamon, or honey for a delightful dessert.
Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar optional
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon optional
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup optional, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the peaches in half and remove the pit. Slice each half into 2-3 wedges for even cooking.
- Brush the peach slices lightly with melted butter or oil.
- Sprinkle the peaches with brown sugar and cinnamon if desired.
- Place the peach halves in the air fryer basket, cut side up. Make sure the peaches are arranged in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. The peaches should be tender and lightly caramelized.
- Once done, remove from the air fryer and drizzle with honey or maple syrup, if desired.
- Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
Notes
- Choose peaches that are firm yet slightly soft to the touch for the best results. Overripe peaches may turn mushy, while under-ripe peaches may not caramelize as well.
- For a sweeter option, add more brown sugar or honey when serving.
- If you prefer a savory twist, you can sprinkle the peaches with some grated Parmesan or chopped nuts before air frying.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure the peaches cook evenly. If needed, cook in batches.
- This recipe is customizable; you can add seasonal spices like nutmeg, ginger, or lemon zest for a unique flavor profile.
