AIR FRYING TECHNIQUE

1. Please consult the Air Frying Chart and/or follow package directions for suggested TIME and TEMP.

2. Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning and avoid excess smoke.

3. To assure even cooking/browning, ALWAYS open the basket drawer halfway through the cook time and check, turn or shake foods in the frying basket. Some recipes may call for brush or spray oil halfway through cooking. Adjust TIME or TEMP if needed.

CAUTION: Always use oven mitts when handling the hot air fryer basket.

CAUTION: Hot oil can collect at the base of the drawer. To avoid risk of burns or personal injury, or to avoid oil from contaminating air fried foods, always unlock and remove the frying basket from the drawer before emptying. NEVER turn the drawer upside down with the frying basket attached.

1. Allow cooked foods to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the drawer from the machine and place on a flat, heat resistant surface. Then remove crisping tray from the drawer.

2. Shake air fried foods out onto serving area. Promptly return the frying basket to the drawer and lock into place. Continue air frying subsequent batches, if any.

3. To avoid excess smoke, when cooking naturally high fat foods, such as bacon, chicken wings or sausages, it may be necessary to empty fat from the frying basket drawer between batches.

4. For crispier results, air fry small batches of freshly breaded foods. Create more surface area by cutting food into smaller pieces. Press breading onto food to help it adhere. Refrigerate breaded foods for at least 30 minutes before frying.

5. Arrange breaded food in frying basket so that food is not touching to allow air flow on all surfaces.

6. Spray oils work best. Oil is distributed evenly and less oil is needed. Canola, olive, avocado, coconut, grapeseed, peanut, or vegetable oil work well.

7. Unplug the Air Fryer when not in use.

A NOTE ON AIR FRYING PRE-PACKAGED FROZEN FOODS

1. Where microwave ovens often produce hot, mushy results and toaster ovens take forever, air frying assures reasonably fast, crispy, delicious results!

2. As a rule, depending on the food and amount to be cooked, suggested cook TIMES may have to be reduced slightly. Always check food halfway through cooking time to determine final cook TIME and TEMP.

3. Always check cooking progress after TIME has expired.

AIR FRYING CHART (INCLUDES PRESET FOOD MENU ITEMS)

WARNING! Times are estimated and based on average sizes and weights.

ALWAYS USE A MEAT THERMOMETER TO ENSURE THAT MEAT, POULTRY AND FISH ARE COOKED THOROUGHLY BEFORE SERVING.

NOTE: Frying smaller batches will result in shorter cooking times and higher food quality. Adjust air frying temperatures and times as necessary to suit your taste.

NOTE: Unless food is pre-packaged and pre-oiled, for browned and crispy results, all foods should be lightly oiled before air frying.

Lemon Za'atar Chicken with Eggplant & Zucchini

Za'atar is popular Middle Eastern spice mixture dating back to ancient times. We have enveloped the chicken with this aromatic blend of thyme, sumac, wild oregano and toasted sesame seeds. Fresh lemon adds moist citrus notes.

The Air Fryer is the perfect tool for preparing moist and luscious, roasted chicken, the frying basket allows drippings (liquid flavor) to permeate the vegetables and stream down into the easy-to-clean drawer.

Serves 6

1 (3 1/2 - 4 1/2 lb) whole chicken

1 lemon, zested and halved

1 teaspoon salt, divided

1 Chinese eggplant

1 zucchini

1 cup za'atar seasoning

1. Remove the chicken giblets.

2. Rinse the chicken inside and out. Trim all excess fat and use paper towels to pat dry. Work your hands inside the chicken skin to loosen from the meat. Use a sharp paring knife to puncture all fat pockets. Make 3 to 4 slits along the chicken's backbone to relieve extra fat.

3. Liberally coat the chicken inside and out with za'atar. Generously rub za'atar under the chicken skin. Squeeze each lemon half over the chicken; squeeze again and place inside the chicken cavity.

4. Tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken. To ensure crispy skin, refrigerate the chicken uncovered for 30 minutes before air frying.

5. Trim the eggplant and zucchini, cut into discs, then use to cover the bottom of the Air Fryer basket. Lay the chicken, breast side down, onto the bed of vegetables.

6. Air Fry at 360^ F.

7. Turn the chicken over, breast side up. Sprinkle lemon zest over the breast of the chicken.

8. Continue air frying at 365^ F for 25 minutes, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh or when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 170^ F/ 77^ C - 180^ F/ 82^ C.

9. Remove the chicken and vegetables to a platter and tent with aluminum foil for about 20 minutes. Slice the chicken onto a platter and serve it with the vegetables.

Foil cupcake liners

Coconut oil baking spray

1 (16 oz.) box white cake mix, your favorite brand

1 egg white

1 egg

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 ripe banana, mashed

1 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla or plain almond milk

1 cup crushed chocolate chip or chocolate sandwich cookies

1/4 cup chocolate chips

1/4 cup butterscotch chips

1. Mash the banana in a large bowl. Add the remainder of the ingredients and mix until well blended.
2. Place foil cupcake liners into the frying basket. Generously spray foil cupcake liners with coconut oil. Fill cupcake liners equally, no more than 2/3 full with batter.
3. Air fry at 365^ F, until golden, about 8 minutes.
