You can achieve those crispy potatoes, onion rings, or air fryer zucchini chips in no time! This makes delicious air-fryer recipes perfect for those busy weeknights.
How Does An Air Fryer Work?
The first thing to know is, air fryers don’t actually fry your food. The food goes into a perforated air fryer basket and the machine cooks the food by blowing hot air around it. This works similar to a convection oven to achieve that golden brown effect you love with fried food. Air fryers cook food in less time than a traditional oven, and use significantly less oil than deep frying. You can get away with a spritz of olive oil and still end up with crispy potato chips or french fries in minutes.
What Can I Cook In The Air Fryer?
You can cook almost any frozen or fresh ingredients in the air fryer. You can try making:
- air fryer sweet potatoes or potato wedges
- air fryer asparagus
- air fryer potatoes
- air fryer broccoli
- air fryer green beans
- air fryer cauliflower
- air fryer butternut squash
- air fryer brussels sprouts
- air fryer corn
- and so much more!
