Roasted garlic in an air fryer is a delightful culinary revelation that elevates dishes with its rich, caramelised flavour. To prepare, simply take a bulb of garlic and slice off the top to expose the individual cloves. Drizzle with a touch of olive oil, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and wrap it loosely in foil to maintain moisture. Place the package in the air fryer basket and set it to a medium heat. In just 15 to 20 minutes, you'll be greeted with a warm, fragrant aroma wafting through your kitchen. The cloves become beautifully soft and buttery, ideal for spreading on crusty bread or incorporating into sauces and dressings. It's an effortless way to achieve that roasted perfection, all while saving time and energy.

Roasting leeks is a wonderfully simple way to bring out their natural sweetness and add a delightful depth of flavour to your dishes. To start, preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit).

While the oven warms, take a few medium-sized leeks and trim the root ends and the dark green tops, leaving about 10–15 cm of the white and light green parts. Slice them in half lengthwise and rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove any grit. Once they’re clean, pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Next, arrange the leeks cut side up on a roasting tray. Drizzle them generously with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. You might also like to add a few sprigs of thyme or rosemary for added fragrance.

Roast the leeks in the oven for around 25 to 30 minutes, until they are tender and golden brown, turning them halfway through to ensure even cooking. The result will be beautifully caramelised leeks, perfect as a side dish, tossed through pasta, or as a tasty addition to salads. Enjoy the rich flavour and delightful texture that roasting brings!

How to Make Healthy Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets

Creating healthy air fryer chicken nuggets is both simple and rewarding. Begin by preheating your air fryer to around 200°C (or 180°C if you’re using a fan setting). While it heats up, take 500g of boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cut them into bite-sized pieces.

Next, prepare a light coating. In one bowl, place wholemeal breadcrumbs mixed with your choice of herbs and spices—paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt work wonderfully. In another bowl, whisk together a beaten egg and a splash of milk. To keep things healthier, you can even replace the egg with a mixture of Greek yoghurt and a bit of mustard.

Dip each chicken piece first into the egg mixture, ensuring it's well-coated, and then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully covered. Arrange the coated nuggets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded.

Cook the nuggets for about 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. Once golden and crispy, remove them and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving. Pair with a homemade dipping sauce, such as a light garlic mayonnaise or a tangy tomato salsa, for a delightful and nutritious snack or meal. Enjoy your guilt-free treat!

Deliciously juicy and bursting with flavour, air fryer stuffed chicken breast is a straightforward yet impressive dish that’s perfect for a cosy dinner or a special occasion. The chicken is first pounded to an even thickness, making it easier to roll and fill. A delightful mixture of cream cheese, spinach, and a hint of garlic forms the sumptuous stuffing, delivering a creamy contrast against the tender chicken.

Once the chicken is rolled and secured with toothpicks, it’s lightly seasoned with salt and pepper before being placed in the air fryer. The result? A beautifully golden exterior with a crisp finish, while the inside remains moist and flavourful. Serve it sliced on a bed of fluffy mashed potatoes or a fresh garden salad for a meal that is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate. This dish not only showcases the versatility of the air fryer but also promises a delightful culinary experience without the fuss of traditional frying.
