Air Fryer or Oven Cook : Three Low Carb Recipe Choices

Do you use an air fryer? I don't have one at the moment! However, knowing many readers do, I thought it definitely worth sharing these three low carb recipe suggestions. Don't worry if you do not have an air fryer, you can use the oven method detailed in each link.


Air fryer Italian stuffed chicken breasts
Cream cheese, pesto, and Parmesan cheese are combined and packed into chicken breast pockets.
Air frying them makes this quick, easy, and mess-free, but they're just as good baked in the oven.

Ingredients
Serves Two
4g carbs per serving
1 lb (2) chicken breasts
4 oz. (½ cup) cream cheese
2 tbsp green pesto
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, finely grated
½ tsp avocado oil
¼ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp ground black pepper
Instructions

Air fryer zucchini/courgette fries with yogurt dip
Do you love the mouthfeel of piping hot fries with a tangy cooling dip?
These Zucchini/courgette fries could become your new best friend.
Made in the air fryer, they're healthier than a traditional fry and sport a flavourful Parmesan crunch.
No air fryer! Don't worry use your oven!

Ingredients
Four servings
3g carbs per serving
Zucchini/Courgette fries
12 oz. zucchini/courgette
½ tbsp avocado oil
½ oz. Parmesan cheese, finely grated
½ tsp paprika powder
½ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground black pepper
Yogurt dip
3½ oz. (½ cup) Greek yogurt (0% fat)
2 tbsp finely chopped scallions/spring onions
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
¼ tsp onion powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions

Air fryer lemon ricotta cheesecake
A fluffy cheesecake with a touch of lemon, topped with fresh raspberries.
The combination of ricotta and sour cream keeps this light in flavour.
Makes a lovely finish to a special meal.
The air fryer method is ideally suited for smaller servings,
if serving more than four, try the oven method.

Ingredients
six servings
7g carbs per serving 
14 oz. (1 2⁄3 cups) ricotta cheese
4 oz. sour cream
½ cup (3 2⁄3 oz.) erythritol
3 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 lemon, zest and juice
½ cup (2¼ oz.) fresh raspberries

I love my air fryer. I've had a few of them over the short time that I've had them. Two died in that time. One, just a year after buying. Overall though, fun to cook that way. Happy Weekend to you and Eddie! Huggs & Bugs, Me.

My brother-in-law the chef tells me if you have a convection mode on your oven you don't need an air fryer as they are the same thing. I guess he knows. These look yummy. Happy weekend.

Magaly Guerrero said...

I don't own an air fryer and have never used one. I sort of love my oven. But who knows, I might try the former one of these days--my boy is always trying to get me to use one. :)

It's me said...

Have a wonderful weekend love from me and Leaf πŸ€❤️πŸΎπŸ€

Kevin and Molly love their air fryer we gave them for Christmas a couple of years ago. As for me, I'd like it, I'm sure. But I don't have room to store it when not in use!

Inger said...

Lots of great food here for us diabetics. I definitely want to make the yogurt dip. I'm such a fan of yogurt.

Conniecrafter said...

yes we have an air fryer and we do love it, it heats up faster than the oven and with just us two it is perfect. The chicken recipe sounds interesting.

Beatrice P. Boyd said...

We do not have an air fryer as our galley size apt kitchen does not have a lot of counter space. Every time, I need to use the Kitchen Aid mixer or crock pot, these appliances have to be taken out of the pantry and then returned after use. That said, many others we know have an air fryer and enjoy using it and also have more counter space!

Sally said...

Oh my! Such beautiful food. I don't have an air fryer either but thinking about it. You always whet my appetite with the recipes, and I thank you for that. :)

Three yummy dishes. No air fryer here, but ovens work well!

When we moved to a place that didn't have an oven, we bought an air fryer. Now that we have anm oven again, I hardly use it, but these might just inspire me to do so--they all look delicious!

baili said...

We see air fryer in display in shopping malls. Never thought of buying until now

Every dish sounds delicious
