Have you really thrived during this pandemic if you didn’t purchase an air fryer? Well, we hopped on the air fryer bandwagon in June. Did we really need another appliance? Probably not, but I bought one for Eric as part of his Father’s Day gift, and we have never looked back! So many of our friends RAVED about their Cuisinart® Air Fryer Toaster Oven, so I bought that one. So far we have air fried potatoes, brussels sprouts, chicken, and cauliflower. ALL were delicious!
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I just NEED French Fries. So, one day I decided to make my own. Whenever I use my oven to make French Fries, they never get crispy enough. Well that was definitely NOT a problem when I used my air fryer! These were crispy and delicious!
