Well, you can. Taste has come up with some great side dishes that can ben made in your trusty air fryer.
Hash brown garlic ‘bread’
We love a good hash brown hack (have you seen our hash brown toastie or hash brown lasagne?). This time around we’ve loaded 1kg of hash browns with garlic butter and lots and lots of cheese to create this savoury beauty.
Use hash browns to make this delicious garlic ‘bread’.
Mushrooms
This air fryer method of cooking mushrooms transforms Portobellos into juicy, tender morsels of flavour. Perfect in a burger, chopped up in a taco or by themselves with sauce.
Cheesy corn ‘ribs’
These corn ‘ribs’ are created by quartering the corn lengthways. Smothered in Mexican seasoning and parmesan, this dish will become your new favourite air fryer recipe. Serve it with a tangy lime sauce, as a side, an entree or a snack.
Cheesy corn ribs are a hit at any event.
French onion potato pompoms
Take your potatoes to the next level with these crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside air fryer spud pompoms. You only need three ingredients, they look spectacular and are actually pretty easy to make.
Crispy air fryer potato salad
Did you know that you can make crispy potato salad by simply using the air fryer? Finished with a tangy sour cream and chive and mayonnaise dressing, this dish is set to be the best side at your next summer barbecue feast.
Zucchini chips
Cooking your zucchini chips in an air fryer makes them crunchy and golden but best of all you only need to use a fraction of the oil that you would use to shallow or deep fry them.
Curried cauliflower can be made to perfection in the air fryer.
Coconut curried cauliflower
