Air Frying Root Vegetables - Recipes

Sallie Borrink — Sun, 10 May 2026 01:36:32 +0000

We purchased an air fryer for David and Caroline to use a number of months ago. They really enjoy it and use it multiple times per week.

I purchased a separate one for myself and hope to try it out this week. I'm interested in doing root vegetables in it. I found these recipes below for my to-do list.

This is the air fryer we have.

My Digital Instant Read Thermometer

I'm old enough to remember using the analog thermometers with the silver stick and round section to read.

But there is something to be said for a digital thermometer.

The first digital thermometer I bought was so-so. Then someone in the house didn't realize it wasn't waterproof. That ended that pretty quick.

This is the one I use now and it's great. Waterproof and super easy to read.

Did I mention waterproof? 😆

So far I've only used it for meat, but it can be used for other things.

I've Discovered Red Dutch-Process Cocoa Powder

I shared my homemade Mocha Sauce recipe that includes Dutch Process Cocoa four years ago. I had to switch the cocoa I was using and decided to try the Guittard available at Meijer.

I didn't even realize red cocoa was a thing.

It is truly amazing. The difference is profound. So much smoother. Wow.
