2Air fryer chicken rissoles
Crisp on the outside and tender and juicy within, rissoles made in the air fryer are not only lower in fat, they’re absolutely delicious. With (largely) hidden zucchini these chicken-y cheesy flavour bombs are soon to become a family favourite, especially in the warmer months when turning on the stove, even for simple pan-frying seems like too much of an effort.I’ll be the first to admit I was cynical about air fryers. After seeing so many gadgets come and go (I’ll sell my churros maker to the lowest bidder), what was all the hype? And then I started playing around with it. Not only do they halve cooking times, making them so much more energy efficient than turning on the oven, but I love that they’re a safe way to get kids cooking and reheating their food.Why we love this rissoles recipeThese air fryer chicken rissoles are just so versatile. Serve as we suggest with salad and a honey mustard dressing during summer or with mash and gravy in winter or you could also pop them in burger buns along with some air-fried bacon and aioli and serve with sweet potato chips.What do you need for air fryer chicken patties?Chicken mince: chicken mince is a low fat, budget-friendly ingredient. Because of its neutral flavour it’s perfect for children’s meals. Check out these family friendly chicken mince recipes here.Panko: panko breadcrumbs are made from Japanese bread that has been flaked and dried, resulting in large “crumbs”. Not only are they ideal for coating and then frying food, they also make an excellent binder, soaking up the excess liquid to allow the chicken rissoles to become crisp.Parmesan: finely grated parmesan adds a nice salty kick as well as being another binder to hold the air fryer rissoles together.Green shallots: rather than having to fry off onion to flavour your chicken rissoles, thinly sliced green shallots add that same oniony hit, but in a milder way.Zucchini: it’s the grated zucchini that makes these rissoles so tender, as well as adding fibre and antioxidants to this healthy meal.Honey mustard dressing: we make our own quick dressing, but you use a bought one or swap for some caramelised onions or tomato relish.Air fryers certainly make light work of dinners. In fact, you can create a whole balanced dinner in one like our saltimbocca with asparagus or herb-crusted salmon with crisp potatoes. How about cooking up this quiche Lorraine and serving with a green salad or serve this air fryer tofu with sizzling garlic Sikmply heat some microwave rice to keep with the quick and easy theme. The air fryer makes light work of a chicken cordon bleu or serve up our sticky pork belly with sweet potato chips.Additional recipe notes from Alison Adams, Food Writer and Recipe TesterHow to make chicken rissoles: full recipe below

10Air fryer cheese latkes
Not only do latkes - cheesy fried potato cakes - taste delicious but they also have an important message behind them. During the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, latkes are frequently enjoyed to remind Jews (in the most delicious way possible) of the miracle of oil. In our version, we’ve lightly sprayed them with oil and used an air fryer, but you can also make them using the traditional method of deep-frying (see notes for instructions). Hot tip: par-boiling the potatoes creates a sticky starchiness that binds the potato without using egg or flour. In fact, it will be quite sticky, so wet your hands when you need to handle the mixture (it becomes less sticky on cooling).
