So, I gave in and got an air fryer. I had seen it demoed a little while back and did like the way the chicken cutlet and Brussels sprouts they made tasted. So what are your favorite recipes, what works really well and what doesn’t? I am excited to try it for the holidays, maybe some creative sides for Thanksgiving.
I cook most food in an air fryer primarily due to the time savings.
Green peppers are a great addition to any meat cooked in an air fryer.
Haven’t used it for fish or seafood yet, but will be air frying lobster tails sometime this week & will report back. I am not a fan of scallops, but might reconsider after cooking them in an air fryer.
I got the skinny taste air fryer cookbook, now that the grill will be closed, the air fryer will be on the list more.
My favorite thing is French fries
I love salmon in the air fryer. I’m not much of a cook, but just some seasoning and they come out great.
My favorites are potatoes (any kind - french fries, wedge fries, or just plain roasted potatoes!) and chicken wings. I tried dredging wings in a flour mixture the first time as I normally do for deep frying and they came out horrible. Figured out that they need to go in the air fryer with just seasoning or a spice rub with nothing else added and then they come out super crispy.
First air fryer meal was a success. Zucchini chips coated in bread crumbs - I should have used more spices but they were good. Chicken split breasts with the bones with just some spices and sprayed with Pam - very good - skin was crispy and inside tender.
