The humble air fryer is an appliance of many talents. It can create dishes to satisfy the crispy, fried cravings of your winter appetite but also the healthy, fresh, and light ambitions of your summer self.

While your trusty air fryer really is the all-season performer, it’s also geared to make healthier versions of many of your favourite dishes. Keto? Sure. Low calorie? Yep! Vegan? Absolutely!

Here at the Soho Immersive, we love food, but we are also mindful of what we eat.

So just how are air fryers healthier?

They need less oil.

Because air fryers require little to no oil, there are many recipes that can be quickly whipped up in your air fryer that are not only tasty and quick but healthy. A spray here, or a teaspoon there is a vastly different calorie count than a cup or two of oil in your deep fryer.

They are convenient.

A barrier to healthy eating is often the lack of convenience.

However, health-conscious eaters will be happy to know that air fryers make some dishes quicker and easier to pull together than ever.

Air fryers, thanks to their rapid circulation of heat, cook food in half the time of convection ovens. You can fry chicken in 10 minutes and toss a salad and be eating low calorie food in less time than it takes to defrost a pre-packaged meal in your microwave.

They're perfect for creating low carb meals.

Low-carb, high protein diets can reduce your appetite and reduce your waistline by helping you consume fewer calories.

It’s a misconception that air fryers are designed for high volume fried cooking that you typically wouldn't associate with the components of a healthy meal plan.

Imagine being able to kick off your Keto goals with half the effort, stress, and mess!

So, if you’re looking for healthier, low carb, low fat recipes for your air fryer, here’s just a few of our current favourites:
