Creative Spiralized Veggies For The Air Fryer

Spiralizers are a great way to prepare vegetables for air frying. You can spiralize potatoes to make curly fries, or add garlic to make French fries. Spiralized vegetables are also a great way to make a healthy alternative to deep-fried food.

Curly fries

To make curly fries in an air fryer, you'll need to use a spiralizer to spiralize each potato. Be sure to use the largest blade on your spiralizer, as cutting the potatoes too thin will cause them to burn easily. Once you've spiralized the potatoes, use kitchen shears or scissors to cut the long curled potato strings into bite-sized pieces. You can then pour oil on top of the curly fries and toss to combine.

Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 minutes. Set the timer for 20 minutes. After 5 minutes, stir the fries and remove any that are golden and crispy. If you want to add garlic to your curly fries, like in the recipe for spiralized garlic french fries, add minced garlic after 10 minutes of cooking and cook for another 8 minutes. Toss again, and if needed, cook for an additional 4 minutes. The total cooking time will depend on how crispy you like your fries.

If you plan to spiralize vegetables often, it may be worth investing in a spiralizer attachment for your KitchenAid stand mixer.

Spiralized garlic french fries

You can make spiralized garlic french fries in an air fryer. To make them, use a spiralizer to prepare potatoes. Be sure to use the largest blade on your spiralizer, as if they're cut too thin, they will burn easily. Once spiralized, use kitchen shears or scissors to clip the long curled potato strings into bite-sized pieces. Place the spiralized potatoes into the basket of the air fryer, and drizzle with olive oil. Set the temperature to 350º, and cook for 2 minutes. Use tongs to "toss" the potatoes, in order to get olive oil distributed evenly and to move the potatoes around so that they cook evenly. Cook for 8 minutes and "toss" again. Add minced garlic, and cook for another 8 minutes. Toss again, and if needed cook for an additional 4 minutes. The total cooking time will depend on how crispy you like your fries.

Air fryers are compact convection ovens. They circulate hot air around a basket that holds your food. The Hamilton Beach Air Fryer is an easy-to-use countertop appliance that produces crispy food quickly with less fat than a deep fryer. It is a small air fryer that’s great if you have a small family. If your family is bigger, the Breville Smart Oven is a good option. Not only is it a larger air fryer, but it also has the capability to act as a toaster oven, dehydrator, and slow cooker. If you have a KitchenAid stand mixer, you can get a spiralizer attachment, which is useful if you plan to spiralize vegetables often.
