Pro Tips For Cooking Peaches In Air Fryer

• Choose Ripe Peaches: Select peaches that are ripe but firm to the touch.
• Uniform Slices: Cut peaches into uniform slices or chunks to ensure they cook evenly.
• Minimal Layering: Arrange peach slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
• Monitor Cooking Time: Peaches cook quickly in the air fryer. Check them frequently to avoid overcooking, which can cause them to become too soft and lose their shape.
• Add a Little Lemon Juice: Toss peach slices with a bit of lemon juice before air frying to enhance their flavor and prevent them from browning.
• Experiment with Spices: Enhance the flavor of your peaches by using cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.
• Top with Crunch: For desserts like peach crisp or cobbler, add a crunchy topping of oats, nuts, or crumble before air frying.
• Serve Warm: Serve air-fried peaches warm, either on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an indulgent treat.
• Consider Using a Baking Dish: If making a peach crisp or cobbler, use a small, oven-safe baking dish that fits into your air fryer.
