Foods that are much tastier cooked in an air fryer
Even if you don't want to make your own fries from scratch, frozen ones are perfect for heating up in an air fryer, especially if you are cooking for just one or two people.
For a couple of portions, cut two large, peeled potatoes into chips and soak them in very cold water for around 10 minutes (this will draw out the excess starch for a crispier result).
A whole chicken will cook much faster in an air fryer than in a conventional oven. Not only that, but air frying your chicken will also give you tastier results – think beautifully crispy skin and meat that's moist and tender
Heat the air fryer to 180ºC (350ºF). Take your chicken and rub some softened butter into the breast meat beneath the skin, then season well (or add your favourite dry rub).
For deliciously crisp marinated tofu you'd normally have to use a deep fryer, which can be a messy, unpleasant-smelling hassle. However, with an air fryer to hand, your problems are solved
Heat the air fryer to 200ºC (400ºF). Take the tofu out of the marinade, then toss it in cornflour seasoned with plenty of sea salt and black pepper. You can either put the tofu straight into the air fryer in a single layer
Air-fried halloumi fries make a great snack, cook very quickly and are just as melty, crispy and tasty as their deep-fried cousins. They're much healthier made in an air fryer, too.
