Air Fryer Caramelized Pears Storage:

Baked pears, when stored in an airtight container in the fridge, usually last 3-4 days.

You can freeze them for up to two months.

How to tell when a Pear is Ripe?

• Gently press the neck of the pear. If it feels hard, it needs more time to ripen. A ripe pear should give slightly when pressed.
• If the skin starts to wrinkle, the pear is overripe.
• Bartlett pears change from green to yellow as they ripen, while other pear varieties may not change color.

Instructions

Slice the pears in half and remove the stems. Use a spoon to scoop out the core.

Sprinkle cinnamon evenly over the pear halves and drizzle with honey.

Place the pears in the air fryer at 350°F and cook for 12-14 minutes, until soft and slightly caramelized.

Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly.

Fill the center with Greek yogurt or your favorite toppings (granola, nuts, or a drizzle of nut butter work great!).

Drizzle with more honey for extra sweetness.

Serve warm and enjoy!
