When I was given my diagnosis of crohn's disease my doctor told me I can't have anything acidic, fried, or anything with dairy. But the air fryer was a life saver for me for those days when I crave fried foods. I like that you use very little oil or sometimes none depending on what you make.

Does anyone else here use an air fryer when making certain foods?

Hi and welcome to the forum! I use an air frier too. I use it for kale chips mostly 
Sometimes for a mix of colored peppers and onions. Tomorrow, I am trying fried chickpeas! Im going to trying something such as (without the sugar) :

Or a kind with curry seasoning.
Potatoes in air friers are very popular but should be avoided because of high acrylamide levels produced during any type of high cooking temperatures.

ULTRA Crispy Air Fryer Chickpeas
Crispy air fryer chickpeas are the tastiest and crunchiest snack you will find. Using the air fryer cuts the cook time down to 15 minutes, and they are so much crispier than in the oven!

I bought an air fryer earlier this year and enjoy it. It does a fantastic job cooking chicken. Shake n Bake works well as do dry rubs with BBQ sauce added near the end of cooking time.
