What can you make with an airfryer?

With an airfryer, you fry without oil. If you make fries in the airfryer, it's best to choose oven fries or special airfryer fries. Other types are also possible, but these often turn out to be less crunchy and more dry. For some variation, you can also make sweet potato fries in your airfryer.

To prepare nice airfryer snacks like hamburgers or croquettes, we recommend to only use the version for the oven or airfryer. Otherwise, the snacks might not brown or fall apart. In addition, you can make vegetarian snacks like falafel or cheese bites.

In the airfryer, you can prepare potato croquettes, potato slices, or small potatoes. But you can also cook sweet potato in your airfryer. They can be sliced, freshly bought, or frozen, so it's all possible. Try some things out with the cooking time and temperature, and add some oil for more flavor.

You can use your airfryer for pretty much any type of meat. You can make juicy chicken breasts, meatballs, or drumsticks. Keep the temperature in mind, because a thin piece of meat gets dry when the temperature is too high. Larger pieces of meat should come too close to the heating element. You don't have to use oil when you cook meat, but this does make the meat crispy.

You can also prepare fish or shellfish in your airfryer. Especially breaded fish gets nice and crispy without any oil. Put a nice piece of salmon or codfish in the airfryer and marinate beforehand for extra flavor and a crispy crust. Shellfish like shrimps or langoustines are also just as suitable for the airfryer.

It's easy to roast vegetables in your aifryer. Use firm vegetables like eggplant, carrots, pumpkin, bell pepper, or zucchini, for example. Cut them into large pieces and marinate them in some oil and some salt or spices before you put them in the airfryer, if you want.

You can also use the airfryer for baking recipes. It allows you to bake a cake, a pie, or a sheet cake. Keep in mind that the airfryer is smaller than a regular fan oven. That makes it difficult to bake an apple pie for 12 people. The same goes for cookies. It works great, but there's little space for many cookies at the same time.

Do you want to bake off bread rolls or croissants? You can also do that in the airfryer. This way, you can enjoy a nice fresh breakfast during the weekend. It's also possibly to only warm up products, if you don't set the temperature too high. This way, it looks like your sausage roll came straight from the bakery.

You can even make oliebollen. Use an oliebollen mix that's suitable for the oven. Make sure you use a recipe to make oliebollen in the airfryer. The dough can't be too runny. Spray the oliebollen with oil and bake them in the airfryer. This way, you'll have delicious and more healthy oliebollen during the holidays.

Use the special Philips app NutriU for recipes for your airfryer. There are a lot of possibilities. You can choose from sweet or savory snacks, or from complete meals.

Do you find it inconvenient that you have to set the right temperature and time per meal? In that case, an airfryer with automatic cooking programs is a good choice. This way, you can switch to the correct cooking programs for grilling chicken or baking muffins, for example.
