Oil?

You might be tempted to entirely neglect oil when cooking with your air fryer.

Have you ever wondered whether you need to use oil in your air fryer?

The answer is that you usually need at least a bit of oil, but you should not need as much as if you are deep fat frying or even skillet frying your food.

Air fryers have become very popular because they are a good way to enjoy crispy fried foods without the huge portion of fat usually associated with deep fat frying.

How Do You Use Oil In an Air Fryer?

1. Decide whether you are going to use a spray oil or brush oil on. This will depend on how much oil the recipe calls for. A spritz of oil is easiest to add with a spray oil, but if the ingredients ask for half a tablespoon or more, it’s best to use a brush.
