WHAT IS AN AIR FRYER?

It is a countertop appliance that will soon win your heart over! It is basically a smaller (the inside of it) type of convection oven that moves very hot air around.

The circulating air cooks your food quickly and evenly. I am guessing that you have probably seen an air fryer infomercial or two!

Ingredients for Air Fryer Chex Mix

• Corn Chex
• Rice Chex
• Pretzels
• Pumpkin Seeds
• Garlic Salt
• Butter

How to make Air Fryer Chex Mix

1. In a large bowl combine the corn chex, rice chex, pretzels and seeds. Remember you can add the pumpkin seeds at the end if your air fryer basket has big holes.
2. Next, melt the butter and pour over the mixture. Stir to coat.
3. Add in the garlic salt, stir to coat.
4. Cook in the air fryer at 350 Degrees F for 3 minutes. Then gently shake air fryer basket to mix. Cook for another 2 minutes. When cooking has finished, let the mixture cool for 6 minutes. Then ENJOY!

Tips for Air Fryer Chex Mix

• If you have an air fryer basket with bigger holes, you may need to wait and add the pumpkin seeds AFTER the chex mix has cooked. Otherwise, you may lose them through the holes and the seeds will get stuck in the bottom basket.
• If you like wheat chex and you are not gluten free, you can sub that in.
• You can use dairy or dairy free butter for this air fryer chex mix.

HOW DO I CLEAN MY AIR FRYER?

That is a great question and it will vary by model. I honestly get this question a lot!

For our power fryer Xl  and Cosori Air Fryer we have a removable inner basket. So we can hand wash each basket individually.

It is listed on the new ones in the instruction manual that the basket is dishwasher safe. Be sure to check your manual.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR AIR FRYER – STEP BY STEP

1. Unplug your air fryer from the outlet. While this might seem like common sense, it is worth mentioning as it is very important.
2. Let your air fryer completely cool down. There is no need to immediately clear your machine right after use. It is dangerous and you can easily burn yourself!
3. Wipe the outside of your oil less fryer with a damp cloth. The cloth should be wet enough to gently wipe away food or grease but it should not be dripping with moisture.
4. Remove the basket container. Your basket should have two parts. Be sure to remove the inner basket from the outer basket, when cool. Gently scrub each basket with soap and water. Many new air fryer models have dishwasher safe baskets!
5. If the inside of your air fryer is dirty, you can wipe it down with a damp sponge.
6. Check the heating element of your fryer. You might need to gently turn the machine upside down to easily see and access the air fryer heating element. You can use a damp sponge to clean or a soft brush.
