Air frying sides: what you need to know
Side dishes — from crispy fries to stuffed mushrooms to roasted corn — are where the air fryer really earns its place on the counter. The appliance excels at anything that benefits from a crispy exterior: french fries use up to 75% less oil than deep-frying while achieving comparable crunch. Frozen sides like onion rings, tater tots, and mozzarella sticks cook faster and crispier in an air fryer than in a conventional oven. For best results with starchy sides, do not crowd the basket — a single layer is critical. If you are cooking in batches, keep the first batch warm in a 200°F oven while the second batch cooks.
