By: Abbey Susel, Student Nutritionist You can't go on social media these days without air fryer recipes making their way into your feed. Air fryers have been all the rage for about a year or so, and for good reason. They're inexpensive, easy to use, and can give foods a fried taste & texture seemingly without the oil. How do they work? And are they actually good for you? Let's take a look. How does it work?
What can you make?You can make just about anything in an air fryer! This includes... - Frozen foods - Sweet treats - Fresh vegetables & fruits - Raw meat ... and so much more. Pros
Cons1. Small size
The Bottom LineAir frying is only healthier than oven-roasting, grilling, or pan-searing if less oil is used. However, it is healthier than traditional deep-frying, which uses significantly more oil. Aside from oil usage, air frying is only as healthy as the foods you put in it -- processed or frozen foods don't magically become healthier if they're cooked in an air fryer. If you prefer the taste and texture of fried foods, use an air fryer to achieve crisp and golden results right from your kitchen. Have we convinced you to jump on the air fryer wave? Here are some recipes to get you started.
