Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the peaches by washing them thoroughly and patting them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Carefully slice each peach in half and remove the pit using a small spoon or knife, creating a clean cavity.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine honey, cinnamon, and olive oil, whisking until the ingredients are fully integrated and form a smooth glaze.
- Brush each peach half generously with the honey-cinnamon mixture, ensuring complete coverage of the cut surface.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for approximately 3 minutes to ensure even cooking temperature.
- Lightly spray or brush the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent peaches from sticking.
- Place peach halves cut-side down in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded and have some space between them.
- Cook for 5-6 minutes until the peaches develop golden-brown caramelized edges and become slightly softened.
- Carefully remove peaches using tongs and transfer to a serving plate.
- Optional: Drizzle additional honey or sprinkle extra cinnamon on top before serving warm.
- Serve immediately as a dessert, alongside vanilla ice cream, or as a side dish to grilled meats.
Tips
- Choose ripe but firm peaches for the best results - they should yield slightly to gentle pressure but not be mushy.
- Make sure to pat the peaches completely dry before glazing to ensure proper caramelization.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; leave space between peach halves for even cooking.
- For extra indulgence, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Experiment with different spices like nutmeg or cardamom to customize the flavor profile.
- If your peaches aren't quite ripe, let them sit at room temperature for a day or two to develop more sweetness.
- Use a pastry brush for even and thorough glaze application to maximize flavor and caramelization.
