You see, if you sprinkle dry seasonings directly onto your food, the hot circulating air for which the air fryer is known, can blow the seasonings off your food, or even burn them. But when mixed with oil, they stick better, creating a more consistent and delicious result. Oil also helps in heat distribution. When food is lightly coated in oil that you've infused with spices or herbs, the surface crisps up more evenly, reducing the chance of burning some parts while leaving others undercooked.
@bakedleanHigh-Protein Blueberry Donut Holes 🍩🫐 Here's how to make them: ½ cup cottage cheese. 1/2 cup blueberries. Mix with ½ cup almond flour and ¼ cup sweetener to form a dough. Divide into 6 pieces. Roll into balls-roll well so they hold together! **You need these dry! Strain the cheese. Dry the blueberries if frozen. Or add more flour. They can't be overy wet. Air fry at 360°F for 8 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and devour. 🔹 Crispy on the outside 🔹 Soft and gooey inside 🔹 Packed with flavor, not guilt #BlueberryDonutHoles #HighProteinDessert #AirFryerRecipes #MacroFriendly #HealthyBaking #CottageCheeseRecipes
In general, the higher the fan speed, expect more browning or crisping on the surface as the air draws across the surface and steals the moisture—air fryers excel at creating crispy food.
