Air Fryer Recipes Featuring Bay Leaf

While not a primary ingredient for direct consumption, bay leaves are potent aromatics that significantly enhance air-fried dishes. The air fryer's rapid, circulating heat effectively extracts their distinctive, warm notes, infusing them into proteins and vegetables. This method ensures a balanced, deep flavor profile without overpowering the main components.
