As a kid, I remember my mother giving us fried snacks to eat only once in two weeks because it was quite unhealthy. My sister and I used to crave nuggets, french fries and cutlets all week, only to wait till that Friday when we could relish our fried bites in peace. We weren’t oblivious to the harmful effects of eating deep-fried food but what can you say, we were kids.
Wish we had an air-fryer back then. Wait, now we do so what is it doing in the neglected corner of the kitchen. As a method, air frying requires zero to minimum oil which is more or less negligible. Just a slight brush of oil on your cutlets or potato bites and push the lever inside to let the air-fryer do its job.
If you haven’t been introduced to the amazing possibilities of an air-fryer, here are five sweet and savoury recipes for your taste buds.
Troubled with the excess oil that goes into frying those chicken wings? Use your air-fryer next time. The wings turn out to be perfectly tender and crispy, without any oil.
If eggs are your go-to breakfast every morning, you ought to try these quick and easy egg cups that are filled with loads of vegetables, nutrition and taste.
Love eating gobhi ka pakoras? No need for that deep-dish kadhai anymore. Try these crispy cauliflower bites made with minimum oil in your air-fryer.
Ditch the packaged, deep-fried and sugar-loaded donuts from the market because you can make them at home now with just four ingredients in your pantry.
Craving french fries? Replace the potato with a healthy sweet potato and slice them into fries. Once you’re done coating, air-frying is all they need to be a crispy snack.
If fried food can be this healthy, I think my mother won’t mind us eating it more than once in two weeks. What are you thinking?
