Notes

Tips To Making The Best Air Fryer Pears

- Do not use very ripe (soft) pears or they will get very mushy when cooked.

- You can leave the skin on or peel the pear before cooking. The choice is yours.

- Remove the seeds and core using a melon baller scoop, measuring spoon, or teaspoon.

- Try to keep the stem intact when you cut the pears for the most aesthetic finish when serving.

- Depending on the ripeness and size, some pears might take a few minutes longer to cook. Check the doneness by piercing one of the pears with a knife. If the blade slides in easily, the pears are ready. If not, bake a few minutes longer.
