Im no stranger to thecrisping prowessof the air fryer.
(Here aresome of my favoritemodels.)
Making dip in an air fryer isnotnormal.
Maybe at the end you move it to the oven for a broiled cheesy crust.
The PowerPod (Ninja’s name for the handheld convection engine) lifts on and off the cooking chamber.
That container is made of clear tempered glass.
Plus, both containers come with lids.Here’s my full Ninja Crispi review.
Making dip in an air fryer might seem unhinged, but there are benefits to this style of cooking.
It has the minimal clean-up of one-pot cooking, but its cooking from the top-down instead of the bottom-up.
Then top with cheese and put the PowerPod back on to melt it until browned and bubbly.
Your air fryer has just become a quick, efficient broiler.
No need to empty the dip into a new dishsimply serve it as-is.
Here are my favorite dips to make in the Crispi right now.
Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe
This dip is quick to make and almost too easy to eat.
The right buffalo sauce is key, so double-check you love the one youre using.
Lay the thinly sliced chicken breast onto the grate of the Ninja Crispi, sprinkle with salt and MSG.
Cook the chicken on bake mode for 10 minutes, or until cooked through but not too browned.
Slide the grate out from under the chicken, and remove it.
Shred the chicken with two forks directly in the Ninja Crispi container.
Cook it for another five minutes on bake mode.
The cheeses and yogurt should be super soft.
Mix everything together thoroughly and taste to see if you want more hot sauce.
Spread the dip out flat and top the dip with a little more shredded cheese.
Cook it for another three to five minutes on bake mode.
Sprinkle the green scallion slices over the top and serve.
Spread out the onion slices into the small Ninja Crispi container.
(Do not use the grate.)
Drizzle the oil over the top along with the salt.
Break the butter up into chunks over the onions.
Cook the onions for about 30 minutes on bake mode, stirring every three to five minutes.
(Caramelizing onions takes time no matter how you do it.)
This step is important so the onions cook evenly.
Some of the ends will still burn and thats totally OK. Itsactually a good thing.
Stir in the sour cream, yogurt, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and MSG.
Extra-Meaty Seven-Layer Dip Recipe
This dip is great for a party.
Plug in the Pod and broil the cheese just before serving.
This will help brown the meat and keep it tender.
Put the meat into the container of the Ninja Crispi without the grate.
I’m considering the large container for next time.
When the meat looks mostly browned and nearly finished cooking through, stir in the salt and seasoning packet.
Finish cooking the meat completely.
Stir some olives into the meat.
Then top the meat with more olives.
Spread the refried beans over the top of the meat.
If using the small container, gently press the dip down so its below the rim of the dish.
You dont want the cheese to touch the PowerPod.
