My oven broke nearly two years ago and I've been using the air fryer for everything ever since. This is the thread for me! I can't wait to see what people share - would love some new ideas.
Some of my favourites/regulars:
- Whole bell peppers, which come out easy-to-peel, super juicy and sweet (can't remember the timing, just until they're done)
- Whole celeriac, cleaned, rubbed in coriander seed & olive oil, 150C (basted) for 90 minutes.
- Small potatoes, rubbed in olive oil, salt, spices, liquid-smoke, 200C (basted) until crispy on the outside and creamy inside.
- Cubes of potato for patatas bravas, oiled/spiced and cooked as above, timing depends on size.
- Baked bramley apples, skin scored, stuffed with buttery dried fruit and maple syrup, 150C for 20-25 minutes.
- Store-bought pies come out with lovely crispy pastry (but take a little longer than in the oven).
- Cauliflower, broken into fork-size chunks, tossed in olive oil & spices, 180C for about 20 minutes, to serve with something creamy/squidgy.
- Arancini (orange-sized balls of cold risotto, stuffed with meat/cheese/whatever, with flour/egg/panko exterior), 180C for 20 minutes, turn a few times.
- Chickpeas, rubbed in oil/salt, 150C for an hour, to use as a crunchy topping.
I also find it great for home-made pies that deserve crispy tops, eg mashed potato for fish pie, or thinly sliced potato on my self-invented spicy veg pie. The latter works best if half the slices are half-cooked in advance, and only added half way through the pie cooking process.
(I've also had success with apple/almond cake, potato chips, latkes, spicy chicken wings, toasted sandwiches, whole aubergines, spaghetti squash, normal squash, panko tofu, puff pastry spinach rolls... )
