Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- cooking spray, as needed
Instructions
- Slice Strawberries: Wash the strawberries and cut them into even slices to ensure they cook uniformly in the air fryer.
- Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Strawberry Slices: Place the strawberry slices evenly spaced in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure not to overlap to allow for proper air circulation.
- First Air Frying: Air fry the sliced strawberries at 180°F for 15 minutes. This low temperature helps gently dry and soften the strawberries without burning them.
- Flip Strawberries: Using a spatula, carefully flip the strawberry slices to ensure even cooking on both sides.
- Second Air Frying: Continue to air fry at 180°F for an additional 25 minutes until the strawberries achieve the desired texture.
- Repeat if Needed: If cooking in batches, repeat the process with the remaining strawberry slices.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once done, serve your air-fried strawberries as a snack or topping for desserts and enjoy!
Notes
- If your strawberries are particularly juicy, pat them dry before cooking to remove excess moisture. This prevents soggy texture and helps the strawberries crisp up better in the air fryer.
- For best results, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to allow heat to circulate freely around the strawberries.
- Adjust air frying time slightly if your air fryer runs hotter or cooler for optimal texture.
