Flakey sea salt: Add for depth of flavor.
How to Air Fry Peaches
Slice the peach down the middle, twist to open the peach. Use a spoon or even a knife to carve around the seed. Remove the seed from the center of the peaches.

Variations
Peach: Any variety works. You can also use another stonefruit like apricots, plums, or nectarines.
Maple syrup: Use any liquid sweetener you have on hand like agave or honey
Coconut sugar: Swap for any granulated sugar on hand. Brown sugar, or regular sugar are fine substitutes.
Spices: If you enjoy spice, add ginger, a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, and nutmeg during the fall for an extra punch.
Spicy: Instead of cinnamon, you can add cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes or sriracha for a sweet and spicy combo.

Tips
Wondering how long to air fry peaches? The riper the peaches, the faster they will cook so monitor the cooking time.
You can prep all of the peaches ahead of time, then before dessert is served, just pop them into the air fryer to cook. Once they are out, place one half on each plate with a scoop of ice cream & your guests will love this!
Don’t like the skin or have picky eaters? Peel the skin before air frying.
For easier clean up, place parchment paper in the air fryer basket before cooking the peaches.
Storage
Store the peaches in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 days. Either reheat them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, in the air fryer for 1 minute or enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
