Air fryer is an absolute game changer when it comes to cooking these popular foods. These deep fried foods were going off people's diets due to the excessive Calories and the mess of deep frying. With air fryer, you can enjoy the same crispness with very low oil. A real game changer in cooking.

French Fries

By far the most popular snack or food, french fries is a favorite of just about everyone. I must say, the fries turn out as good if not better than the greasy deep-fried version. In fact, I haven't made french fries any other way since a decade now.

I have always enjoyed the lovely toasted taste of fried nuts. You can roast them on the skillet but they are beautifully and evenly toasted when air fried. It takes just about 5 minutes too. So perfect. Have a batch ready for munching.

I really hate the deep fried and salt laden chips that come in packets. From potato, sweet potato to yuca, beet and plantain, all air fried chips turn out so good and guilt free. Do try them at home.
