Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why did my broccoli burn in the air fryer?

There can be two things with this. One the high heat being so close to the vegetable will result in it cooking very quickly. Also, oil helps protect the vegetable as well. I am not sure about the science behind it but it’s like when chef’s put butter in oil when cooking. The oil helps protect the butter from the heat and prevents it from burning so quickly.

Why are my veggies soggy?

This is very likely due to overcrowding the air fryer. Vegetables have a high water content and crowding anything when cooking results in it boiling first. Another thing is using frozen veggies. They’ll need to defrost first then cook. Which means you’ll want to start out at a lower heat to prevent them overcooking.

Lastly, vegetable oil is your best friend for making things crispy. Olive oil is much healthier but it also lacks the properties to give food that crunch like vegetable oil has.
