Air fryers are all the hype right now, and for good reason! Let’s face it – a lot of us comfort food lovers might think twice before eating deep-fried snacks, for the simple reason that they’re unhealthy. At the same time, we love that stuff. And that’s why the air fryer is a friend! By most measures, using an air fryer is far healthier than deep-frying in oil.
