Thread Name: BS: who owns an air fryer?
Subject: RE: BS: who owns an air fryer?
We have a medium sized, oven shaped air fryer with an oven function as well. Very useful, but a couple of recipes remain a mystery. Still working on that. It doesn't help that most recipes for air fryers refer to the basket type and not the oven type. When I'm roasting veges I usually roast them with the oven setting and airfry them for a few minutes at the end to make the outside a bit crispier.
A tasty dish we discovered a couple of years ago uses the red variety of Australian Sweet Potatoes. An image is shown on the bottom left of that page with the caption "Gold skin, orange flesh, Varieties: Beauregard".
The recipe works in the air fryer, but also the good old fashioned "fry it in oil" method. We use olive oil so it is sort-of healthy - well healthier than other oil/frying alternatives. :-D
They are seriously yummy, especially with garlic aioli. One of my favourite dishes now, even on its own and not just as a side dish.
