Your question: Can you air fry without an air fryer?
While the popularity of air fryers has skyrocketed in recent years due to their ability to cook food with less oil and produce crispy results, not everyone owns an air fryer. If you find yourself in this situation and still want to enjoy the benefits of air frying, there’s good news! You can actually air fry without an air fryer. This method involves using a wire rack and a baking sheet in your oven. First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the wire rack on the baking sheet and arrange your food items on the rack. Make sure to leave some space between the items to ensure even cooking. Brush or spray the items lightly with oil to help them crisp up. Bake the food in the oven for the recommended cooking time, flipping or stirring occasionally. While the texture won’t be exactly the same as an air fryer, this method will still result in crispy and delicious food with less oil than traditional oven baking. Give it a try and see for yourself!
