13 Air Fryer Hacks You Should Know
BY SAMANTHA MAXWELL
Roast Coffee Beans
To roast coffee beans in your air fryer, simply arrange them in a single layer, set the timer for about 40 minutes, and let them cool before using.
Egg Bites
To make easy egg bites, simply break an egg into heat-safe silicone molds, add whatever ingredients you’d like, and put the molds into the air fryer for about 12 minutes.
Once they’re done, they should pop out of the silicone molds easily. You can eat them right away or freeze them to have them on hand for an easy, on-the-go breakfast.
Grilled Cheese
An air fryer can produce an ultra-crispy grilled cheese without as much fat. To start, place the sandwich open-faced in the air fryer.
Cooking it this way can result in toastier bread, with more uniformly melted cheese. For best results, opt for cheeses like American, cheddar, or brie.
Canned Peaches
Ditch the grill and cook peaches in the air fryer year-round for a savory yet subtly sweet result. They will be slightly crispy and maybe even slightly browned.
Additionally, you should feel free to add other sweet ingredients, like brown sugar, to lend your air-fried canned peaches even more flavor.
Cake
To make a cake in your air fryer, you'll need to make some adjustments depending on how your specific air fryer works. They work partially by drying ingredients from within.
About halfway through baking, open your air fryer, and take a peek at the cake. If the top seems to be getting too dark or crisp, cover it with aluminum foil to trap moisture in.
