The main selling of an air fryer is basically, use little to no oil while cooking and you no longer have to get attacked by oil popping bubbles! You can essentially cut back on fat, save time, and cook all your dishes at once. Some models even have added features like a toaster oven and rotisserie so you can make your favourite dishes in so many ways while saving countertop space. It’s also not limited to just cooking, you can also bake your favourite sweet treats like muffins and cake pops!
We’ve put together 3 easy and tasty recipes you can make at home in minutes with an air fryer! These recipes all use a basic air fryer and with little oil or ghee. Let us know what’s your favourite!
1. Tempura Avocados
Tempura avocados or fired avocados are an appitizer classic. They are simple to create and perfect for your vegetarian and vegan friends!
This recipe is perfect for adding an extra crunch that you can’t get when you opt for the baking option. With the air fryer method, you don’t need to skimp on flavour, crunch and texture to get a healthier option in a pinch.
All you need are some ripe avocados, flour, oil (or Kissan Ghee), chilli powder, garlic powder, salt & pepper, and one egg. Also, you can use Kissan Fried Onions as a part of your coating mixture is a great way to add extra flavour and crunch to your avocados.
Let your air fryer to the rest in just 8 minutes!

Ok,this by far is the easiest and a definite crowd favourite and you don’t need that much time! Poutine is such a Canadian staple dish and you can make so many different varieties like our Butter Chicken Poutine, that the possibilities are endless!
To make your life easier you can use frozen fries, instead of making homemade ones, but honestly with an air fryer making homemade fried is not that hard or time-consuming. All you need are some Yukon potatoes, Kissan Curry Sauce, cheese curds, chilli pepper, salt & pepper, and some oil and your favourite toppings like diced chicken. You can also make it vegan friendly by swapping the cheese curds for vegan cheese and top it off with cauliflower bites instead of chicken.

Coat with your oil or ghee and your seasonings and place in air fryer tray at 380 degrees F for about 15 mintues. Skip this step if you are using frozen fries and smiply cook as you normally would. Make sure to salt, pepper and chilli powder your fires while they are hot so the oil can hold your seasonings.
