Slimming World Recipes Using An Air Fryer

I have been a slimming world member on and off from first joining in 1994 through to been a member just before I left England in 2007.

Since then I have relied on Ebay to provide me with the books when me not being able to get to a UK group anymore.

But one reflection I have made repeatedly, is that why when Iwas on Slimming World was the air fryer not about????

That is just totally wrong!

I had to make Slimming World Chips in the oven, give up myroast potatoes and don’t get me started about how awful the egg bakes were thatas a slimming world member you often had recommended.

But an air fryer is a game changer and makes you want to stay on slimming world forever. I mean how is it possible to have such delicious air fryer roast potatoes? Or oil free air fryer chips?

Those are the kind of slimming world air fryer recipes thatI wanted to share with you today. Hopefully, these delicious air fryer recipes willgive you some new inspiration.

But first, let me share something with you about us andour air fryer recipes:

  • 300+ Air Fryer Recipes are currently on Recipe This. We cater for all walks of life. We have people that want to know how to cook frozen food in the air fryer, those that are vegan, those that follow the Paleo diet. We also have a Weight Watchers & Slimming World following. To make it easier for our slimming world members, we have gone through all our air fryer recipes to find recipes that are suitable for every day slimming world air fryer cooking. That way you don’t have to go through all the air fryer recipes to find what you are looking for.
  • Low Syn or Syn Free – The air fryer recipes that we recommend for slimming world are either very low in syn or are syn free. They might use some healthy extras, but overall, they will be healthy and easy to make in your air fryer. They will also often include a small amount of extra virgin olive oil. That might be one tablespoon to feed a family of four, which is perfect for everyday cooking.
  • Clever substitutions – If you want to keep air fryer recipes lower on the syns, opt for alternatives. Swap coconut milk for natural yoghurt and soft cheese for quark. You can also use fry light instead of extra virgin olive oil.
  • Meat recipe subs – some of our meat recipes include skin, simply remove the skin to keep them Syn Free.
  • Disclaimer. Please note I am not a slimming world consultant and my slimming world book is a couple of years old. I can only go from my own experience on slimming world, so do check against your current book or ask your consultant.

Are Air Fryers Slimming World Friendly?

I am sure you arewondering are air fryers slimming world friendly. Well the answer is ABSOLUTELY.Most air fryer recipes are about cooking food that uses hardly any oil but stillhas the flavour and texture of deep fried food.

Because of this youcan make a much lower calorie version of your favourite fries, your favourite roastpotatoes, your favourite kebabs and the list goes on and on.

There are of course some air fryer recipes that are unhealthy and not suitable for slimming world. Such as an air fryer chocolate cake, air fryer brownies or other similar air fryer recipes that use a lot of butter and flour.

But most air fryer recipes are perfect for slimming world.

Also think, slimmingworld promotes a low amount of fat, so if you want your lean bacon, yourfavourite burgers, then bring it on and get yourself an air fryer, as you won’tregret it.

My only regret isthat air fryers were not available 25 years ago!

Best Air Fryer For Slimming World?

If you are on Slimming World, then chances are you will have heard of the Tefal Actifry as it seems to be the air fryer of choice.

But in my opinion after using air fryers for more than 6 years, I have to say that the Tefal Actifry and similar air fryers to the actifry are my last choice.

That is because they were built with just slimming world chips in mind and not the bigger picture of air fryer cooking.

There are so many great things you can cook that are slimming world friendly in the air fryer and if you use an actifry you are going to be limited.

There has also been numerous times when my readers have wanted to follow one of my air fryer recipes and it has just not worked in the actifry.

Many of my slimming world followers that have been air frying for a while have swapped the actifry for a better air fryer.

Plus, the slimming world chips out of the actifry type of air fryer are just not as good.

Here are somefurther reading for helping you choose your air fryer:

Can you put aluminum foil in an air fryer? ›

Foil is safe to use in an air fryer so long as you follow three basic rules: never let foil touch the heating element; make sure the foil is weighted so it doesn't blow around the basket; and avoid contact with acidic ingredients, which can cause the foil to leach onto your food.

Why are my fries not crispy in air fryer? ›

It's essential that you spread the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket and that you leave a little space between each one. If they're too crowded, the potatoes will steam inside the air fryer, and they won't get crispy. In order to give them adequate space, you'll likely need to work in batches.

Why are my wings not crispy in air fryer? ›

Start at a low temperature to render the fat, then increase the air fryer to a higher temperature to crisp the skin. Don't Overcrowd the Air Fryer. If your wings aren't crispy, you likely cooked too many at once (or didn't turn up the temperature enough at the end).

Does meat go brown in an air fryer? ›

What is the first thing I should try in my air fryer? ›

Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts are the best place to start your air-fried vegetable journey. They crisp up beautifully and take no time at all. If you're making these for a crowd, we suggest frying them up in batches as overcrowding the basket can lead to soggy results.

"Put a slice of bread on the bottom of your air fryer," said Kang. "It's a green alternative to foil for catching grease and drips for easier clean-up." In order to minimize food waste, you may want to only use this technique when cooking especially greasy foods (like bacon), and also use bread slices that are stale.

What is the first thing you do when you buy an air fryer? ›

If it's your first time using your air fryer, you should wash the accessories first. Some manufacturers also recommend running it empty for a short time — say 10 minutes — to get rid of any residual smells. Check your manual for guidance on this.

What is the best meat to air fry? ›

Does foil block airflow in air fryer? ›

Foil can disrupt the airflow within the appliance, preventing food from cooking evenly. Although you shouldn't use foil in your air fryer, KitchenAid® countertop ovens with air fry are simple to clean in just a few steps, and some components are also dishwasher-safe.

What is the best cleaner for air fryers? ›

Parchment paper can handle the heat inside your air fryer - up to 428°F (220°C). To get the best results, add the parchment paper to the air fryer basket at the same time as you add your ingredients.
