Embrace Autumn Comfort Food with Your Air Fryer

Whilst most people think about getting their slow cooker out at this time of the year, the air fryer is also perfect for creating comforting, warming dishes which are especially appealing during the cooler autumn months. With the air fryer’s ability to roast, crisp and even bake, it can really enhance the flavours of our favourite foods.

As we know, Autumn is the season for squash and root vegetables like sweet potatoes, carrots, parsnips and beetroots to name but a few. Using the air fryer to roast these delicious veggies, it can give you a crispy exterior but keeping their natural sweetness and tenderness on the inside. The air fryer cooks your veggies using less oil, which is healthier but still provides that satisfying crispy texture. Not only can you air fry autumn vegetables for the perfect side dish to a Sunday roast, you can also air fry then blending them to make a delicious soup for a light lunch or starter. My favourite is air fried butternut soup at this time of year. And why not air fry your pudding as well.

We picked blackberries this weekend then made a delicious crumble in the air fryer! Not to forget, this is also apple season, so why not use your air fryer to create apple crisps? You could turn the humble apple into a delicious and healthy snack, perfect for school lunch boxes or that mid afternoon snack attack. Using your air fryer for autumn cooking allows you to enjoy the flavours of the season in a quick, healthy, and versatile way. Whether it’s roasted root vegetables, a warming veggie soup, a blackberry crumble or apple crisps, your air fryer can help bring out the best in all your seasonal cooking.
