AIR FRYER RECIPES AND INFORMATION:

The air fryer has changed my life, created possibilities I never thought of before, even made life immeasurably better. I used to always defrost things before I cooked them because they never seemed to turn out right unless they were defrosted.

I never used to bring home food to be reheated because it always came out of the microwave with a different feeling, texture and taste. It was rubbery or just a plain bad texture. The air fryer allows me to throw in pork chops, frozen or fresh, set the timer, walk away and have perfect juicy pork chops nearly every time. Same with salmon, amazing “grilled” cauliflower and broccoli, right out of the freezer. The air fryer is a game changer.

I prefer my Ninja Foodi, because of the different ways it can be used. I can pressure cook, fry, broil, sauce or even dehydrate all in just a little counter space. If I want to I can even bake in it. Haven’t tried that yet.

2 Small Low Bowls For Breading Chicken Tenders

Ingredients

1 + lb chicken tenders 7-8 tenders in a package
1 egg
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
olive oil

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400F for 5 minutes.
You’ll need 2 small, low dishes to bread the chicken. In the first add the egg and beat it in the dish. In the 2nd dish, add the almond flour, grated parmesan, garlic salt, ground black pepper, and paprika and mix them together.
Dip a chicken tender first in the egg, making sure to dip it on each side and let the excess egg drip back into the bowl.
Next, dip the chicken tender in the almond flour parmesan mix, making sure to coat it well on both sides. Continue dipping the rest of the chicken tenders in the egg wash and coating mix.
Add the chicken to the air fryer and spritz the top side of the chicken with olive oil.
Air fry the chicken for a total of 8-9 minutes, after 4 minutes, flip the chicken over spritz the other side of the chicken with olive oil. Cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 160F.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Eat them as is or dip them in your favorite sauce!

Notes

Optional dipping sauces include low carb BBQ sauce like Primal Kitchen, low carb Ranch, mustard, sugar-free ketchup.

Vary the recipe by using a chicken rub seasoning, Italian seasoning, or whatever your favorite seasoning is!

Shredded parmesan can be used in place of the grated, but the grated will stick better.
If you don’t have an oil spritzer, carefully brush oil on the chicken tenders or use Sam’s Club Olive Oil Cooking Spray

If you’re a garlic lover, sprinkle a little more garlic salt over the top after cooking.

To bake the chicken tenders, follow the assembly steps, and instead of air frying, bake them in a 400F oven for 10 minutes, flipping after 5 minutes until the internal temperature is safe to take out

Equipment

air fryer

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound peeled raw shrimp
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 small lemon thinly sliced
1-2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup white wine

Instructions

Line your air fryer basket with foil. If you have a large air fryer that uses a small baking sheet, line that with foil and make sure to use a sheet with edges to contain that scampi sauce.
Put the olive oil into the foil-lined tray. Put the shrimp on top of the oil and season with the salt. Sprinkle the garlic over the shrimp.
Slice the butter into several pats and put on top of the shrimp.
Lay the lemon slices over the top of all of it, and put the fresh thyme and parsley on top of that.
Pour the white wine in, and put the basked into the fryer.
Turn the air fryer to high. Ours goes to 390°. That’s where we cooked these at, but anywhere from 375°F to 400°F will work. Just adjust the cook time accordingly. Cook time will also vary based on how close together your shrimp are. Shrimp is fully cooked when the internal temperatures reaches 120°F (for ideal texture and to prevent dryness). The FDA recommends 145°F. You’ll have to decide where in that range you are comfortable.
Cook for 8-12 minutes, or until the shrimp reach that minimum internal temperature.
Remove and enjoy!
