Chicken wings
To make chicken wings in a Tefal air fryer, start by splitting the wings into flats and drummettes. You can use free-run or organic chicken wings if you prefer. Then, prepare a marinade of olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. You can also add some hot sauce to the marinade if you like your wings spicy. Let the wings marinate for at least 30 minutes, or for even better results, leave them in the fridge for at least six hours or overnight.
Before placing the wings in the air fryer, pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving the desired crispiness. You can also spray the air fryer basket with a non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the wings in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching. If necessary, you can stand the wings upright along the sides of the basket to fit more in at once. Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook the wings for at least 30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. If you want your wings even crispier, you can add another 5-10 minutes to the cooking time.
To check if the wings are done, use a thermometer probe to ensure that the internal temperature of the thickest part of the meat reads at least 165°F. Once the wings are cooked to the desired level of doneness, you can toss them in your favorite sauce, such as hot sauce, melted butter, or buffalo sauce. You can also serve them as-is with a side of ranch dressing or chopped parsley. Enjoy your crispy and juicy air-fried chicken wings!

Apple fritters
Ingredients
For the fritter, you will need:
- Firm apples, such as Granny Smith or Honey Crisp, cut into small pieces
- Flour
- Sugar
- Milk
- Egg
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Cinnamon (optional)
- Vanilla extract (optional)
- Lemon juice (optional)
For the glaze, you will need:
- Butter
- Powdered sugar
- Milk (optional)
- Caramel extract (optional)
- Honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
Before you begin, preheat your Tefal air fryer to 350-400 degrees Fahrenheit. While the air fryer is preheating, prepare the fritter batter by mixing the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt) in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients (milk, egg, vanilla, and lemon juice, if using). Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until combined. Finally, gently fold in the diced apples.
Line the basket of your Tefal air fryer with parchment paper and lightly brush or spray with oil. Scoop the batter into the basket, forming fritters of your desired size. Cook the fritters in batches if needed, arranging them in a single layer to ensure even cooking. Set the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and cook for 4-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
While the fritters are cooking, you can prepare the glaze. Place the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and melt until it foams and turns brown, releasing a nutty aroma. Remove from the heat and add the powdered sugar, milk (if using), and caramel extract (if using) to the browned butter. Stir until well combined, adding the milk gradually to achieve your desired consistency.
Once the fritters are cooked, transfer them to a cooling rack and drizzle with the warm glaze. For an extra indulgent touch, serve your apple fritters with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!

Fish and chips
To make the French fries, soak the potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes and up to 3 hours. If soaking for longer than 30 minutes, change the water at least once. After soaking, drain the water and dry the potatoes thoroughly with a towel. Spray the basket of your air fryer generously with cooking oil spray. Place the fries in the basket and spray the tops with more oil. Air fry the potatoes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 7 minutes. Then, toss and fry again for another 7 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
For the fish, pat dry with a paper towel. Then, dip the fish in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs, and place on a baking sheet. Spray both sides with oil and then place in the air fryer. Cook the fish for about 10-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets and the model of the air fryer. Check that the fish is cooked to your liking by testing with a fork to see if it flakes easily. It is recommended to cook the fish in batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket and ensure even cooking.
Serve the fish and chips with freshly minced parsley and lemon slices for garnish, along with tartar sauce and ketchup for dipping, if desired.

Roasted carrots
To make roasted carrots in a Tefal air fryer, start by cutting the carrots into equal-sized pieces. This will ensure that they cook evenly. You can peel and slice the carrots, or use baby carrots for a quicker option that doesn't require any preparation. Next, toss the carrots with your choice of oil and spices. You can use a light spray of oil or cooking spray, and dried herbs such as rosemary and thyme, or fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or thyme. For a sweet option, you can use coconut oil, brown sugar, cinnamon, Chinese five spice, or other spices like nutmeg or cardamom. If you prefer a savoury flavour, you can use cumin and coriander powder with pepper and salt.
Once the carrots are coated, place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between them so they don't overlap. Set the temperature to between 375-400°F (about 190-200°C) and cook for 6 minutes. Then, flip each carrot or give the basket a shake, and air fry for another 4-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown with crispy, caramelized edges. Check on your carrots regularly to ensure they don't overcook, especially if you are using baby carrots or thinner slices, as these will cook faster.
You can serve the roasted carrots with your favourite dip or as a side dish with a savoury main like roasted chicken or steak. They also go well with turkey breast and are a great addition to salads, providing a textural contrast.

Steak sandwiches
Firstly, thinly slice your steak and place the strips in a bowl. Top with Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce, and stir to coat the meat. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours. If you are using onions and peppers, slice them into strips and add to the steak mixture, along with seasoned salt, and leave to sit for 30 minutes.
Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit for 30 minutes to come to room temperature. Place the steak and vegetables in the basket of your air fryer. Cook at 390°F for 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Remove the steak and vegetables from the basket and drain any grease. Divide the steak evenly between your hoagie rolls and top with cheese. Wrap each sandwich in foil and return to the air fryer for a further 3 minutes at 390°F. Unwrap and serve hot.
You can also toast the bread in the air fryer for 2 minutes before assembling the sandwich. For a cheesier option, add the cheese to the sandwich and return to the air fryer until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
