Why It Works
The combination of pineapple and peaches is a classic for a reason. The sweet and juicy pineapple pairs perfectly with the tart and tangy peaches.
Air frying the fruit brings out its natural sweetness and caramelizes it slightly, giving it a delicious and complex flavor.
The addition of cinnamon and ginger adds a warm and spicy flavor to the fruit, making it perfect for a fall or winter snack.
Avocado oil is a healthy and flavorful oil that is perfect for air frying. It has a high smoke point, so it won't burn, and it adds a subtle nutty flavor to the fruit.
