Ingredients for Air Fryer Lavender Honey Peach Halves

How to Make Air Fryer Lavender Honey Peach Halves

Alright, let’s turn those beautiful ingredients into something magical! I promise it’s easier than you think, and the results will make your kitchen smell like a summer dream.

Step 1: Prep the Peaches

First things first – get those peaches ready! Cut them in half from stem to bottom and remove the pits. Don’t worry if they’re not perfect – rustic is charming! Now, grab your pastry brush (or clean fingers work too) and lightly coat the cut sides with olive oil. This little step makes all the difference – it helps the peaches caramelize instead of just steaming in the air fryer.

Step 2: Add Flavors

Time for the fun part! Drizzle about half a tablespoon of honey over each peach half – I like to make little zigzags for even coverage. Then comes the lavender! Sprinkle it evenly across all the halves, crushing the buds between your fingers as you go to release more fragrance. That vanilla extract and pinch of salt? Just a quick dash over everything. The salt might seem odd, but it makes the sweetness shine!

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

Pop those beauties into your preheated 350°F (175°C) air fryer basket. Give them space – don’t overcrowd! Set the timer for 8 minutes first. When the beeper goes, peek in – the peaches should be tender when poked with a fork but still hold their shape. If they need another minute or two, go for it, but watch closely! They go from perfect to mush fast. You’ll know they’re done when the edges start getting those gorgeous caramelized spots and the honey is bubbling slightly.

There you have it – restaurant-worthy dessert in about the time it takes to scoop ice cream into bowls! Now, try not to eat them straight from the basket… though I won’t judge if you do.

These air fryer lavender honey peach halves are proof that simple ingredients can create unforgettable flavors—juicy, caramelized, and delicately floral in every bite. If you love peach desserts, you’ll definitely want to try my air fryer baked peaches for another effortless recipe that’s equally irresistible.

Tips for the Best Air Fryer Lavender Honey Peach Halves

After making these dozens of times (okay, maybe hundreds), here are my can’t-live-without tips:

• Peach picker pro tip: Choose peaches that yield slightly when gently pressed near the stem – rock-hard ones won’t soften properly
• Sweetness control: Start with less honey – you can always drizzle more after cooking if needed
• Early bird check: Peek at 6 minutes – some air fryers run hotter than others!
• Lavender lover’s trick: Rub the buds between your palms first to wake up their fragrance

Follow these, and you’ll get perfect peaches every single time!

Serving Suggestions for Air Fryer Lavender Honey Peach Halves

Oh, the possibilities! My absolute favorite way is still warm over vanilla bean ice cream – that hot-cold contrast is heavenly. But don’t stop there! Try them with:

• A dollop of Greek yogurt and granola for breakfast
• Whipped cream and crushed amaretti cookies
• Ricotta cheese with a drizzle of extra honey

Honestly? They’re pretty magical straight from the air fryer too – I won’t tell if you sneak one!

Storing and Reheating Air Fryer Lavender Honey Peach Halves

Here’s the scoop on keeping your peach halves perfect! Store any leftovers (ha – as if!) in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you’re ready for round two, just pop them back in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes until warmed through. The lavender scent will come right back to life! Pro tip: Add a fresh drizzle of honey after reheating for that just-made taste.
