How To Make Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Peaches
Step One: If you use canned peaches, drain the peaches; otherwise, peel and cut your fresh peaches into quarters. Place a basil leaf on top of the peach, and then wrap the bacon tightly around the peach and basil leaf. As you wrap them, place them into the air fryer basket. If you have to use a toothpick to secure the bacon to the peach, add them. (Make sure they have been soaked for about 10 minutes to prevent burning)
Step Two: Spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray, and then place your bacon-wrapped peaches into the basket. Use a pastry brush and brush with olive oil. Set the temperature to 370 degrees F and set the air fryer cook time for 10-12 minutes.
Step Three: Remove when the bacon is crispy.
Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Peaches Recipe Tips
- Use Ripe Peaches: You can’t go to the farmer’s market or grocery store without buying perfect peaches. I’ve found that these are usually rock-hard and either way too mushy, so if you want your bacon-wrapped peaches, buy them a few days ahead! You’ll have soft fruit in just enough time to cook with it when they’re ready at home on their counter after ripening.
- Use Regular Bacon: This is an excellent recipe for bacon; the cooking time will vary depending on your air fryer and how thick your bacon is. This is a great time to use flavored bacon, such as maple or glazed.
- Serve Them Hot: Air-fried Peaches Wrapped With Bacon are best served hot from the air fryer when juicy and tender.

Sounds good to me but my other half says a resounding “no” so this recipe is a no go for me. It does sound wonderful though.
