Air Frying Sweet Potato Wedges

In today's post, I am going to share how to air fry sweet potato wedges.

I grew up in a country where sweet potatoes are one of the major cash crops so I have grown up loving them.  Sweet potatoes were like bread for most families during breakfast.

In this case, you will be cooking them in a healthier way as the air fryer allows us to cook using less oil if we want to.

Your health is more important to us so we endeavor to provide recipes that use less oil.

To prepare this we need the following ingredients:

Ingredients

• 2 sweet potatoes. These should be cut lengthwise into wedges
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chili flakes
• salt and pepper, to taste
• Sea salt, to taste

Instructions

• The first thing is to preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
• Put the potato wedges into a pan or pot of salted water.
• Boil the contents. Once the boiling point is reached, you need to drain the salted water.
• Then put the potato wedges into a bowl.
• Brush the potato wedges with some oil or use a spoon to spread it over the wedges. If you use a spoon then you have to mix them to ensure that the oil has covered the wedges evenly.
• Then add the chili flakes, salt, and pepper and stir the contents.
• Place the potatoes into the air fryer basket and cook for approximately 25 minutes. Check after 10 minutes and shake the contents to make sure that they are cooked evenly.
• Cook until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
• Lastly, sprinkle with sea salt before serving.
• Enjoy!

How To Air Fry Tilapia Fish Properly and Enjoy it!

I like fish very much and when I bought my Salter Airfryer the first thing I ever did was to air fry tilapia fish I bought from one of our local markets. I did not know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised by what came out of the air fryer.

The fish was well cooked and it tasted even better than my oven cooked fish. It was also well cooked on all sides.

The air fryer also made it easy for me to turn over the fish during the cooking process due to the non-coating nature of the cooking basket.

I can, therefore, encourage anyone to try air frying tilapia or any fish and you won't regret it.

Below is an air fryer tilapia recipe that you can use to create your own yummy tilapia dish.

Ingredients needed

• 3 or 4 tilapia fillets
• fish seasoning or any seasoning of your choice
• vegetable oil.
• salt 

Instructions:

• First, you need to preheat the air fryer to about 400°F.
• Brush the tilapia fillets on all sides with the vegetable oil or olive oil if you like.
• Sprinkle the fillets with the fish seasoning of your choice.
• Sprinkle some salt on all sides of the fish fillets.
• Place the fish in the non-stick cooking basket
• Cook for approximately 10 minutes.
• Halfway through the cooking turn the fish.
• After 10 minutes check to see if it is well cooked. If not cook again for a few minutes until you are satisfied that it is well fried.
• Serve and enjoy your yummy fish fillets.

How to Air Fry Whole Tilapia

While I enjoy eating fried fish fillets, I must confess that I prefer buying and frying it whole with all the bones, etc. 

Maybe it is because I grew up in a country where it was rare to find fillets. Therefore when I go to a market I am more likely to buy whole fish than fillets.

To cook this I use more or less the same ingredients mentioned above except that in my case it is a whole fish. I however rarely air fry it whole as I prefer to split the fish into two parts.

The instructions for this are as follows:

• Preheat the air fryer to about 400°F as above.
• Airbrush the fish with olive oil and also add some fish seasoning and salt.
• Then place the fish in the cooking basket.
• The difference is in the time it takes to cook as in my case I usually cook for about 45 minutes.
• Turn the fish halfway.
• Check to see if it is well cooked.
• Enjoy!

I should point out that I have never been disappointed when I air fry tilapia fish. I actually prefer to air fry than to cook my fish in my oven. The air fryer makes sure that the fish is well cooked on all sides.

How to Air Fry Frozen Corn Dogs

In this post we will learn how to air fry frozen corn dogs. Considering the few minutes it takes to airfry them I would imagine that it would be better to do it at home than getting it at a fast food restaurant. 

As a busy parent It should be easier to air fry frozen corn dogs at home for your children as it only takes about 7 minutes of my time. This is especially true when you get your kid from school and they are looking for a quick snack before they for after school swimming lessons etc. 

One of the main advantages of air frying your food is that it takes less oil and therefore provides us with more healthy meals for the family and children. You also have the privilege of using a timer that stops the cooking once the set time is finished.

Ingredients:

• Frozen corn dogs

Method

• Put the corn dogs in an air fryer basket

• Set the fryer at 390 degrees

• Cook for seven minutes

Reasons for learning how to cook frozen corn dogs in an air fryer

Although corn dogs can be prepared using an oven or microwave, you must take into consideration the availability of time and intended texture. When using an oven, it takes between 10 to 15 minutes to preheat the oven and another 15 minutes to bake the corn dogs. 

It takes a few minutes while using a microwave. However, the corn dog will shrink inside a battered elastic shell taking out the fun while eating.

Deep fryer is another option when preparing corn dogs. The deep-fried corn will taste fantastic, but it not recommended for those who are trying to limit fat and calorie count. 

Apart from adding fat and calories, a deep fryer is costly when measuring the oil and heating the fryer before starting to cook.

When using an air fryer, it is not a must that you preheat the fryer. It also takes approximately seven minutes to have a tasty corn dog, cooked evenly with a crispy texture. 

Besides, it is not necessary to use cooking oil while using an air fryer. Therefore, there is no need to add harmful fats and calories.

The outcome is a fast, yummy meal loved by the children. 

The meal is best served with ketchup and mustard. You can also pair the meal with a healthy yogurt to make sure that the children get their nutrients.

Below is a video that shows how this can be done.
