Why We love making appetizers in the air fryer
Here are 7 reasons why we love making appetizers and finger foods in the air frier
- Zero Wastage- you don't have to dump the oil that you deep fried those crab Rangoons in!
- Cheaper- What could be cheaper than using zero oil? Fine at max spray ⅛th of a teaspoon of oil.
- Crispier- Ever had soggy oil soaked fries? Air fryer will never do that to you!
- Quick - You literally do not even have to preheat it on most days!
- Precise -No heating the oil and sticking a stick in wondering if it's bubbling enough!(isn't that a hack to check if the oil is hot enough to fry? You set the temperature and the air fryer will do it's job!
- Cleaner & Lesser Wash up - Most days I toss the appetizer in the "seasoning" in the same basket as i air fry in. So really, I am only using one "bowl" for the whole thing.
- Small- Yes there are bigger air fryers with trays and what not. And they do look smashing but...This one air fryer that I have had since 10 years fits any and every nook.
A Quick Note on Air Fryer
I have been using Phillips Air fryer for the past 10 years! Yes...I was one of the early converts!
It has served me very well. But this the Air fryer my brother uses and he loves it. It has 3 levels and you can use it to dehydrate and make a whole chicken!
Some amazing Dips to go with these Appetizers
now that you have an awesome list of appetizers to choose from, you have only one thing left to make!
The dips!
You could just serve ketchup and some mayo and call it a day and no one will judge you! but but...Hear me out.
The experience of licking the dip off your fingers while eating a salty appetizer is just too amazing to not experiance!
Forget the guest...but make it for yourself..You will really love them!
