Airfryer healthy

The great health benefit of the Airfryer is of course the lack of frying oil. As everyone is hopefully clear, frying is not the slimmest way to prepare your food. Oil is more or less pure fat, and therefore contains no less than 900 calories per 100 ml. Even if you only eat a tablespoon, that's a good 100 calories on top of your meal.

Every reason to look for something else when you're trying to lose weight, so! The Airfryer does not add any calories with its hot air. The difference? A fried portion of French fries contains about 450 calories. A portion of fries from the Airfryer provides just under 200 calories. Less than half, in other words!

Other benefits Airfryer
-
And there are more reasons to buy an Airfryer. The convenience, for example. Where cleaning a deep fryer is a hell of a job, you will be done in no time with that Airfryer. It is also useful for small meals for which you do not want to heat up the entire oven. The Airfryer does not even need to preheat, so that saves a lot of time!
-
A third advantage is that you hardly smell the Airfryer. Where your house often stinks of frying for days, you hardly notice that the device is on. Finally, the thing is simply incredibly multifunctional. You can grill, bake and fry.

Many people hate oven chips. It never gets really crunchy enough, and often stays a bit pale. With the Airfryer, that problem is a thing of the past. Cut fries or use oven fries, and slide everything into the Airfryer for 15 minutes at 180 degrees. It is not more difficult! Of course you can also make vegetable fries or seasoned fries.
-
Of course you can use ready-made frikandels, but why not make them yourself? Mix 500 grams of sweet potato puree with 500 grams of minced chicken. Mix with 70 grams of buckwheat flour. Season with paprika, cumin, cayenne, coriander, nutmeg and a spoonful of mustard. Roll with frikandels, leave to stiffen in the freezer and bake for 10 minutes at 200 degrees.
-
Looking for a healthy variation on chicken nuggets? Boil a small cauliflower, grind and drain. Mix with 2 eggs, 100 grams of grated cheese and 50 grams of breadcrumbs. Season with garlic powder and paprika. Form nuggets and put them in some extra breadcrumbs for a nice crust. Bake at 180 degrees for 12 minutes.
-
Also for spring rolls the following applies again: buying is possible, making it yourself is more fun. Make a noodle filling, together with vegetables such as carrot, bean sprouts and mushrooms. You can also add chicken for chicken spring rolls. Season with soy sauce and roll up in some spring roll wrappers. Stick the sheets with beaten egg. Bake at 200 degrees for 4 minutes.
-
Arancini are risotto balls that remain considerably more flavorful if you don't fry them. For example, use leftover risotto. Take pieces of mozzarella and shape a golf ball-sized risotto round around each piece. Pass the balls one after the other through flour, egg and then breadcrumbs. Fry them for about 10 minutes at 200 degrees in the Airfryer.
-
You can of course make a luxurious egg for breakfast in the oven. The disadvantage: then you have a whole oven for some small containers. Even then the airfryer is a godsend! For example, mix your egg with ham and spinach, or with some cubes of tomato and cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Then slide it into the Airfryer until it has the desired firmness!
-
Quiche is another typical dish that most people use their oven for. However, with an Airfryer you are also ready in twenty minutes! Make a base with savory pie dough or with homemade quiche dough. Fill with vegetables and beaten eggs with cream. Sprinkle some cheese over the top if desired and bake at 180 degrees for 20 minutes.

Spread a piece of salmon with pesto and some olive oil. Add some cherry tomatoes or other vegetables if you want to grill them right away! Drizzle with lemon juice, salt and pepper. After 8 minutes at 200 degrees, everything is ready to be eaten! You can also serve the salmon with pasta or baked potatoes.
