Air Fryer Angel Food Cake Churros

DAVENPORT, Iowa (KWQC) - Dietitian Katie Schaeffer, RD, LD demonstrates how to use a newer kitchen gadget, the air fryer!

What can an air fryer be used for?

Cook recipes from scratch, provide friend texture to foods with a fraction of the oil, reheat foods, and cook frozen foods.

Tips on using air fryer:

Remember to preheat the air fryer
Use oil on foods unless manufacturer instructions specify not to; some air fryers prohibit aerosol spray cans due to chipping
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket
Shake the basket during cooking for even baking
Use a thermometer to test the temperature of food
Reheat foods in the air fryer instead of the microwave for crispier texture
Cook foods in a single layer
Make sure there is at least 5-inches of space around air fryer
