Notes
- Covering the air fryer basket: Makes cleanup so much easier. I like to keep a pack of air fryer sheets on hand.
- Cutting the pears: Always try to cut them into even pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- Slicing technique: Use a sharp paring knife to cut them lengthwise and then in half for perfect slices.
- Handling pears: Pears bruise easily, so a light touch keeps them looking their best.
- Skin on or off: Leaving the skin on helps them hold together better.
