When I first got my air fryer<\/a> two years ago, I was totally sold on the health benefits. This modest piece of kitchen equipment really did deliver on flavour (air-fried walnuts to sprinkle on my yogurt became a staple). I used next to no oil when roasting veggies, and I even started experimenting with air-fried puddings for the family. But about a year ago, during a kitchen declutter, it got tucked away in the pantry and hasn\u2019t seen the light of day since.<\/p>\n

But all that is set to change! I have found fresh inspiration after Dr Clare Bailey Mosley<\/a> shared her love of the air fryer<\/a> on Instagram, showcasing a deliciously healthy, super-easy air fryer lunch full of the kind of vegetables your gut loves.<\/p>\n

\u2018The thing that I love about the air fryer is that it\u2019s so simple,’ she says. ‘You just chuck it all in, rummage it around a bit and hey presto, here it is! Sausages with some beetroot and broccoli\u2026 I just love the different colours and all that fibre and protein. That\u2019s a really yummy lunch.\u2019<\/p>\n

The beetroot and red onions that Dr Clare uses are full of important phytonutrients, she explains: \u2018great for your gut and microbiome. Dark red vegetables tend to confer numerous benefits thanks to substances like the anthocyanins and lycopenes linked to heart health, better brain health and even improving immunity.\u2019 She finishes by asking her followers: \u2018Do you to get a good variety of colours in your meals?\u2019<\/p>\n

In her new cookbook The Fast 800 Favourites<\/a>, Dr Clare has even included more than 30 air fryer adapted recipes. \u2018Less time. Less washing up,\u2019 she said over on Facebook<\/a>. \u2018If you\u2019re cooking after work, between school runs or just don\u2019t want another complicated dinner, these are the recipes I reach for myself.\u2019<\/p>\n

Thinking of getting more use from your air fryer<\/a>? Here are Good Housekeeping\u2019s top tips:<\/p>\n

Shake the basket<\/p>\n

As Dr Clare explains, shaking your air fryer basket a couple of times throughout the cooking process ensures your food cooks evenly. <\/p>\n

Do a single layer<\/p>\n

Lay your food items in your air fryer basket in a single layer in order to prevent them from steaming, rather than crisping up. <\/p>\n

Steer clear of sauce<\/p>\n

Cooking anything wet or saucy in your air fryer will cause it to drip through the basket and burn to the bottom of the air fryer. <\/p>\n

Line with foil<\/p>\n

If you want to reduce the amount you clean your air fryer basket, line it with foil and replace the foil each time. <\/p>\n
