Getting Started

Ensure proteins are patted completely dry before marinating in ACV to promote better browning and crispiness in the air fryer. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary to allow hot air to circulate freely around each piece, ensuring even cooking and maximum crispness, especially for vegetables.
When using ACV in glazes or sauces, add any low-carb sweeteners (like erythritol) sparingly and taste as you go. Apply glazes during the last 3-5 minutes of cooking to prevent any potential burning.
For vegetables like Brussels sprouts or cabbage, a light toss with olive oil and ACV before air frying helps achieve a tender interior and crispy, caramelized exterior. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for optimal texture.
