INGREDIENTS IN AIR FRYER ASPARAGUS

Asparagus - Choose medium-thick stalks (add more time for thicker ones).

Oil (spray oil): A little oil keeps the asparagus from sticking to the air fryer and allows the seasoning to stick to it.

Salt and pepper - Asparagus rarely needs more than this for seasoning.

Lemon Juice - Optional, but gives a nice bright flavor.

Okay, I guess you probably do not have asparagus, but I bet you have the salt and pepper. Oh, yes, and of course, you have the oil already in your pantry!

Sauteed Green Beans With Garlic

Alysen — Mon, 30 Oct 2023 12:00:00 +0000

Sauteed Green Beans with Garlic is a super simple, super quick, and super delicious side dish! With just three ingredients, fresh green beans have never tasted so good, and they're ready in about 10 minutes.

Why This Garlic Green Beans Recipe is So Good

Just Three Ingredients! You only need fresh green beans, a few cloves of garlic, and some olive oil to make this flavorful, savory veggie side dish.
It's The Perfect Side Dish. Green beans with garlic are delicious with your everyday meals, and they're also festive enough for holiday dinners like Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Sauteed Beans are a healthier alternative to green bean casserole, and they're tastier than plain boiled green beans. This recipe is the perfect in-between!

Tips and Tricks for Making Sauteed Green Beans with Garlic

Instead of olive oil, try this recipe with butter or vegan butter!
Don't overcook the green beans. Cooking them for just a few minutes and then shocking them in cold water helps them to keep their beautiful vibrant color. (this is called "blanching" if you were wondering)
Use a big enough skillet. You want the beans to fit in it in mostly a single layer. This way they fry rather than steam in the pan.
Don't have any fresh garlic? Season the beans with salt and a teaspoon of garlic powder instead.
To add acidity and freshness, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving is delicious on these garlicky beans, as is a light drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
You can use this same method to cook other types of vegetables too. Broccoli, zucchini, carrots, or asparagus can be blanched and then sauteed with garlic to make a different, but equally delicious veggie side dish.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. These beans are delicious when you make them part of your meal-prepped lunches.
Try my easy green beans and mushrooms recipe too! Or check out this recipe I found for crispy parmesan green beans.

What to Serve with Sauteed Green Beans

This simple green bean side dish will pair wonderfully with any of your favorite main dishes.

Try them with my hearty Vegan Meatloaf, or enjoy garlic green beans with a side of pasta, spaghetti squash, or brown rice.

For dessert, try my Vegan Apple Crisp!

Vegan Avocado Dressing

Alysen — Wed, 30 Mar 2022 12:42:00 +0000

Vegan Avocado Dressing is a creamy salad dressing that's healthy, delicious, and packed with fresh herbs and citrus.

VEGAN AVOCADO DRESSING RECIPE

I can't get enough of this vegan avocado dressing. It has the spirit of a mild guacamole dip, with cilantro and lime, but it's thin enough to toss with a salad or use as a dip for chips or veggies.

Healthy fats from both olive oil and ripe avocado make this a nutritional and delicious choice for your salad or other meals. Use this Vegan Avocado Dressing as a healthy alternative to ranch dressing and dips.

Gather your fresh ingredients and let's make this amazing Vegan Avocado Dressing. You'll have enough for a family meal, or enough for yourself for workweek of lunches. Vegan avocado dressing is perfect tucked into meal prepped lunches with some greens and Air Fryer Tofu.

INGREDIENTS IN VEGAN AVOCADO DRESSING

Avocado - You'll need one avocado, seed and skin removed. Your avocado should be soft and ripe.

Olive Oil - You can use extra virgin olive oil, or substitute with avocado oil for a full avocado experience.

Lime Juice - Freshly squeezed lime juice is key here. It adds acidity and tons of bright flavor.

Cilantro - Fresh cilantro leaves add an earthy, herby flavor. Make sure to use only the leaves. Cilantro stems can be bitter.

Garlic - Minced garlic gives our dressing a warm, savory flavor.

Salt and Pepper - Add to taste. I like to add a nice pinch of both.

Water - You may or may not need water to thin out your dressing. It depends on the size of your avocado and how thick or thin you prefer the dressing to be.

If you have any questions about Vegan Avocado Dressing, please leave a comment below and I will get back to you ASAP.

VARIATIONS + TIPS FOR VEGAN AVOCADO DRESSING

Substitute any other fresh herbs for the cilantro. Try dill, basil, parsley, or a combination of two or more herbs.
Use a different acid. Lime juice is gorgeous when paired with avocado and cilantro, but lemon juice will work too. To skip the citrus flavor all together, use apple cider vinegar.
Make it creamier. Use your favorite plant based milk or mayo to give this dressing a creamier texture if you like. Just add a tablespoon or two and mix well.
Make in a blender: Use either a food processor or a blender to create your vegan dressing. Both will work well. If your blender is not a high speed one, I suggest chopping the herbs a bit before adding them in.
How to store: It keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. I actually like it better after it's sat there for a day or two so they flavors can develop more.

Air Fryer Kale Chips

Alysen — Fri, 26 Mar 2021 23:10:00 +0000

Air Fryer Kale Chips are a super quick and healthy snack that can be made in under 10 minutes. These kale chips will become your new favorite air fryer recipe.

AIR FRYER KALE CHIPS RECIPE

I’ve made kale chips before but never in the air fryer. These air fryer kale chips were something new for me. I am so glad I took a chance on them! If you aren’t sure if you’d like them, I urge you to give these kale chips a try! They are pretty addicting!

We have made some delicious recipes in our air fryer. I am talking about things like air fryer seasoned pretzels, air fryer mozzarella sticks and air fryer asparagus.

In the past when I have used my oven, I needed to make sure that my kale was in a single layer. When you make kale chips in the air fryer, you don’t have to worry about that. You can dump the kale into the air fryer basket and let it cook!

You might be saying, WAIT, what exactly is an air fryer?

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! While smaller inside than a convection oven, the outside is often typically the size of a toaster oven or slightly smaller. Many people buy air fryers to use when camping in their RV or even for cooking “stinky” foods (think air fryer broccoli) outside.

INGREDIENTS IN AIR FRYER KALE CHIPS

Kale- Washed and torn or cut into chip sized pieces.

Oil - Olive oil works perfectly for these chips. Any mild flavored oil will do.

Salt- I like using a nice sea salt on these.

Pepper- Use as much or as little as you like. I like a lot!

If you have any questions, please leave a comment below and I will get back to you.

HOW TO MAKE THESE AIR FRYER KALE CHIPS

Wash and dry your kale. If you are using unbagged kale, be sure to remove the stem and tear into pieces.
Add oil to the kale chips. Take a minute to gently massage the kale and the oil.
Season your kale chips with some sea salt.
Add some pepper to your kale chips.
Mix well.
Put the air fryer basket into the air fryer unit and cook the kale chips.
Let cool and enjoy!

These numbered steps match the numbered photos above and are for illustration purposes. For the complete list of ingredients and instructions, please see the recipe below.

HOW LONG TO COOK AIR FRYER KALE CHIPS

These kale chips cook for only a few minutes. They are literally done in less than 10 minutes, start to finish. The kale chips only spend about 5-6 minutes in the air fryer.

KALE CHIP TIPS

You can use stemmed kale or pre-cut bagged kale. Either of those options work to make these kale chips. If you use the stemmed kale, remove the largest part of the stems.
You can vary the taste by changing up the spices! I have even added nutritional yeast and it was delicious.
Eat your chips immediately. These kale chips do not save like the ones you buy at the store.
If you wash your kale, be sure to dry the kale all the way before putting it into the air fryer.
If you have a Phillips Air Fryer or one that tends to have items “fly” in the air fryer. Be sure to put a trivet over top of the kale. You don’t want the kale to get stuck in the heating part and start to smoke.

HOW DO YOU SEASON KALE CHIPS?

You can keep this recipe simple and just season with a little salt and pepper. But here are a few more seasonings you can sprinkle on:

Garlic powder
onion powder
dill
cumin
chili powder
curry powder

Or try combining some to create a whole new fun flavor!
