Ingredients
Scale
- 1–2 ripe peaches – sliced thin
- 2 slices sourdough bread – or any hearty bread, including gluten-free
- 1/4 cup whole milk ricotta – creamy and rich, or use part-skim for lighter option
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil – for roasting peaches
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or hot honey – for sweetness and optional heat
- Pinch of chili flakes – adds a touch of warmth (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves – for garnish and freshness
- Chopped pecans – for texture and nuttiness
Optional Add-Ons:
- Cinnamon or cardamom – for warm spice
- Dollop of Greek yogurt – adds tanginess
Substitutions:
- Ricotta: Blend cottage cheese for a similar effect, or use cream cheese if preferred
- Peaches: Use thawed frozen peaches or fresh nectarines as alternatives
- Bread: Swap in ciabatta, whole grain, or any preferred toasting bread
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set to 400°F (200°C). Meanwhile, wash and slice the peaches.
- Prep Peaches: Toss peach slices with olive oil in a bowl to coat evenly.
- Roast Peaches: Air fry for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through. They should be caramelized and fragrant.
- Make Ricotta Mixture: In a small bowl, mix ricotta, a little olive oil, and honey or hot honey until creamy.
- Toast Bread: Toast sourdough slices in a toaster or skillet until golden and crisp.
- Assemble: Spread ricotta mix on toast. Top with roasted peaches, mint leaves, chopped pecans, and a pinch of chili flakes. Drizzle with more honey if desired.
Notes
- Make it vegan: Use plant-based ricotta and maple syrup instead of honey.
