Hi, guys. Welcome back to my channel. Today, I've got a foodie video for you.
I'm going to be sharing with you seven new recipes that you can make in your air fryer.
And I've made two air fryer videos in the past. So if you haven't seen them,
I'll link them in the description down below. Definitely check them out because there is
some great ideas and meals in those videos. But what we've been doing is anytime we try
out a new recipe in the air fryer and we really like it, we've been filming it. So in this video,
there are seven really great ideas. And I think you'll really like them.
And we've had an air fryer for about a year now. I got it because my friend, [Carrie Welkdo 00:00:35]
really recommended it. She's also a YouTuber, so definitely check out her channel as well. But we
stayed with her one weekend and she made us the most amazing potato wedges. And I was like, "How
did you make these?" And she is like, "Em, you need to get an air fryer." And I literally ordered
it while I was sat there with her, and we use it nearly every day. We really love it, especially
for the kids' food. It's such a game-changer. So yeah, I hope you really like this video.
I hope you like the recipes. But if you are new to my channel, then I would love you to
consider subscribing, because I'm here with new videos every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. And
I would love to have you. With all that said, let's get into the seven air fryer recipes.
Okay. So the first recipe that I wanted to share with you is air fryer coconut shrimp. But these
were so delicious and it's very easy to make. It takes just 12 minutes in your air fryer.
And then we served them with sweet chili sauce. So all you're going to need for this is raw
king prawns, some flour, some panko bread crumbs, some coconut and an egg and then salt and pepper.
So the method for this is very simple. And you've probably seen me do this type of recipe before on
this channel, but I will of course link the full recipe in the description down below. So if you
want to know any measurements or exactly how to do it, definitely check the description box.
But you'll need three bowls. In the first one, you'll put flour with a bit of salt and pepper,
in the second, you'll put a beaten egg and then in the third, you put a quarter cup
of panko bread crumbs and then three quarters of a cup of the unsweetened coconut.
And then you basically just put the raw king prawns into the flour mixture,
then into the beaten egg mixture, and then finally into the coconut bread crumb mixture
until they're all coated. It doesn't take long. It's very simple. You can get the kids involved.
And then you line them up in the air fryer. And then you put that in on 165 for six minutes.
And then after the six minutes, you just go ahead and flip them. And then put them back
in for another six minutes on 165. And that is literally it. It's that simple. And as I said,
we served them with sweet chili sauce. And these were so moreish. Actually,
we ate it all in one sitting. But this would be great at a party. I feel like it's a very summery
recipe as well. It's just quite impressive, because you can really taste the coconut. And it
just works well with the chili. So I would totally recommend this one. I really, really loved it.
Next up, I wanted to show you how to make stuffed fajitas in the air fryer.
This is a bit of a twist on normal fajitas, which I have actually shown
how to do that in the air fryer as well before. You basically just chuck everything in
and then you're ready to go. But this is slightly different and it was very delicious.
So first off, you just want to preheat your air fryer. And then with some chicken breasts,
you want to cut them kind of in half, but not completely in half because you do want it to
stick together. Then put some chopped onions and chopped peppers into that slit in the chicken.
And then you want to make a fajita mixture. So for that, we've just got some olive oil,
and then we're adding in some chili powder, some ground cumin and some garlic powder as well.
But I'm pretty sure that you could actually buy a fajita seasoning as well with some oil
and then rub it onto the chicken that way. But this actually was a very easy seasoning to make.
Then put them into the air fryer for six minutes on 170. And then once that's done,
you add some cheddar cheese on top. And the recipe, which I will link below, called for
putting some toothpicks to help to hold the cheese in place, but it's pretty much just going to melt
everywhere. So I don't know if you definitely need the toothpicks, but it does keep it all together.
Then put that back into the air fryer on 170 for eight minutes. And that is
it. This is how it comes out, very delicious. And then we served it with all of the normal
toppings that you would want to have with a fajita. So we've got some sour cream,
some guacamole, some salsa. So this tastes like a fajita, but it obviously doesn't have the wrap and
it just felt a bit more fancy. So yeah, if you're trying to avoid carbs or if not, you could serve
this with rice or something else, if you wanted to. But yeah, it was really, really delicious.
Next up, I wanted to show you a really nice fake-away. This is fish and chips in
the air fryer. And the crispy bit on the fish is actually made out of crushed corn flakes
and Parmesan cheese. And it just really works. So first off, I'm just preheating the air fryer.
And then for the chips, I'm just making it in the normal way that we normally do,
just peeling a potato and then cutting it into chip-shaped sizes. You can obviously do this
however big that you want, but we had them quite chunky. Then just putting that into a bowl with
a little bit of olive oil and some salt and pepper. I'm just going to give that a shake,
and that's literally it. Then I'm just going to stick them into the air fryer.
Now, the chip setting on our air fryer has a really cool feature and that is that whenever
it's halfway through, it will beep and tell you to give it a shake and then you just
put it back in. So I really liked that. And then for the fish part of this meal,
it's quite similar to the first recipe that I shared. So you need, again, three bowls,
one with flour and salt and pepper, one with a beaten egg, and then one with the crushed corn
flakes and Parmesan cheese. Again, I'll link the recipe down below for the exact measurements.
And you can also put in a little bit of cayenne pepper. It called for that in the recipe.
And then the same thing as normal with your cod, just dip it into the flour,
then into the egg and then into the crushed corn flake and Parmesan mix. And I should
say that these are actually Matt's hands. He made this dinner. But once you're done coating
all of the bits of cod, you put that into your air fryer for just 10 minutes, and that is it.
It's definitely a healthier type of fish and chips than your normal takeaway,
because obviously you're not frying it in oil. It is just being air fried.
And yeah, it was really delicious, really crispy, and I would really recommend it.
And next up, I wanted to show you how to make courgette chips, or if you live in North America,
you would say zucchini fries. These are really delicious. And they're a much healthier option
than obviously just French fries. And I've tried to make these in the normal oven before,
and it's definitely better in the air fryer, way more crispy.
So this is everything that you're going to need to make them. So first off,
you just want to cut up your courgette or zucchini into chip shapes or French fry shapes. And then
we're going to do the same coating method that I've already shared, but this just works so well
in the air fryer, because I feel like it's perfect for really crispy food, but it's a healthier
alternative to actually frying food. So we'll need a bowl for flour,
a bowl for beaten egg and then a bowl for the breaded coating. This recipe called
for two different types of bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. But I'm sure you could do just
one type of bread crumb and Parmesan. But I will link the recipe down below.
So then once you have your three bowls of everything,
you'll just want to start coating the bits of courgette into the flour, into the egg, and then
finally into the bread crumb and cheese mix. And then once they're all coated, you put them
into the air fryer on 180 for just 10 minutes. I couldn't believe how quickly these were done.
And they were very delicious. Matt was like, "For something so healthy, they are so nice."
And the recipe that I have linked called for making a lemon mayonnaise mix to dip it into.
But we actually had leftover peppercorn sauce in our fridge from another recipe that we made
and that worked really well as well, but if not, you could make a lemon mayonnaise
to go with it and yeah, really delicious. I will definitely be making these again.
And next up, I wanted to show you how to make cauliflower buffalo wings. And I really wanted to
include this in the video because when we made it, we were pleasantly surprised how nice this was.
So this is everything that you're going to need for the recipe. But the only thing that you're
actually air frying is the cauliflower itself. So you cut up the cauliflower and put it into
a bowl. Add a little bit of oil and give it a mix around. And then
put that into the air fryer for about 13 minutes on 160. And that is literally that bit done.
Then you just make the sauce for it. So this is actually the more time consuming part of it,
but it is still quite simple and it really does make it. So first off, we're putting in
some cottage cheese and some crumbled up blue cheese as well and give that a mix.
And then once the cauliflower is done and out of the air fryer, you add some melted butter and also
some buffalo wing sauce on top of the cauliflower. So obviously, it's gone from being quite healthy
to being a bit less healthy. But this was really delicious and still for a portion of this,
I think it's 200 calories, so still a healthy veggie option. And yeah, it was
very nice. I ate the whole bowl. It was really, really delicious. And Matt doesn't normally
like cauliflower, but he actually did like this. But we also made some breaded scallops. And again,
very simple to make, the same kind of method that I've been showing throughout this video. So again,
you'll need three bowls, one with flour, salt and pepper, one with egg, and then one with
panko bread crumbs. And you'll just need to take your scallops and then dip it into all of the
bowls and then put that into your air fryer. And then once they're all coated, you put them
in on a 180 for three to four minutes and then you flip them. And then you put them
back in for another three to four minutes. And that is literally it. And we served this with
tartar sauce and lemon as well. And I loved them. They were so delicious. Matt said, he thinks he
prefers scallops just on its own without the crispy bit on it, but I really enjoyed them.
And the last recipe that I wanted to share with you is a delicious
Italian breaded salad. This is such a good one. I feel like it's the type of salad that I could
actually put out on a buffet or a barbecue and then it wouldn't just be left. It was so
good. I think everyone would actually eat this. And so this is everything you're going to need.
It's basically chopped up ciabatta. So we've just chopped it into cubes.
And then putting that into a bowl with a little bit of olive oil and some garlic paste, or you
could just chop up a clove of garlic and put that in. And then there is also some pepper as well.
And then you just add that to the cubed up ciabatta, give it a good mix. And that is
actually all that you put into the air fryer. So this went in for nine minutes on 160. And
while that's cooking, you can go ahead and make the dressing and then the rest of the salad.
So we're just mixing up some olive oil, some balsamic vinegar, some salt and pepper,
giving it a good whisk. And then adding to a bowl some chopped up tomatoes, some black olives,
some fresh parsley and basil as well. And then we're going to add the dressing to that and give
that a really good mix. And then once the bread, the ciabatta, from the air fryer is done,
you add that in. Give that a really good mix and then top it off with some Parmesan cheese.
And it's very delicious. It's a very bready salad, because there is not obviously any
lettuce leaves in it, but it's very flavorful and delicious. And of course, you can use this
method to make just croutons for your salads, if you want to, because it is very simple.
And yeah, it's something a little bit different. We really liked it.
But anyway, that is it for this video. Those are all the recipes that I wanted to share with you.
I hope you really enjoyed it, if you did, give it a big thumbs up. And I would love to know
in the comments, if there is any recipes that you're going to give a try. And yeah,
thank you so much as always for watching. And I'll see you in my next one. Bye, guys.
