Foods that can be prepared in air fryer

To eat without gaining weight has been on our wishlists at some point in our lives. Losing those extra kilos is way more work than it was gaining them. Thanks to the inventor of the air fryers, we can now inculcate some healthy habits into our lives and free ourselves from the guilt a little bit. You know technology is working in your favour when you can have potato fries and fried chicken without the guilt of them being fried. The air fryer works like an oven as it can roast, bake and air-fry your food and requires just 2 tablespoons of oil to cook food properly. Other than re-heating your food, here are 10 ways you can use an air fryer to cook delicious treats:

2/11

Pizza

A pizza is one of the easiest dishes that you can possibly prepare in an air-fryer. Just prepare the regular by spreading the marinara sauce and topping it with cheese and your favourite toppings. Place an aluminium foil sheet in the fryer and grease it with some oil before placing the pizza. Bake for 30 minutes at 180 degrees, you will have a delicious pizza ready!

3/11

Brownies

Brownies are a must-try in an air fryer! All you need to do is prepare the brownie batter the regular way and preheat the air fryer at 180 degrees for 15 minutes and pour the brownie batter in a ceramic dish. Bake it for 15 more minutes and enjoy!

4/11

Air Fried Salmon

Oil seems to ruin a completely healthy meal and without the oil, the taste seems to not be in favour of the dish. Salmon is one of the healthiest foods to consume and when you roast it in an air fryer, the health quotient increases keeping intact the taste. Slightly run delicious seasonings all over the salmon and pop it in the air fryer to roast for 10-15 minutes.

5/11

Baked samosa

Best chai-time snack ever! Samosa and chai have been best friends and the new diets that have come in to suit our health regimens, samosa has had to bid goodbye to some of us. But worry no more, the air fryer is here for our rescue. Instead of deep-frying the samosa, you can bake it for 20 minutes in the air fryer and have a delicious, guilt-free chai-time again.

6/11

Air-Fried Potatoes

There are so many ways to cook potatoes but when they are hot and crunchy, it adds to the flavour that the potatoes have to offer. All you would need to do is take baby potatoes and cut them half. Wash them and drain out the starch and drizzle some olive oil along with some red chilli powder, salt, oregano and garlic powder. Bake for 20 minutes and enjoy crunchy and delicious potatoes!

7/11

Air-Fried chicken breast

This one is again for all the health freaks, make eir fryer your best friend and you wouldn’t have to worry about your diest being messed up again. Just take a chicken breast and rub some seasoning all over it. Wrap in a foil paper and air fry for 15 minutes. You will have a delicious and juicy chicken ready for your meal.

8/11

Mozzarella sticks

A savoury snack for your party minus the guilt of it being fried. Mozzarella sticks are very easy to prepare and the air-fryer doesn’t just make it less on calories, it also reduces all the mess caused by them. Follow the basic steps to prepare the mozzarella sticks up till coating and then instead of frying them, place them in the air fryer and cook for 10-12 minutes, you will have your party snack ready!

9/11

Cinnamon apple chips

A snack to snack on guilt-free? Cinnamon apple chips are as delicious as they sound. Peel out thin slices of apples and let pat dry them to remove extra liquid. Place them in the air-fryer, sprinkle some cinnamon powder and air fry them for around 15 minutes or until crisp.

10/11

Sweet potato fries

Feel like taking health up to a whole new level? Try making these tasty sweet potato fries. Cut the fries out of the sweet potato, wash them to drain out excess starch, pat dry them and drizzle some olive oil. Bake them for 15 minutes, season with some piri-piri powder and serve hot!

11/11

Chicken wings

Yet another easy recipe to prepare in an air-fryer. Marinate the chicken wings the seasoning of your choice, we prefer the Chinese five-spice seasoning. Pop the chicken wings in the air fryer directly and cook for 15 minutes and voila! Serve these delicious and healthy chicken wings with some coconut siracha.
