Youve finally purchased your first air fryer.
Let me start by saying, Im so happy for you.
This small countertop convection oven is about to be your new favorite appliance.
So what should you cook first?
Here are the best things to pop in the air fryer as soon as possible.
Potatoes do particularly well in the air fryer.
Its like making quick Texas toastcrisp and oily in the best way possible.
To make delicious fried bread, generously spread fat on both sides of a slice of bread.
Peppers
I adore roasted red peppers.
Theyre great in dips, tossed in salads, or blended into soups.
Luckily, the air fryer cooks up tender roasted peppers in a fraction of the time.
Youll have perfectly blistered peppers ready to use.
Air fry them at 375F for 12 to 15 minutes.
Hot dogs
I cant say that hot dogs are difficult to make.
I suggest making diagonal slices all around the sides of your dogs so they brown on the edges.
Well now you basically have a tiny oven on steroids.
Canned mushrooms
My favorite air fryer snack lately is themushroom chip.
Theyre full of umami and as crispy as a pork rind.
Just drain them and toss with a light coating of oil.
Air fry them for a few minutes at 390F until crisp and brown.
The vortex heat cooks these sea creatures so quickly they dont have time to dry out.
Luckily the air fryer allows you torevive this nearly defeated chicken.
Your fried chicken will be better than ever.
the air fryer can have this on your plate in record time.
