How To Make Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Peaches

Making Air Fryer Bacon-Wrapped Peaches is a delightfully simple process that yields a mouthwatering appetizer or snack. Here’s how to do it:

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)

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 for 10 to 12 minutes.

Remove when the bacon is crispy.

Pro 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.

How To Serve

I love serving these bacon-wrapped peaches and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and Air Fryer Toasted and Roasted Walnuts.

This is an excellent combination of the salt from the bacon and the creaminess of the vanilla ice cream! It’s a great summertime or winter treat!

My kids loved serving this to their friends at our game-day celebration!

How To Store

When you’re done air frying your bacon-wrapped peaches, don’t just throw them away! Place them into an airtight container. They will last for about 2 to 4 days.

There are so many things you can do with leftover peaches. You can use it as a topping for ice cream or yogurt, dice them up and put it on top of the cheesecake, eat it alone as a delicious snack, or even mix it into pancake batter to create an extra special breakfast.

Reheating

You can quickly reheat these in the air fryer to re-crisp. I like to spray some olive oil on top of them and then reheat them, at 350 degrees F, air fryer or until crispy.
