Mastering Your Air Fryer: A Vegan's Guide

Step 1: Understand Your Air Fryer

Every air fryer is different. Familiarize yourself with the settings and functions of your specific model. Read the manual thoroughly and understand the temperature settings, timer, and other features.

Step 2: Preheat Your Air Fryer

Before cooking, preheat your air fryer for a few minutes. This ensures an even cooking temperature from the start. Most air fryers will need to preheat for about 5 minutes.

Step 3: Prepare Your Ingredients

Prepare your vegan ingredients for air frying. This might include washing, chopping, seasoning, or marinating. Remember, smaller pieces will cook faster and more evenly.

Step 4: Arrange Ingredients in the Basket

Place your ingredients in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding the basket; the air needs to circulate around the food for it to cook evenly and become crispy.

Step 5: Set the Time and Temperature

Set the cooking time and temperature according to the recipe you're following. If you're unsure, start with a lower temperature and add time as needed. You can always cook it a bit more, but you can't undo overcooking.

Step 6: Shake or Flip Halfway Through

Halfway through the cooking time, open the air fryer and shake the basket or flip the ingredients. This ensures even cooking and browning.

When the timer goes off, check your food for doneness. If it's not ready, simply add a few more minutes.
