How To Prep Air Fryer Vegetables So They Don’t Escape The Basket – Tasting Table

If you cut your vegetables too small, they will inevitably end up a burnt mess at the bottom of your air fryer. The reason is that the smaller cuts will slip through the basket's holes. Whether you choose to use a processor, slicer, peeler, or knife, a 1/4-inch wide cut is the golden rule.

Think about what a thick-cut French fry looks like. You know the ones served at a steak house? Even the board-walk style fries that Five Guys serve, or the crinkle cut ones at Shake Shack will serve as a good rule of thumb for a 1/4-inch wide sliced vegetable. You can fry them dry, but tossing the vegetables in a small amount of oil prior to the time in the air fryer will optimize that golden brown factor you want.

Now that you know the best size cut, everything from Morrocan-spiced carrotsto a simple side of green beanswill take half the time by using your favorite modern kitchen appliance.
