Crispy Air Fryer Sweet Potato Tots

Just five ingredients and a small amount of spray oil are needed to make these crispy sweet potato tots baked in an air fryer. These are simple, kid-approved snacks or side dishes that can be prepared in advance and frozen, then cooked straight in the air fryer. The recipe also contains instructions for baking these sweet potato tots.

Ingredients:

1. 2 cups pureed sweet potato;
2. 1 teaspoon each of salt, cumin, and coriander;
3. 1 cup Panko or normal breadcrumbs;
4. Apply oil spray

Guidelines

• Preheat your air fryer to 200°C or 390°F.
• Mix all the ingredients together in a big bowl.
• Using a cookie scoop, form into 1-teaspoon-sized tots and place on 1-2 plates.
• Apply a thin layer of spray oil, then gently move the tots so that the bottoms are equally coated.
• Tots should be carefully arranged on the air fryer basket with room between them. Cooking will require two to three batches.
• After cooking for 6–7 minutes, gently turn them over. When you turn the tots, if they feel very mushy and squishy, give them a few more minutes.
• Cook for a further five to seven minutes, or until crispy but not burnt on both sides.
• Accompany right away with chipotle mayo, ketchup, or guacamole.

To Prepare & Freeze Earlier

• Place the formed teddy bears on a baking sheet. Tots should be frozen through after a few hours of freezing. After that, transport them to a large freezer bag and press out as much air as you can.
• Preheat the air fryer to 390°F, or 200°C, if cooking from frozen.
• Frozen tots should be sprayed with spray oil, being sure to cover all surfaces.
• Tots should be carefully arranged on the air fryer basket with room between them. After 9 to 10 minutes of cooking, carefully turn them over. When you turn the tots, if they feel very mushy and squishy, give them a few more minutes.
• Cook for a further five minutes or so, or until crispy but not browned on both sides.
• Accompany right away with chipotle mayo, ketchup, or guacamole.

Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Thighs

Quick and tasty, these air-fried chicken thighs are prepared in only a few minutes! You may use boneless or bone-in thighs with just a little oil and a basic spice rub. This recipe is minimal in carbohydrates and gluten.

Ingredients:

1. 4 chicken thighs (see note 1), either skin-on or bone-in.apply oil rub
2. 1 teaspoon each of onion and garlic powders
3. ½ teaspoon each of paprika and pepper (optional; may be a little spicy for young children)
4. 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp thyme leaves

Guidelines

Skinless, Boneless Thighs

• Arrange the chicken thighs onto a dish. Apply spray oil on both sides.
• Combine the rub and coat the chicken with it. To ensure perfect adhesion, press it on with your hands, flip the thighs, and continue on the opposite side.
• Preheat the air fryer to 200°C/390°F.
• Make sure the chicken thighs are spread out and not curled up before placing two of them in the air fryer’s bask (see to point 2). Simmer for four minutes.
• After 4 minutes, flip the food, and continue cooking until a digital thermometer inserted into the thickest area reaches 165°F.
• Before serving, take the chicken out of the air fryer, cover it, and let it rest for five minutes.

Skin-On, Bone-In Thighs

• Arrange the chicken thighs onto a dish. Apply spray oil on both sides.
• Combine the rub and coat the chicken with it. To ensure perfect adhesion, press it on with your hands, flip the thighs, and continue on the opposite side.
• Preheat the air fryer to 200°C/390°F.
• (Deeply optional) Tumble two pieces of bread under the basket in the air fryer’s bottom (see to note 3).
• Spread out the four chicken thighs as much as you can while placing them in the basket. Simmer for fifteen minutes.
• After carefully turning the chicken over, cook it for a further 8 to 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (see note 4).
• Before serving, take the chicken out of the air fryer and allow it to rest for five minutes, covered.

Notes

• 1- about 1 pound of skinless, boneless chicken thighs, or around 1.5 pounds of skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs.
• 2. You will need to work in batches because a standard-sized basket air fryer can only fit two spread-out chicken thighs at a time. A complete batch can fit in larger oven-style or basket air fryers.
• 3. By absorbing the grease from the chicken thighs, the bread lessens the amount of smoke that arises during cooking.
• 4-We discovered that the chicken was a touch underdone in the area closest to the bone and that the top was not as crispy as we would have liked when it was cooked to 165°F. We found that 185–190 was a better outcome, but feel free to experiment to acquire the ideal chicken thighs!

Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas

• Fajita seasoning: I suggest spending some time making a batch of homemade fajita seasoning for the best flavour. The flavours will completely eclipse fajita seasoning from the shop!
• Chicken breast: You should thinly slice the chicken breast into strips that are ¼ inch thick. This guarantees that the bell peppers and chicken will cook through in a comparable length of time.
• vegetables: in this dish, bell peppers and red onions are used. Cut them into ¼-inch-thick strips.
• OIL: Olive oil works well for this dish; avocado oil is also a fantastic option for air fryers.
• Lime juice: I suggest adding the lime juice right before serving, instead of throwing it in to cook. In order to prevent a major mess in the fryer, we want to use as little liquid as possible in this recipe.

Recipe Card

Ingredients:

1. One pound of chicken breasts cut into ¼-inch-thick strips
2. two bell peppers cut into strips, and one red onion cut into strips
3. One tablespoon olive oil
4. one tablespoon sugar
5. one-fourth teaspoon salt
6. one tablespoon chilli powder
7. one-half teaspoon cumin
8. one-half teaspoon paprika
9. one-fourth teaspoon garlic powder
10. one-seventh teaspoon onion powder
11. optionally, one-fourth teaspoon cayenne

To Serve:

avocado

sour cream

cilantro

lime juice

tortillas

Directions:

1. Heat up the air fryer to 200°C or 400°F.
2. Combine ingredients: Using a big bowl, thoroughly mix the chicken, onion, bell peppers, and olive oil until everything is coated.
3. Add the sugar, salt, cayenne, chilli powder, cumin, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika powder. Stir until the chicken and veggies have a uniform seasoning.
4. In the air fryer, arrange:
5. Spread them out equally on the tray or trays, making sure they are in a single layer, oven-style. If ingredients come into contact, that’s fine, but you don’t want different layers.
6. Work in bunches if you’re working basket-style. Fill the basket with one layer.
7. Cooking- Cook for 5 minutes, then use tongs to flip and separate the chicken. If using an air fryer with trays, rotate the trays. Cook for another 3-5 minutes.

   When chicken is cooked through and bell peppers are slightly softened, remove and serve with suggested toppings.

Tips:

•  You may substitute chicken thighs for this, but you might need to extend the cooking time. This amounts to about two large chicken breasts.
•  Tortillas and serving suggestions are not included in the nutritional information Storage

Storage:

Portion into a meal prep container once fully cooled. Keep chilled for up to four days.

Reheating:

Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees. Place the fajita filling into the basket or on trays, and heat for five minutes, or until thoroughly heated.

AIR FRYER ZUCCHINI CHIPS

Discover how to prepare air-fried zucchini chips in under ten minutes! These crunchy, salty, and healthful air fryer zucchini chips are a great snack.

INGREDIENTS

1. One medium zucchini
2. One tablespoon of olive oil
3. 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
4. 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

• Slice the zucchini into 1/8-inch (0.3 cm) thick pieces using a mandoline.
• Using a paper towel, dab any extra liquid from the zucchini slices.
• Heat the air fryer to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (162 degrees Celsius).
• Combine the zucchini slices, olive oil, sea salt, and pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Until every slice is coated, toss.
• Arrange the zucchini slices in the air fryer in a single layer. Simmer for eight to twelve minutes. After eight minutes, check and take out any slices that are beginning to brown or crisp. Check the slices every few minutes until they are all done. Continue doing this with every zucchini slice. As the zucchini cools, it will get more crispier.

AVAILABLE SUGGESTIONS

• While air-fried zucchini chips are a delicious snack on their own, you can add some extra flavor by trying a dipping sauce! They are delicious served with tahini sauce, ranch dressing, or even chicken liver pate. They also work well as dippers for a variety of salsas, such as guacamole, salsa verde, and fresh tomato salsa

STORAGE GUIDELINES

• Keep unused air fryer zucchini slices in your pantry for two to three weeks by storing them in an airtight container. You can use the air fryer for a few minutes to crisp them up again if they become too mushy.

Variations in the season:

• You are welcome to vary it up by adding other seasonings to the zucchini: Garlic powder and Italian spice should be added. Spicy: If you enjoy a little heat, jerk or Cajun seasoning would be ideal! Ranch: Add the ranch spice. Lemon Pepper: Add some lemon zest and more black pepper, or use a lemon pepper spice.

Air Fryer Brown Rice Fritters

This was one of my favourite snacks to have after school. Yogurt and leftover rice were a common sight in refrigerators. With the aid of an air fryer, I have finally managed to create an oil-free, yogurt-free version. This recipe is well worth the time investment if you use a counter top convection/air fryer instead of a basket air fryer like the one I have, which requires batch cooking.

Ingredients:

1.  4 cups of brown rice, cooked
2. 1 cup onion, diced to a quarter-inch size
3. Half a cup of unflavored, unsweetened plant-based milk
4. Half a cup of chickpea flour
5. One-fourth cup almond flour
6. two tsp lemon juice
7. One tsp baking soda
8. One tsp of powdered turmeric
9. One teaspoon of cumin powder
10. One tsp finely ground coriander
11. One-fourth teaspoon of cayenne
12. 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
13. Half a teaspoon of sea salt, if desired

Directions:

1. Set the air fryer’s temperature to 370 for ten minutes.
2. Cut 12 little, roughly 2 by 4 inch pieces of parchment paper if you’re using an air fryer with a basket. If you own a tabletop air fryer or convection oven, prepare a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
3.  In a mixing basin, mix together all the ingredients. Stir thoroughly to make a somewhat dry batter.
4.  Transfer 1 1/2 tablespoons of the batter onto the baking sheet or parchment paper that has been prepared. Put the fritters in the air fryer and cook at 370 degrees for 15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned and crispy.

CHEESY GARLIC BREAD IN AIR FRYER

In an air fryer, garlic bread is actually done in three minutes. Alternatively, bake it! Add some mozzarella cheese to the herbed garlic butter to give it a little extra kick. Then, pair this crispy, cheesy delight with your favourite soup or pasta.

This buttery, crispy Garlic Bread is the perfect comfort food. In just three minutes, the air fryer is ready.

Ingredients:

1.  1 loaf of French bread
2. 100 grammes of softened unsalted butter
3. One tablespoon of olive oil
4. 5–6 minced garlic cloves
5. 3–4 tablespoons of chopped chives
6. One tsp of dried Italian herbs
7. One tsp of dehydrated parsley

Optional:

1. ½ teaspoon red chilli flakes
2. ¼ teaspoon salt
3. One cup of finely shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:

1. Combine the olive oil, butter, garlic, chives, dried Italian herbs, dried parsley, red chilli flakes, and salt in a bowl.
2. Mix everything thoroughly using a fork.
3. Cut the French bread in half lengthwise in the middle. To get four quarters, cut each slice into two further pieces.
4. Spread a liberal amount of garlic butter over each slice of bread using a butter knife.
5. Evenly cover with shredded mozzarella cheese, then scatter some chopped chives and Italian herbs on top.

To air fry bread:

place it in a single layer in an air fryer that has been preheated. Cook for 3–4 minutes at 200 °C (400 °F) or until the cheese is completely melted and browned.

For oven:

Place the bread on a baking tray in a preheated oven. Once the cheese is browned on top, bake it for 8 minutes at 200 °C (400 °F) and then broil it for 2 minutes.
Cut, then warmly serve!

Notes

AIR FRYER EGGPLANT

In 15 minutes, prepare simple eggplant using an air fryer and just 4 ingredients! It has a tasty crispy, cheesy coating and cooks more quickly than other techniques.

INGREDIENTS

1. one medium-sized sliced eggplant
2. Two tablespoons of olive oil
3. One teaspoon sea salt
4. Black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon
5. Grated parmesan cheese, one cup
6. Two tsp of Italian spice

INSTRUCTIONS

• Set the air fryer’s temperature to 375°F, or 190°C.
• Cut the eggplant crosswise into rounds that are approximately 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick. Only trim off the leafy end after you have finished slicing, so that you have more surface area to hold onto. Using paper towels, pat the slices dry.
• Olive oil can be brushed or drizzled over the eggplant slices. Add Italian spice, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and sea salt.
• Place the eggplant slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Simmer for ten to twelve minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and the eggplant is tender. With the remaining eggplant slices, repeat in batches.

APPETIZERS FOR AIR-FRIED EGGPLANT

• This vegetable is delicious as an appetizer (dunk it in tomato sauce or marinara sauce!) or as a simple side dish to go with a variety of main dishes:
• Chicken: This dish pairs well with nearly any type of chicken preparation, but my personal favorites are air fryer chicken wings or lemon garlic chicken.
• Fish: Try the flaky air fryer cod (or bake the cod), pan-seared salmon (it has the finest lemon butter sauce!), or halibut for a nicer meal.
• Steak: Try it with an air fryer steak for a meal prepared right there, or try a chimichurri steak for a little different twist. You can even cook a basic sirloin steak while the eggplant is air frying.
• Noodles: You may serve it with your preferred pasta or go for more vegetarian options like spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles.
• Eggplant Lasagna: This recipe calls for air-fried eggplant instead of roasted chunks of eggplant! It can also be used to make eggplant parmesan by adding mozzarella cheese and marinara sauce to it, then finishing with fresh basil.

AIR FRYER SAUSAGE ROLLS RECIPE

This recipe for air fryer sausage rolls just calls for four tasty ingredients and can be prepared in under thirty minutes! Coeliac-friendly and free of gluten.

Recipe for sausage rolls made in an air fryer, anyone? Because the air fryer’s dry environment prevents soggy pastry, they turn out even better than when baked! The best part is that it just takes 30 minutes to prepare.

INGREDIENTS

1. One bag of 280 g gluten-free puff pastry
2. 400 g of gluten-free sausages
3. One tablespoon wholegrain mustard
4. One beaten egg

DIRECTIONS

• After removing the sausages from their skins, combine them in a bowl and mash until they are smooth.
• Once the puff pastry is unrolled, cut it in half lengthwise to create two long strips.
• Distribute a lengthy mustard strip lengthwise, slightly off center, down each strip. then place a line of sausage meat on top.
• On each of the strips, spread a long line of mustard slightly off center, and then place a line of sausage meat on top.
• Using a fork, seal the pastry by folding it over and brushing the somewhat thinner edge with beaten egg.
• Using a sharp knife, make slashes down the top of the pastry after brushing it with beaten egg. Proceed with the remaining sausage meat and the second strip of pastry by following the preceding procedures.
• Cut the sausage rolls with a sharp knife to the desired size or to fit in the basket of your air fryer; I produced four large ones!
• Place in the 200°C air fryer and cook for 12 to 14 minutes, or until cooked through and golden. (If your air fryer needs to be preheated, make sure to do so; some don’t.)
• Take out of the air fryer, let cool for five to ten minutes, and then savor!
