The First 15 Things You Should Cook In Your New Air Fryer



It felt like a repeat of the one that happened before it. Covid is still around, our healthcare system still sucks, and eating inside restaurants feels like a dangerous and mildly irresponsible activity. The air fryer's popularity didn't change much.

She is the same oven that could, and we love her for it. If you are one of the lucky recipients of an air fryer this holiday season, you should check out last year's list of our favorite air fryer recipes.

They look and taste the part, even though they are neither fried nor boiled. They are also easy to make.

This is like most air fryer recipes. You heat the air fryer to 270F, you put a few cold eggs in the basket, and let them cook for 10-13 minutes, depending on how firm you like your yolk. The eggs in the photo at the top of this website were cooked for 11 minutes, then plunged into an ice water bath to stop the cooking process.

The little air fried baked egg dish was a breakfast favorite of mine.

A mixture of eggs, half and half, and salt can be cooked in an air fryer. The insides are soft and tender, and the top is brown. It is a satisfying breakfast. You can either put the cheese on the top at the end of the cook or slice it horizontally and stack it on a sandwich.

If you absolutely need bacon and toast with your eggs, you can cook it up in your air fryer.

If you have cooked a lot of bacon and eggs, you know that they all cook at different rates, so some staggering is involved, but it all works out nicely. The bacon takes up too much room to allow an egg-filled ramekin and a hash brown patty, but after five minutes it loses a good bit of fat, allowing the little basket to accommodate everyone with ease.

I don't get a summer tomato in the winter. If you have an air fryer, you can use it to destroy some tiny tomatoes and turn them into something truly delicious.

Fresh tomatoes can't be forced. cherry tomatoes are pretty decent any time of year, but they are not as good as a summer tomato. The air fryer is the next step in the evolution of heat and salt, and it is thanks to us humans that we are able to use heat and salt to improve our food. I am delighted to report that it does a bang-up job at reducing watery, bland tomatoes into an umami-rich, jammy mass.

Add charred peppers to your air fried Appetizers.

shishito peppers have never been a great challenge to cook. You can either cook them in a pan or broil them. They are ready to eat when you see charred bubbles. shishito peppers are easy to cook in an air fryer.

The combination of a quick sugar-and-salt brine and an even quicker stint in the air fryer makes this salmon the perfect weeknight snack.

You can coat a salmon filet with a mixture of two parts salt and one part sugar. After 15 minutes, rinse the fish under cold running water and pat it dry. Rub a little olive oil on both sides of the fist and cook in an air fryer for about 10 minutes, depending on the filet's size.

You can make lobster tails with an air fryer.

Don't be concerned if the air fryer is too aggressive for the sea bug. People cook lobster under crazy hot broiling elements all the time, and the little oven cooks them so quickly, they don't have time to dry out. The air fried lobster I had last night was very juicy and tender, which is pretty impressive when you consider the lobster's incredibly low fat content.

Air fried shallots are very hands-off, and are far less labor- and oil-intensive than traditionally fried shallots.

The procedure is simple: slice some shallots about a quarter of an inch thick, toss them with a dash of oil, and cook them in your air fryer until they are golden and crisp. They should be Salt them. Eat them. If you like it, repeat.

You just found your new favorite snack.

Fried capers are a salty, piquant joy. You can eat them as a snack, or you can sprinkle them over a salad, pasta, or a piece of fish. I end up eating them like popcorn.

The perfect canvas for experimenting with exciting spices is the crisp garbanzo beans.

Air fried chickpeas are easy to prepare, but choosing your seasoning is the most difficult part. Once you have that sorted, you just have to dump a can of garbanzo bean in a strainer and let them drain for a few minutes, then toss them into the basket of your air fryer so they can dry. If you let the excess liquid evaporate in the hot, swirling heat, it will make your chickpeas more receptive to oil, which will make them crispier and more delicious.

The air fryer helped me recreate The Golden Bowl I ate at Michael Stipe's restaurant in Athens, Georgia.

Tofu is one of those things that can be used in the air fryer. It seems like a waste of time and energy to wait 15 minutes for the oven to preheat, only to make six or so ounces of tofu. The amount of time I have to make lunch during the week is dependent on how hot the oven is and how long it takes to transform tofu into cubes.

The scallions are a perfect addition to the dish.

I like to mix the green parts with some cream cheese to make roasted scallion cream cheese. The lighter colored ends are great as a side or an add on, but they are great in sandwiches, wraps, and taco.

This broccoli is good for you.

Is it possible to make this in a regular oven? I like the air fryer because you can toss the broccoli with the maple bacon fat in the little basket instead of a bowl. I don't want the syrup mixture solidifying and sticking to the bowl when it's tossed in a cold mixing bowl. It is easier to shake the broccoli in a basket than it is to stir it in a hot oven.

I am good at cooking pumpkin seeds, but I am not good at carving pumpkins.

Pumpkin seeds are usually fine roasted. At their best, they are small bits of seasoned fiber. At their worst, they are bland. I brine things overnight in a mixture of beer and wine, because I like to take things a bit further and make them more interesting. The texture is taken care of by the air fryer.

When you need it most, this cookie is there for you.

The cookie is soft and doughy. You eat it with a spoon. It is perfect. You can make them at home by smashing dough into a pan and baking it in the oven, but you can also make a smaller version in your air fryer.
