Best non airfry uses of your air fryer?

[Anonymous]

We received a Ninja Air Fryer for Christmas. I can’t return it but and not really interested in fried or “healthy” fried food. What else cooks well in the air fryer?

Roast vegetables

It’s a tiny convection oven. Anything you want to bake can be accomplished in it. We use it primarily for steaks and chicken. It’s less messy. Some also have dehydration setting for making crisps, dried fruit, crackers.

You might need smaller bakeware made for your model if you venture to cakes.

I make toast / croutons in mine; roast veggies (tomatoes, okra, corn, brussels sprouts). My cousin wraps hot dogs in bacon and cooks them in the air fryer.

Reheat pizza

Agree with roasted veggies. We’ve done carrots, onions, asparagus, Brussels sprouts and potatoes. Definitely saves time.

Other options that have all turned out well: sausage, bacon, pizza, fries or tots, and lamb kebabs.

I have a pan accessory for cakes, but I haven’t tried that yet.

I’d love to cook salmon. Do you have a recommendation for time & temp?

You don't use oil with an air fryer. It works great on so many things.

I use it to heat or reheat anything that I don’t want soggy, so leftover pizza, egg rolls for the kids, etc. Shrimp, salmon, cod, etc are amazing in it. Try roasted potatoes, Brussel sprouts, etc. I hate how much room it takes and wish I didn’t love it, but I use it a lot

I cook boneless, skinless chicken breasts in mine. I season them with a spice blend - no oil, no butter, just the spices. They are so juicy. Anytime I cook chicken breasts in my oven, they are dry and rubbery.

Love this. What time and temp do you recommend?

I cook all kinds of things in there. For our small family (2 adults, one kid), it goes a great job with vegetables of all kinds, as well as with all the proteins. Just google your favorite ingredients with air fryer.

Add me to the air fryer fan club (and I'm not using mine to replicate fried food, except chicken nuggets for my kids).

Amazing for vegetables, though I suggest par-cooking most to ensure they're cooked in the middle so as to allow for perfect crunchiness outside before burning. Definitely our go-to for anything we would roast in the oven: broccoli, cauliflower, brussels, potatoes, carrots...

Second the suggestion for salmon, and for heating/crisping leftover pizza.

Anything I pan saute or oven bake I put in the air fryer and its better. Makes awesome french fries too.
