Air Fryer Bang Bang Broccolini

Bang bang sauce already has a kick to it, but if you really like the heat, bump up the amount of Sriracha or add an extra drizzle before serving. For an over-the-top addition, drizzle with a little mayo too (trust us!).

The air fryer has an uncanny ability to transform humble vegetables into crisp, crave-worthy dinner sides. We’ve had success with air fryer sweet potato wedges, potato chips, and frozen French fries, so it should come as absolutely no surprise that air frying a whole russet potatoes transforms it into one of the best baked potatoes you’ll ever have in your life.

The air fryer is basically a countertop convection oven, meaning the high fan speed and concentrated heat makes baked potatoes that are fluffy and tender on the inside and shatteringly crisp on the outside. If you’re the type to eat all the fluffy filling of a baked potato and leave the skins for the compost pile, air fried baked potatoes will change that forever. Here’s how to make the very best baked potatoes in the air fryer.

A few months ago, we took on the challenge of testing all the ways to make a baked potato in search of a clear winner. We tried the microwave, the grill, and even the slow cooker, but ultimately settled on the oven as our favorite. Many readers, however, pointed out that we hadn’t tried the air fryer — and if we had, we may have landed on a different winner. So we gave it a go.

After air frying my first batch, I wholeheartedly agree — if it’s crispy skins your after, the air fryer method is far-and-away the winner. It’s not any faster than baking a potato in the oven, but it’s foolproof — you get tender, fluffy insides and crisp skins every time. If you own an air fryer, I highly recommend giving it a go, too.

Prepare the potatoes the same way you would for baking: rinse, scrub, and dry them, prick them all over with a fork, drizzle with oil, and season with salt. The recipe below is written for a standard air fryer — those in the 3-quart capacity range — so it only calls for two potatoes. If you’ve got a larger capacity air fryer, feel free to double or triple the recipe — just make sure that the potatoes have at least an inch between them to guarantee those crispy skins.

The high fan speed and concentrated heat of the air fryer makes baked potatoes that are fluffy and tender on the inside and shatteringly crisp on the outside.

Ingredients

• 2

  medium russet potatoes (8 to 10 ounces each)

• 1 teaspoon

  neutral oil, such as peanut or vegetable

• 1/2 teaspoon

  kosher salt, plus more for serving

• Butter and freshly ground black pepper, for serving

Instructions

1. Heat the air fryer to 375°F for at least 10 minutes. Meanwhile, rinse, scrub, and dry 2 medium russet potatoes. Use a fork to prick the potatoes in a few places. Drizzle the potatoes with 1 teaspoon neutral oil and rub with your hands to coat the potatoes. Season the potatoes with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt.

2. Place the potatoes in the preheated air fryer. Roast until the potatoes can be easily pierced with a paring knife, about 40 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the air fryer with tongs, then cut each one lengthwise to split. Serve with butter, salt, and pepper, or as desired.

What can be cooked in an air grill, simple recipes for dishes

Once you try to cook on an air grill, you will not be able to refuse it. It is so convenient, versatile and practical that it can be compared to a compact size convection oven. In an air grill, you can smoke, and cook pastries, and stew, and cook. And all this without the addition of fat and oil.

How to cook with an Airfryer?

Thousands of dishes are prepared on the airfryer at home. Just before starting cooking, you should study its main capabilities and features. The most important thing in it is the cover, in which the heating system, control panel and fan are built. A glass flask plays the role of an oven or chamber. In this flask, the process of cooking takes place. When the device is in operation, a halogen lamp or heating element heats the air inside the flask to the set temperature, and the fan circulates. nine0003

Modern aerogrills can not only bake meat, cook cereals and soups, but also dry fruits and berries, smoke foods or preserve them.

There are several modes for preparing different types of food. Modern air grills can not only bake meat, cook cereals and soups, but also dry fruits and berries, smoke food or preserve them.

An interesting feature of cooking is that fat is rendered from meat and poultry and possible additives that some producers may use. All the liquid drains neatly into a separate bowl (if you cook food on a wire rack). nine0003

Advantages of the device that make food tastier and cooking more enjoyable:

• multifunctionality;
• you can cook in any dish, except for plastic and wooden ones;
• no need to add oil or fat;
• simplicity and speed of preparation.

Airfryer is used instead of an oven, toaster, grill, frying pan, roaster, double boiler and other kitchen appliances. It can defrost and reheat food. Thanks to its compactness, it saves kitchen space, and you can also take it with you on the road. nine0003

Food in clay pots is especially tasty - cereals, sour cream, milk, soups, potatoes and mushrooms taste like they are cooked in a real Russian oven. Meat, fish and poultry can be baked on skewers or on a grill.

It is important for every housewife that food does not burn in the air grill at the right temperature. You can set the operating mode and go about your business. Due to the fan, each ingredient will be cooked evenly. This is especially convenient when cooking in breadcrumbs, as they usually burn on the pan. nine0003

The secret of making breaded cutlets is as follows: prepared semi-finished products or homemade cutlets are smeared with a little oil and baked on a wire rack for 10 minutes on each side. Wings or kebabs are prepared in the same way.

How to use the Airfryer?

All flask accessories included. Before cooking, you need to place in it (depending on the recipe) either a baking sheet, or a wire rack, or a heat-resistant pan. If space allows, you can place several dishes at once. It is better to cook a whole bird, large pieces of meat or fish on the lower grate. nine0003

Before the start of the working process, the temperature mode, cooking time and air circulation intensity are set. A bonus for the cook is the opportunity to observe the whole process through a transparent flask. After cooking is complete, be sure to wash the appliance.

What to cook?

What can be cooked in an air grill at home will take a very long time to list. The main types of culinary goodies include cooking recipes:

• smoked; nine0018
• grill;
• pizzas;
• casseroles;
• champignons;
• vegetables;
• baked vegetables and meat;
• soups and cereals.

Cured meats are interesting and tasty. At home, with the help of an air grill, you can get a rich and special aroma of smoked meats. Experienced chefs advise using alder shavings or "liquid smoke" for the best effect.

To cook smoked fish, cook it as usual: wash it, rub it with salt, brush it with “liquid smoke” and leave it to soak for an hour. After that, we tie it with a rope and lower it into the flask on the grate. The baking temperature for mackerel is set at 180 ^o C, for carp and other types of fish - about 150 ^o C. Cooking time is 30 minutes.

For the preparation of smoked meat, the same technology is used as for fish: we wash the meat, rub it with salt, process it with “liquid smoke” and leave it to marinate for an hour. Put the alder shavings into the heated grill and put the meat with the addition of a small amount of water. The dish is cooked for 30 minutes at a temperature of 240 ^o C with medium fan speed. nine0003

The most unusual dish cooked in an air grill will be homemade sprats. To do this, you need: 500 g of sprat sprat, vegetable oil, bay leaf, pepper, salt and alder sawdust. The cooking technology is simple: the processed sprat without entrails and head is salted and poured with oil. The fish is laid out in a bowl in layers and placed on the lower grate. Alder shavings are poured under it.
