Top 8 Air Fryer Recipes
Luxury homes must be fully equipped to truly feel luxurious, and who doesn’t want an in-house fryer that can make their favorite deep-fried dish at hand? But this presents a few problems because as delicious as those golden, crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside dishes are, they’re not exactly the healthiest food around. Enter air fryers and delicious air fryer recipes!
In this article, we’ll discuss everything you need to know about air fryers – what they are, what their various advantages are, what yummy yet healthy recipes you can make with them right this instant.
What is an Air Fryer?
Everybody loves fried food, be it at home, in a restaurant, or in parties.
Fried food is very easy to like. There’s something about that unique fried crispiness that just sticks to us, from the first time we had our first fried chicken to every instance we eat something fried as adults.
But as much as we love it, it’s also not that good for us. Research has repeatedly linked fried food consumption to several health issues, such as heart disease and high blood pressure.
Enter the air fryer, which claims to do everything that a deep fryer can, minus all the adverse effects.
Air fryers mimick the effect of an amped-up convection oven. Instead of frying the food in a deep vat of hot oil, an air fryer just superheats the air around the food to cook it. This means that you’ll end up using way less oil, if any at all. Cooking with an air fryer is also easier, quicker, and safer to your health.
Above everything else, this cooking appliance is also one of the most versatile around, perhaps more than a deep fryer. You can air-fry dozens of recipes, from meat, to vegetables, and even to dessert.
