🍑 Air-Fried Honey-Balsamic Glazed Peach Halves 🇮🇹

A magnificent, elegant dessert that proves you don’t need a heavy batter or an outdoor grill to achieve stunning caramelization. By splitting fresh peaches and misting the exposed flesh with a dark balsamic and honey lacquer, you create an optimal canvas for thermal convection. The high-velocity airflow concentrates the fruit’s natural sugars at the crown, forming a sticky, caramelized skin with localized dark char spots while transforming the interior into a warm, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth delicacy.
