Ingredients: TIPS FOR COOKING IN AN AIR FRYER
https://www.everydayfamilycooking.com/how-to-use-an-air-fryer/
I’ve been using my air fryer for years now and I’ve learned a thing or two along the way! Here are some of my favorite tips for cooking in an air fryer:
Always preheat your air fryer.
Air fryers cook more quickly. If you use a recipe that calls for a traditional oven, make sure that you decrease the time (and temperature) that you cook your food! You can use this air fryer conversion chart to help.
Air fryers can be loud. Don’t be alarmed if you find yours to be noisy!
Always cook your food in one layer unless the recipe states that stacking is okay (like in these air fryer French fries and sweet potato fries recipes)
Never fill an air fryer more than halfway full. This can cause uneven cooking and you can end up with half-burnt and half raw food.
Get that deep-fried taste you’re looking for by using a little oil. My favorite method is to use this EVO Oil Mister.
However, don’t ever put cooking spray on your air fryer as it will damage it.
Ditch the microwave and reheat leftovers in your air fryer for a crispier (and yummier) result.
Use silicone tongs to remove food from your air fryer instead of just dumping out the basket into a bowl. Do this to avoid any excess oil that could burn you or make your meal soggy and to not scratch it.
Be aware that the outside of your air fryer is hot (especially the back). Be careful not to touch it!
I’ve made my share of mistakes with my air fryer along the way, which is why I’m so passionate about helping air fryer beginners!

The possibilities are truly endless when it comes to using an air fryer! Well, not so endless that you can steam broccoli in your air fryer, but you get the idea. Recipes that call for roasting, baking, and frying can be adapted to use with an air fryer. Don’t be afraid to get creative!
Now that you know how to use an air fryer, let’s take a look at the best things to cook in an air fryer:
Raw and frozen vegetables, like carrots, spaghetti squash and okra (here’s a whole list of air fryer vegetables to choose from!)
