"Air fryers are the modern miracle that fried food lovers, health enthusiasts, and hurried home cooks can all get behind. Imparting a deep-fried texture to everything from french fries to chicken fingers without the mess or the grease, an air fryer will come in handy for any otherwise fried meal you have in mind. And the classic Mexican dish that would benefit from the air fryer is chiles rellenos."
"Our homemade recipe skips the deep fryer and opts for the oven, which may save you the greasy mess but takes even longer. An air fryer will cut down on cooking times, simplify food prep, and achieve an irresistible texture and flavor without cooking oil. Consequently, the chile relleno will be significantly lower in saturated and trans fats than a deep-fried version."
"To roast the chiles and "fry" them once you've breaded them, you'll need to preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. It'll take around 10 minutes to blister the peppers in the air fryer, flipping them halfway through. Once they've cooled, remove the blistered layer of skin, make a slit lengthwise, and remove the seeds before stuffing them with the filling of your choice. Then, dredge the stuffed chiles through corn starch, egg wash, and panko breadcrumbs. Place them in the air fryer"
Chiles rellenos are roasted, stuffed, breaded, and traditionally deep-fried, involving multiple cooking methods and long preparation. Air fryers can blister pepper skins and crisp breading using convection heat, reducing saturated and trans fats compared with deep frying. Preheat to 400°F to blister peppers in about 10 minutes, flipping once. After peeling and seeding, make a slit, stuff with cheese or meat, then dredge in corn starch, egg wash, and panko breadcrumbs before air frying. The air fryer shortens cooking time, simplifies prep, avoids oven roasting, and yields a textured, flavorful chile relleno without large amounts of cooking oil.
