What is the best thing you have ever made in your air fryer?
I was a full-on air fryer doubter for years. I thought it was just another trend. I finally gave in recently and… yeah, I get it now. I’m very late to the party, but I’ve officially crossed over. What I love most is reheating leftovers without a microwave. I also like being able to cook things without dunking them in oil and still getting decent texture. So far I’ve mostly stuck to the basics. Vegetables, chicken, frozen stuff, reheating random meals. All solid, but now I’m ready to push it a bit. I keep seeing people say they make full meals or main dishes in their air fryer, not just sides or snacks, and even bake. I’ve looked up recipes, but it’s hard to know which ones are actually worth trying. I bought a pretty standard model after comparing options online. Nothing high-end. So for people who really use their air fryer, what’s the best thing you’ve ever made in it? Like the dish that made you go, “okay, this thing stays."
