Getting Started
- **Even Browning**: Cut cabbage into uniform wedges or shreds. For wedges, ensure they are not too thick (1-inch is ideal) to allow for even cooking and crisping.
- **Prevent Overcrowding**: Air fry in batches if necessary. Overcrowding the basket lowers the temperature and steams the cabbage instead of crisping it. Leave space for air circulation.
- **Seasoning Adhesion**: Toss cabbage thoroughly with oil and seasonings before placing it in the air fryer. A thin layer of oil helps spices adhere and promotes better caramelization.
- **Cross-Contamination**: If your air fryer is also used for gluten-containing foods, thoroughly clean the basket and any accessories before preparing gluten-free cabbage to prevent cross-contamination.
