Getting Started
- For best results with protein, ensure your air fryer is preheated to 190°C (375°F) for at least 5 minutes before cooking. This helps achieve a proper sear.
- When air-frying avocado, keep cooking times short—typically 3-5 minutes at 180°C (350°F)—to warm it through and slightly crisp the edges without making it mushy. Brush lightly with oil first.
- Pat protein sources like chicken, shrimp, or tofu dry before seasoning and air frying. Excess moisture inhibits browning and crisping.
- Utilize the healthy fats in avocado to complement leaner proteins. A dollop of fresh avocado adds richness and satiety to air-fried chicken or fish without extra cooking.
