Air Fryer Peaches [With Oven Instructions]
Description
This recipe features fresh, ripe but firm peaches sliced and gently cooked in an air fryer or oven until tender enough to pierce easily with a fork. An optional marinade of melted vegan butter, coconut sugar, and cinnamon provides a subtle sweetness and spice that enhances the peaches without overpowering their natural flavor. Cooking in a single layer allows even softening and caramelization.
The peaches come out soft, juicy, and slightly caramelized on edges, with a warm aromatic note from cinnamon. Cooking time varies depending on ripeness, with softer peaches requiring less time. The optional marinade adds a glossy coat and mellow sweetness.
Serve these peaches warm on their own or topped with "nice cream" (frozen fruit dessert), chopped walnuts or pecans, and granola to add crunch. They work well as a light dessert or a side to breakfast dishes. Removing loose skins before or after cooking can improve texture for sensitive eaters.
Peach slices can be peeled before cooking if preferred. The marinade adds calories and fat, but skipping it yields a fat-free, low-calorie option. The recipe’s nutritional info includes the marinade but excludes optional toppings.
Ingredients
- 1 pound peach approx. 3 large or 6 small, fresh, ripe but firm
Optional Marinade
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter melted
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Optional Toppings
- Ice cream "nice cream" (typically a frozen fruit dessert
- walnuts chopped, or pecans
- granola gluten free if preferred, or oats
Instructions
- Wash and slice your peaches and remove the pits. Place the sliced peaches in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
- Optional: In another small bowl combine the butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Then pour the marinade on the sliced peaches and mix well to evenly coat the slices. (You can air fry the peaches plain without the mixture if you're avoiding added fat and sugar.)
- Arrange the sliced peaches in a single layer in your fryer basket and air fry at 350°F/177°C for 8-12 minutes. They are ready when very soft and a fork easily pierces through a peach slice.
- Serve warm with desired toppings or enjoy as is.
Notes
- Choose ripe peaches for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Slice large peaches into about 6 pieces, smaller peaches into 4.
- Peach ripeness affects cooking time; softer peaches cook faster.
- Peach skins that loosen during cooking can be removed for smoother texture.
- Peel the peaches before cooking if preferred for picky eaters.
- Nutrition info includes the optional marinade but not toppings like nuts or ice cream.
- Cooking peaches without marinade keeps dessert fat-free and low calorie.
