My husband really wants an air fryer, I'm just not sure what we will use it for, hit me with your vegetarian air fryer ideas please! 🙌

I've only had mine a few weeks but Quesadillas are great in the air fryer.

And Roast potatoes, so any roast veg dish.

I made a great frittata today. Cauliflower cheese last week. Excellent for potatoes.

I use foil trays. Only had it a couple of weeks, already love it.
Anything you would put in the oven. Anything you want to cook from frozen (but not in plastic, transfer it to metal or Pyrex or heat-proof ceramic).

Every type of roast veg. Great as a dish in itself, but also quick for side dishes.

So, for example, if I’m making a vegetarian curry on the stove top, now I can also air fry some spiced cauliflower to add at the end, and do the naan bread.

Other stuff like melted Camembert, anything breadcrumbed, sometimes make ‘meatballs’ which need oven baking instead of pan frying as they’re delicate, quick to do then add to sauce at the end.

Any bread products- frozen croissants, part-baked rolls etc.

Edit: thought of more! Halloumi and tofu. Amazing to get crispy.

Quick jacket potatoes - 10 mins in microwave to soften & less than 10 in air fryer to crisp up.

An air fryer is just a small oven, so whatever you cook in your oven, you can cook in an air fryer.

Ah thank you guys this is so helpful! How did you work out the timings for things? Side note, wonder how long it will be before packaging comes with air fryer cooking instructions?!

Lots of food already comes with aitfryer timings

In my experience it's generally about half the oven time but varies a lot depending on how much is in the drawer. You can also just take the drawer out for a quick check to see how stuff is getting on.

Home made Falafels and marinated tofu are AMAZING in the air fryer.
