    Air Fryer Cooking Tips

    Consider seasoning your dish with fresh parsley, dill, or even cilantro.

    Instead of using yellow onions, consider red onions for a sweeter flavor.

    It is best to cut the ingredients such as your onions, peppers and potatoes into similar sized pieces so they can cook evenly.

    For a crispy texture, consider adding Parmesan cheese in the last couple minutes or sprinkle seasoned breadcrumbs.
