Discover a guilt-free dessert with air-fried cardamom pears and pistachio oat crumble. Indulge in a healthy treat packed with flavor and nutrients!
Ingredients
- • ripe but firm pears: 4
- • ground cardamom: 1/2 teaspoon
- • lemon juice: 2 tablespoons
- • rolled oats: 1 cup
- • shelled pistachios: 1/2 cup
- • honey or maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • coconut oil: 1 tablespoon
- • cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
- • pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- 2 Core the pears and cut them in half. Place them in a bowl, and toss with lemon juice and ground cardamom to coat evenly.
- 3 In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, pistachios, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well until the oats and pistachios are coated.
- 4 Arrange the pear halves cut side up in the air fryer basket. Evenly distribute the oat mixture on top of each pear half, pressing gently to adhere.
- 5 Air fry for 10-15 minutes until the pears are tender and the oat crumble is golden brown and crisp. Check halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- 6 Allow the pears to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve these delightful air-fried pears with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of your favorite plant-based ice cream for added creaminess. You can also garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and fresh flavor. Pair this dessert with a soothing herbal tea like chamomile or a refreshing ginger-infused water for a complete, balanced treat.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, place the cooled pears in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the air fryer or microwave before serving to restore the crispness of the oat topping. For longer storage, freeze individual portions and thaw in the fridge before reheating.
