Ah, fall. The temperature is crisp, the falling leaves are crisp … and our food is crisp, too! This season, we’re all about delicious and nutritious dishes made in our air fryer with the help of WeightWatchers Coach and busy mom of four Emily Bjerkness. For Emily, there are many reasons to love an air fryer—not only does it cook food quickly, it’s also great for smaller batches and fits conveniently on your kitchen counter. Perhaps most importantly, though, it makes food crispy with less oil, so that’s less WeightWatchers Points!
In fact, Emily says it’s possible to whip up an entire meal, from appetizer to entrée to dessert, in the air fryer! Start with her favourite Buffalo Cauliflower recipe (which she loves more than chicken wings), then serve up Turkey Meatballs for a main (they’re perfect with a rich tomato sauce over whole-wheat pasta). And don’t forget dessert; use your air fryer to make Churro Funnel Cakes—crispy on the outside, with a wonderfully chewy interior.
“My current obsession is delicata squash in my air fryer,” Emily adds. “I slice them thinly and then spray them with a bit of cooking spray and season them with salt and pepper. They taste just like fries but are so low in Points! I use them to make a tasty poutine!”
As for her top air-fryer tips, Emily always follows these best practices:
- Use spray oil to keep foods crispy (and re-spray halfway through)
- Shake your food to make sure it’s cooking evenly
- Know the best temperature for the food you’re cooking
- Pre-heat your air fryer for at least 3 minutes before putting the food in
- Don’t overcrowd the basket
Sounds like fail-proof, healthy and mouthwatering air-fryer cooking is in store for us this autumn! —Vita Daily
