Top 3 Things you HAVE to make using IRIS Air Fryer

In July, we hosted our big IRIS Air Fryer Convection Oven Giveaway… and it was a major success! We had over 1,100 participants tell us what they would like to make using our air fryer, and they all sounded delicious 😋

We loved it so much that we went and picked the top 3 most popular food items from the comments with some honorable mentions.  We also have a recipe for you to try on your own!

 

#3 Pizzas

Pizza, Pizza, and more Pizzas! From plain cheese pizzas to delicious Keto Zuccini Pizzas, who knew pizzas were so versatile? (Like our Air Fryer 😉)

 

“I would use it for everything, but my favorite would be for homemade pizza” – Clara, AL

 

Say good-bye to frozen pizza 😎 For our recipe, we went with the Easy, Vegetarian-Friendly Air Fryer Margherita Pizza! (Recipe Inspired by Sarah Bond)

Total Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients

  • Buffalo mozzarella
  • Pizza dough (1 12-inch dough will make 2 personal sized pizzas)
  • Olive oil
  • Tomato sauce
  • Optional toppings to finish: fresh basil, parmesan cheese, pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Spray air fryer basket well with oil. Pat mozzarella dry with paper towels (to prevent a soggy pizza).
  2. Assemble: Roll out pizza dough to the size of your air fryer basket (If you want to make your own dough from scratch, follow this link). Carefully transfer it to the air fryer, then brush lightly with a teaspoon or so of olive oil. Spoon on a light layer of tomato sauce and sprinkle with chunks of buffalo mozzarella.
  3. Bake: For about 7 minutes until crust is crispy and cheese has melted. Optionally top with basil, grated parmesan, and pepper flakes just before serving.

 

#2 French Fries

Did you know that despite the name, French Fries are not from France, but Belgium? There are many ways to make fries: From Sweet Potato Fries to Zucchini fries (We love Zucchinis, can you tell?)

“Sweet potato fries!” –Lauryn

“I love air frying! So much better than greasy fingers any day. Perfect for cabins.” –Jason

For our recipe, we will stick with the classics! (Recipe inspired by Food Network)

Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 medium russet potato (about 6 ounces), unpeeled
  • Olive Oil
  • Kosher Salt
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat an air fryer to 380 degrees F and spray the basket with nonstick spray.
  2. Assemble: Cut the potato in half lengthwise, then into 1/4-inch slices. Cut the slices into 1/4-inch sticks. Put the fries in a medium bowl and rinse them well with cold water, then drain and pat dry with paper towels. Toss the fries with the oil in a medium bowl, then sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper.
  3. Bake: Working in batches if necessary, put the fries in an even layer in the air fryer basket with no overlapping and cook, turning them halfway through, until golden brown and crisp, 14 to 16 minutes. Remove and season with salt.
