Air-fryer Recipes from 517 Magazine Readers and Staff

Each month, 517 Magazine surveys readers on our social media channels and even in person when we can on various food-related topics. Many of our polls are related to restaurants so that we can share support with these local establishments that really need us.

For our April issue, however, we touched on the popularity of air fryers. From brands to favorite foods to try and even some “fails,” we covered most of the results in our April edition of 517 Magazine.

But there were some yummy-sounding recipes in our poll results, and we thought we’d share a few here. Please remember that air-frying times can vary.

Sweet-Potato Fries from Linda Fragge-Kahler

Ingredients:

Sweet-potato fry cuts (bagged or cut yourself)

Olive oil

Coarse salt

Crushed, dried rosemary

What to do:

Use a pestle and mortar to crush your dried rosemary, set aside.

Lightly coat your fries with olive oil.

Lightly salt with coarse salt and sprinkle rosemary.

Fry times vary based on the unit and size of fries — it can take up to 20 minutes.

Reader Dina E. loves salmon in her air fryer. She uses a touch of olive oil with lemon garlic and Old Bay seasoning. Reader Ali K. said she loved Bang Bang Brussels sprouts and sausage, so we did some digging to find a recipe for that from the Cooking Channel.

There’s certainly something behind the air-fryer craze that makes it sustainable. It easily provides that “crisp” that sometimes you just can’t get in the oven — and, of course, it requires way less (if not any) of the oil that you would need for a regular fryer. That saves calories and expense.

Happy air frying!
