Air fryer roasted chocolate pears

Instructions

• 1.Prepare the pears

  Wash two ripe but firm pears.
  Halve and core with a teaspoon to yield about 320 g edible fruit.
  Preheat the empty basket for 3 minutes at 170 °C in Air Fry mode according to the manual.
  

• 2.Top with butter

  Spread the softened butter over the cut surfaces.
  Place the four halves cut-side up in a shallow 18–20 cm dish suitable for the appliance, with airflow around it.
  

• 3.Cook in the air fryer

  Cook at 170 °C for 12–16 minutes without turning.
  From 12 minutes, pierce the thick part: it should be tender but hold its shape.
  Firmer pears may need a few more minutes.
  

• 4.Add the chocolate

  Chop the chocolate and divide between the four cavities as soon as the dish comes out.
  Let it melt in the hot fruit for 2 minutes, included in the preparation time, then serve two halves per person.
