Ingredients

3 small pears
1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
2 teaspoon maple syrup
¼ teaspoon cardamom more to preference

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer at 360F / 190C for 3 minutes.
Wash the pears, then slice lengthways so you have two halves. Use a small spoon to scoop out the seeds, and a sharp knife to remove the ends. Leave the stalk or not to preference.
Combine the melted coconut oil, maple syrup and cardamom in a small bowl and stir well.
Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper, then place the pears cut side up in the basket. Brush the pears with the maple syrup mixture, and spoon a little into the centres where you removed the core (you may have some leftover).
Air fry at 375F / 190C for 10-15 minutes. Timing will vary slightly depending upon the size of the pears, and your preference for texture.
Drizzle with a little extra maple syrup if you like, and dust with cardamom. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Pears can brown fairly quickly once cut, so have all your ingredients ready to use before you slice the pears.
Slice the pears so both halves are roughly the same size. This will help them cook evenly.
Swap cardamom for cinnamon if you prefer.
Check the pears after 10 minutes to see how soft they are. Continue to air fry to the texture you prefer.
Don't overcook the pears as they can become too soft and mushy.
Be careful when removing the pears from the air fryer as the basket will be very hot.
