- 3 pears, halved
- 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) butter
- 2 tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) honey
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
Garnish Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons (1 ounce) almond slices
Instructions
- Carefully slice pears in half, using a melon baller to remove cores and create smooth, elegant circular openings.
- Stabilize each pear half by trimming a small flat surface at the bottom, ensuring they rest evenly during cooking.
- Create attractive crosshatch patterns on the rounded side of pear halves with gentle knife scores, enhancing both presentation and caramelization potential.
- Position pear halves onto parchment-lined air fryer tray, arranging them with precision and space between each piece.
- Delicately nestle a dollop of butter into the center cavity of each pear half, allowing it to melt and infuse rich flavor.
- Generously drizzle golden honey across the pear surfaces, ensuring even coverage and natural sweetness.
- Sprinkle a harmonious blend of ground cinnamon and a whisper of salt over the glistening pears, creating depth and complexity.
- Slide the prepared tray into the air fryer, cooking at a moderate temperature until pears transform into tender, caramelized delicacies.
- During the final cooking moments, scatter almond slices around the pears, allowing them to toast to a delicate golden brown and add textural contrast.
- Remove from heat when pears reach a perfect balance of softness and slight caramelization, ready to be served as an elegant dessert.
Notes
- Create smooth surface cuts on pears to help butter and honey seep into flesh.
- Remove pear cores carefully using melon baller for consistent, elegant presentation.
- Flatten pear bottoms slightly to ensure stable positioning during cooking and serving.
