Air Fryer Cooking

An air fryer is like a small convection oven. Air fryers cook food by a mechanical fan that circulates the hot air around the food at high speed, cooking the food and producing a crispy outer layer.

While not required, air fryer parchment papers are helpful to keep foods from sticking.
