Theres no shame in eating frozen prepared food.
Its like they were all born for air frying.
The concept is to make the average frozen bite look party perfect by adding a couple well-planned components.
Think of the sauce as a chance to bring out balancing flavors like acidity, salinity, or spice.
Just aim for something that contrasts with the main texture.
Here are a few of my favorites:
1.
Fancy fish nuggets
Who knew you could make fish sticks or fish nuggets look cute?
Any fish product that has a crispy breaded outside will work just fine.
Pop those in the air fryer to crisp up.
Meanwhile, slice some red onion as thinly as you possibly can.
You dont need much.
Add it to a small bowl and cover the slices in vinegar to pickle them quickly.
I spread some ofMelindas Jalepeno Ranchsauce onto a plate in a very fancy fashion.
Heat up the falafel balls in the air fryer according to the package directions.
Meanwhile, skewer cherry tomato halves and salty Kalamata olives onto as many toothpicks as you need.
Blend feta cheese crumbles into a cup of plain yogurt to make a tangy, creamy sauce.
Stab a tomato-olive toothpick into each bite.
Drizzle with soy sauce, or a sweet and sour vinegar dumpling sauce if you have it.
Add a sprinkle of crispy fried garlic and serve.
(My deepest apologies, they were eaten before I took a picture.)
Take this as an invitation to have some fun.
For a bit of sweetness and acidity I drizzled on a balsamic glaze.
You dont have to bread the cutlets, roll the meatballs, or deep fry anything today.
Take the assist from your freezer section, and add your homemade touch for the win.
