Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 ripe peach (firm-ripe is ideal) Choose slightly firm but fragrant peaches for best results.
- 1 tbsp powdered monk fruit (granulated sugar, coconut sugar, brown sugar) Use powdered monk fruit for low-carb option.
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon Feel free to substitute with cardamom or pumpkin pie spice.
- 1 tbsp butter, room temperature Can swap with coconut oil or vegan butter.
- 1 light spray olive oil Prevents sticking and helps caramelize.
- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream Serve warm as a topping.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Halve the peach and remove the pit. Lightly brush or spray the cut surfaces with olive oil.
Cooking
- Place the peach halves cut side down in the air fryer basket and air fry for 6 minutes.
- While the first side cooks, mix the butter, powdered monk fruit (chosen sugar), and cinnamon into a paste.
- After 6 minutes, flip the peaches cut side up and dot the sugar-cinnamon butter into the peach hollows.
- Air fry for an additional 4 minutes, until the peach juices are bubbling and the sugar-butter mixture is caramelized.
- Remove carefully (juices will be hot) and serve immediately topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Add toasted chopped pecans or granola for texture. The dish can also be served with Greek yogurt and granola for a brunch alternative.
