Description

Soft, caramelized pears with a hint of cinnamon — a quick and elegant healthy dessert made right in the air fryer, perfect for a wholesome and warm treat.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe pears, halved & cored
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp coconut oil


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pears: Brush each pear half evenly with the maple syrup and coconut oil to ensure they caramelize beautifully and gain a rich flavor.
  2. Season: Sprinkle cinnamon evenly over the pear halves to add warm, spicy notes that complement the natural sweetness.
  3. Air Fry: Place the pears in the air fryer basket, skin side down, and cook at 370 °F (185 °C) for 10–12 minutes until the pears are golden and tender.
  4. Serve: Remove pears carefully and serve warm, optionally with yogurt or nuts for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Add a pinch of ginger or cardamom for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
  • Use ripe but firm pears to ensure they hold their shape during cooking.
  • For a richer taste, drizzle a little extra maple syrup before serving.
  • Can be served as a healthy snack or as a dessert item.
