10. Cardamom-Spiced Air-Fried Pears (Light Indian-Inspired Dessert)

For a light dessert that nods to Indian spices, roast pears in the air fryer with cardamom and a touch of jaggery or honey. Halve or quarter pears depending on size, core them and lightly brush with a spiced glaze. Air frying caramelizes the fruit’s sugars quickly while keeping the center tender. Finish with toasted nuts or a spoonful of low-fat yogurt for creaminess without heavy syrup. This dessert satisfies sweet cravings with fruit-forward flavor and aromatic spices—making it a smart choice after a flavourful Indian meal. It’s also seasonally flexible: try apples or stone fruit the same way when pears aren’t at their best.
