Book Description | The air fryer is the newest must-have kitchen appliance, and it's easy to see why: favorite fried foods come out perfectly crispy and crunchy, using little to no oil, and have a fraction of the calories that their traditionally fried counterparts have, made in less time and with less mess. Air Fry Every Day shows you how to use your air fryer to create healthier fresh takes on comfort food classics, crowd-pleasing snacks, and kid-friendly dishes, such as buffalo wings, coconut shrimp, shoestring fries, stuffed blooming onions with lemon aioli, and spiced sweet potato wedges with garlic yogurt dip. You'll also find deliciously unexpected ways to put your air fryer to use in recipes such as golden bread crumb-crusted cider-brined pork chops, crispy air-fried rice, and beautifully bronzed whole heads of cauliflower. An air fryer is also incredibly versatile: with its powerful convection heating, it can bake, roast, and steam at superfast speeds, so in addition to craveworthy "fried" foods, you'll find recipes for roasted meats, breads, pizzas, and even desserts and sweet baked goods--you may never turn your oven on again. With recipes that are creative, fast, and foolproof, without sacrificing quality and taste, and including essential tips and techniques to maximize your air fryer's capabilities, Air Fry Every Day is the best reason why you should add this tool to your arsenal of kitchen gadgets |
