Recipe Tips:
- Preheat Air Fryer – Before placing the peach in the air fryer, we recommend preheating. If your air fryer doesn’t have this option, then heat the air fryer for about 5 minutes.

- Cut Peaches โ We recommend cutting the peaches in halves trying to keep them about the same size.
- Cook Both Sides โ You will cook both sides of the peaches in the air fryer. Carefully flip the peaches so that each side cooks.
- Cooking Time โ Cooking time will vary so watch the peaches closely. It will depend on your air fryer on how long it will cook. You do not want to over cook the peaches as they can turn mushy.

Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes to caramelize the toppings.
