Air Fryer Strawberries

Start by washing the strawberries and removing the stems. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

If you’re using granulated sugar or balsamic vinegar, toss the strawberries in a bowl with a light coating of either ingredient. This step is optional but can enhance the flavor and caramelization.

Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C). This step ensures the strawberries start cooking immediately and helps with even caramelization.

Place the strawberries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Ensure they are not overlapping for even cooking.

Cook the strawberries for about 8-10 minutes. The exact time might vary depending on your air fryer model and the size of the strawberries.

Halfway through, you can gently shake the basket to ensure they cook evenly.

The strawberries are done when they are tender and have deepened in color. They should be slightly caramelized and juicy.

Serve the air-fried strawberries warm. They are delicious on their own or with a dusting of powdered sugar.

You can also use them as a topping for ice cream, yogurt, pancakes, or waffles.
