Lovin’ Your Air Fryer: 100+ Fast & Easy Recipes for Mornin’ to Late-Night Munchin’

Eric Theiss. Post Hill, $21.99 (208) ISBN 978-1-63758-328-9

In this versatile and alluring guide, TV chef Theiss (Toss & Go!) offers ways to maximize one’s air fryer, beyond just “enjoy[ing] basic fried foods like onion rings and French fries.” To start, he offers tips for “healthier crunchin’ ” that make all the difference—such as using a nonstick spray for crispier results, giving food space to get good air flow, and blending spices with mayonnaise to brush down one’s proteins for an “extra golden” finish. Surprises lay ahead in the form of unexpected yet tasty fare: breakfast features an El Denver quiche and orange cranberry scones, while scallion pancakes and eggplant “meatballs” are on offer in a hearty section of veggie options. Mouthwatering meat entrées—such as Korean sticky drumsticks, blue cheese–crusted beef tenderloin steaks, and spicy spatchcock chicken—abound, as do a multitude of keto-friendly options. Those with a sweet tooth will enjoy the decadent desserts, including a flourless chocolate cake blanketed in raspberry ganache and Oreo marshmallow pies. The collection has numerous full-color photos, but images of less familiar dishes such as Carolina chicken crispy sushi and chocolate-cherry bombs—where they’d be most helpful—are noticeably absent. Still, air fryer owners will eat up Theiss’s enticing and innovative creations. Agent: Linda Lisco, LLisco Media. (Mar.)
