Air Fryer Corn On The Cob

When I bought my air fryer 6 months ago, I never expected I would come to use it and love it as much as I do my pressure cooker but I have. Between the two gadgets, I have literally gone weeks without starting my oven. I never would have guessed the could be so useful to me.

Today I would like to feature some blogs I have found that have good air fryer recipes.

1. My Forking Life — I just recently found this blog. It is one of a few blogs I found that routinely posts air fryer recipes for real food, not processed food.

2. Two Sleevers — I have talked about this blog often because I love the food. Dr. Pitre has many great air fryer recipes on her site.

3. Skinny Taste — The first air fryer recipe I tried was for bagels from her air fryer cookbook.

I have cooked a lot of yummy stuff in my air fryer but my favorite thing to cook by far are vegetables. My favorite vegetable so far corn on the cob.

Air Fryer Won Ton Meatballs

Sometimes it takes a good friend to point out the obvious. A few days ago I was complaining about the limited choices I have for lunch now that I am working from home because I don’t own a microwave. I can hear you all gasping but I hardly ever used it. It was taking up valuable kitchen real estate I would rather use for other things, like my air fryer, that I use all the time. When mine quit working, I never replaced it and until now never missed it.

My friend, Ess, said “why don’t you reheat things in your air fryer?” How come it took me 5 1/2 months of owning an air fryer to think of that?

Turkey Breakfast Skillet (Whole 30)

I am not particularly inspired to write or cook lately. I haven’t done a full in grocery shop in several weeks so I am running out of everything. I even ran out of salt. What kind of cook runs out of salt? The weather is so cold all I want to do go back to bed and sleep the day away.

I am posting today anyway because last year with all the things going on in my life I wasn’t posting much or as regularly as I used to and I want to get back into the habit.

This is a simple breakfast casserole from the Whole Kitchen Sink. I made some substitutions because I am not particularly fond of sweet potatoes and I already had some cooked red potatoes on hand. I also subbed orange bell pepper for green because I already had those on hand too. If you wanted to get fancy, you could serve this with a fried egg on top. I just put it over greens with just a touch of ranch dressing.

1/2 lb ground turkey

1 cup diced potato

1/2 bell pepper, diced

1/4 cup onion, chopped

1 TBS olive oil

1 1/2 tsp garlic, minced

1/2 tsp basil

1/2 tsp oregano

1/2 onion powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and diced potatoes. Cook 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned but not cooked through. Add the turkey and spices, brown the turkey for 5 minutes. When the turkey is cooked halfway through, add the green pepper and onion, cook 5-7 more minutes or until the peppers and onions are done to your liking.

Harissa Paste (Whole 30)

I love recipes where you do little work but get a big payoff. This recipe, literally, takes all of 2 minutes to put together and can be used every where. You can mix it with mayo for a sauce or with oil to make a marinade. You can toss it with vegetables, make a salad dressing, you can use it as a rub on meat and a seasoning in other recipes. I am sure there are other things to use this for that I haven”t even thought of yet.

Next week I’ll have a couple recipes using Harissa paste for you so you might want to make a batch to get ready.
