Tips and Swap Ideas
Meat Alternatives: For the chicken tenders, you can use tofu or tempeh strips for a plant-based option. They’ll absorb the seasoning and get crispy in the air fryer just like chicken.
Spice It Up: Feel free to add chili powder, cayenne pepper, or your favorite hot sauce to give your dishes an extra kick.
Healthy Swaps: Use air fryer parchment paper or a silicone mat to reduce added fats. You can also cut back on oil by using a light spray.
Vegetable Variations: Don’t be afraid to swap out veggies based on what you have on hand. Carrots, asparagus, or even Brussels sprouts work beautifully in the air fryer.
Toppings: Top your air fryer veggies or meats with fresh herbs, a squeeze of lemon, or grated cheese for an extra flavor boost.
