Air Fryer Holiday Meal: Tips and Tricks

Choose air fryer-friendly recipes: Not everything cooks well in an air fryer. Look for recipes specifically designed for air fryers, or dishes that traditionally roast or bake.

Prioritize dishes that benefit from air frying: Think crispy vegetables, roasted meats, and simple baked goods.

Consider timing and space: Your air fryer has limited space, so plan your cooking order strategically. Cook items with similar temperatures and cooking times together.

Don't overcrowd the basket: Overcrowding prevents proper air circulation and can lead to unevenly cooked food. Cook in batches if needed.

Top Air Frying Tips

Shake or flip food midway for even cooking.

Use a meat thermometer to ensure safe internal temperatures.
