If you love crunchy fried food but hate excess oil and calories, you need an air fryer! We've got two brand-new recipes to whip up in the clever gadget. (Plus, alternate oven directions... but you'll get the best results with an air fryer!)
Air-Fryer Cheeseburger Egg Rolls
1/6th of recipe (1 egg roll): 153 calories, 4g total fat (2g sat. fat), 357mg sodium, 17.5g carbs, 1g fiber, 3g sugars, 11.5g protein
This is not a drill. We have created crispy egg rolls stuffed with cheesy burger goodness… only 153 calories each. Bonus: Watch how they're made!
Prep:15 minutes
Cook:25 minutes
More:, Four or More Servings
Ingredients:
8 oz. raw extra-lean ground beef (4% fat or less)
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder
Dash each salt and black pepper
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 tbsp. shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
3 tbsp. light/reduced-fat cream cheese
2 tbsp. ketchup
1 tbsp. yellow mustard
6 hamburger dill pickle chips, chopped
6 large square egg roll wrappers (stocked with the refrigerated Asian items in the supermarket)
Optional dips: additional ketchup and yellow mustard
Directions:
Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add beef, and sprinkle with seasonings. Add bell pepper and onion. Cook, stir, and crumble until beef is fully cooked and veggies have softened, about 5 minutes.
Remove skillet from heat, and add cheddar cheese, cream cheese, ketchup, and mustard. Stir until thoroughly mixed and melted.
Transfer mixture to a medium-large bowl. Fold in chopped pickles.
Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a dry surface. Evenly distribute about 1/6th of the mixture (about 1/3 cup) in a row a little below the center. Moisten all four edges by dabbing your fingers in water and going over the edges smoothly. Fold the sides about 3/4 inch toward the middle, to keep mixture from falling out. Roll up the wrapper around the mixture and continue to the top. Seal with a dab of water.
Repeat to make 5 more egg rolls. Spray with nonstick spray.
Working in batches as needed, place in the air fryer cooking basket in a single layer.
Set air fryer to 392 degrees. Cook until golden brown, 7 - 9 minutes.
MAKES 6 SERVINGS
Oven Alternative: Bake at 375 degrees until golden brown, 25 - 30 minutes.
Air-Fried Ravioli
1/4th of recipe (4 ravioli): 195 calories, 6.5g total fat (4g sat. fat), 580mg sodium, 21.5g carbs, 1.5g fiber, 4.5g sugars, 12.5g protein
If you're crazy about those fried ravioli appetizers you find at restaurants, this recipe is gonna be a game changer...
Prep:15 minutes
Cook:15 minutes
More:, Vegetarian Recipes, 30 Minutes or Less, Four or More Servings
Ingredients:
3/4 cup light/low-fat ricotta cheese
3/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 tsp. chopped garlic
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp. salt
Dash ground nutmeg
16 small square wonton wrappers (stocked with the tofu in the refrigerated section of the supermarket)
1/2 cup marinara sauce with 3g fat or less per serving
Directions:
To make the filling, in a medium bowl, thoroughly mix all ingredients except wonton wrappers and marinara sauce.
Lay one wonton wrapper flat on a clean, dry surface. Spoon about 1 tbsp. filling into the center. Moisten all four edges by dabbing your fingers in water and going over the edges smoothly. Fold the bottom left corner to meet the top right corner, forming a triangle and enclosing the filling. Press firmly on the edges to seal.
Repeat to make 15 more ravioli. Spray with nonstick spray.
Working in batches as needed, place in the air fryer cooking basket in a single layer.
Set air fryer to 392 degrees. Cook until golden brown, 3 - 4 minutes.
Place marinara sauce in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until hot, about 30 seconds.
Serve ravioli with sauce for dipping.
MAKES 4 SERVINGS
Oven alternative: Bake at 375 degrees until golden brown, about 12 minutes, carefully flipping halfway through.
