I've never seen air fried stuff look so delicious like fried food. Any tips to get that crispy gold look and texture?
Panko and oil. I think some people are scared of putting oil in the air fryer since it's meant to be 'healthier' and whatnot, but any excess falls to the bottom anyway. I personally err on the side of a bit too much oil; for this dish I poured some onto each individual piece at the beginning, and then again after turning them half way through the cook. It's also a good idea to cook hot, my machine goes up to 200 C and I pretty much always use full blast.
Really the only thing I've struggled to get crispy is fresh fries, though I might just be overcrowding the tray.
You know that makes a ton of sense. I'll give it a try next time I cook.
