Why Use The Air Fryer?

The air fryer makes it super easy to cook up healthier versions of your holiday favorites. By circulating heat around all sides of the food, the air fryer allows you to ‘fry’ foods using the smallest amount of oil. We’re talking anything from a tablespoon to just a light spray.

And since hardly any oil is being absorbed, your food contains less fat and calories overall. Less calories, less cooking time, and all the flavor? Now this is something we can all be thankful for!
