Healthy recipes with Airfryer

The Airfryer has won over many people thanks to its numerous advantages compared to the conventional oven and the traditional oil fryer. This appliance offers a healthy and tasty alternative for cooking healthy recipes in the Airfryer with a wide variety of foods, and here we tell you why it is such a popular choice, and where you can get it at the best price. 
One of the most notable differences between the Airfryer and the oil fryer is the amount of oil required. While the oil fryer submerges food in hot oil, the Airfryer uses only a fraction of this amount, producing equally crispy and tasty results, but with much less fat. This, coupled with the ease with which you can prepare recipes with the Airfryer, makes it a healthier option for those who want to enjoy fried food without the inconvenience associated with excess fat. 
In addition to its health benefits, the Airfryer also stands out for its versatility. Unlike the oil fryer, which is designed primarily for frying, the variety of recipes offered by the Airfryer is almost infinite: it can grill, bake and even gratinate a wide variety of foods. 
This makes it a more complete tool, suitable for a variety of recipes. At the aforementioned shops, Home and Cook and The Crazy Home, you will find not only the famous Airfryer, but also a range of Airfryer accessories and recipe books to help you get the most out of your new purchase.
Another area where the Airfryer outperforms the conventional oven is cooking time. Thanks to its hot air circulation design, the Airfryer cooks food faster than a conventional oven, making it an ideal choice for those short on time in the kitchen. 

Croquettes in the Airfryer

Ingredients for 24 croquettes:
- 600 ml semi-skimmed milk
- 100 mg cornstarch
- 125 g diced serrano ham
- 1 onion
- 1 pinch of nutmeg
- 1 pinch of ground black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 2 eggs
- Breadcrumbs
- 1 dash of olive oil

 

Instructions:
1. To cook croquettes in Airfryer, start by chopping the onion into very small pieces, preferably using a mincer or food processor to make the process easier. Then, in a frying pan, add a little olive oil and fry the onion until transparent. Add a touch of salt to enhance the flavours.

2. Add the cornstarch to the pan and mix it with the onion for about 2 minutes, allowing it to toast slightly.

3. Add the nutmeg, pepper and milk gradually, while stirring constantly. If possible, use a silicone whisk to ensure a homogeneous mixture and avoid lumps. Adjust the salt to taste.

4. Once the mixture begins to thicken, add the diced serrano ham and continue stirring. When the mixture has reached a thick consistency, remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl. Leave to cool and cover the surface with cling film to prevent a crust from forming. Refrigerate the dough for at least one night.

5. The next day, form the dough into croquettes. If you find the dough difficult to handle, moisten your hands with a little water to make the process easier.

6. To bread the croquettes, beat the eggs in one bowl and place the breadcrumbs in another. Dip each croquette first in the breadcrumbs, then in the beaten egg (removing the excess) and finally in the breadcrumbs again. Use two forks to prevent your fingers from sticking during this process.

7. To cook the croquettes in the AirFryer, preheat the appliance to 200°C for 5 minutes. Then, using a silicone brush, brush each croquette with a little oil, making sure to coat all sides.

8. Place the croquettes in the basket of the AirFryer, making sure not to crowd them and leaving enough space between them. Set the AirFryer to 200°C for 8 minutes, then open the fryer, turn the croquettes over and cook for a further 3 minutes or until golden brown to your preference.

9. The remaining croquettes can be frozen in a container and cooked directly in the AirFryer at a later time, increasing the cooking time slightly until golden brown.

10. Once ready, you can enjoy delicious ham croquettes in the Airfryer, with the taste of grandma's croquettes but using a lot less oil!
