Navigate Air Fryer: Temperature, Timing, and Crispy Results

In this episode, Marco explains why oven recipes produce burnt outsides and raw centers in air fryers and delivers the exact temperature and timing adjustments needed for consistently crispy results.

Key Takeaways:
• Lower the oven temperature by 25 degrees and cut cook time by 20 percent
• Use 375 to 400 degrees for most vegetables and proteins with little to no added oil
• Shake the basket at the halfway mark and check again at 80 percent of the adjusted time
• Arrange food in a single layer with space between pieces to prevent steaming
• Preheat the empty basket for 2 minutes before cooking frozen items

For broccoli, set the air fryer to 375 degrees for 12 minutes after cutting florets evenly and coating lightly with oil. Frozen fries cook at 400 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes with 1 teaspoon of oil tossed first, shaking at the 4- and 8-minute marks. Always test one piece for crunch and add 2 minutes only if needed.
