Air fryers are revolutionizing the art of roasting across the country with many people using them as a common alternative to a conventional oven. They save you time and money as you don’t have to spend a long time preheating a large oven just to heat up one meal. Using canned food gives you an even bigger shortcut as the food is ready to eat straight from the can meaning the time it takes to crisp it up in the air fryer is significantly reduced.

5 High Protein Air Fryer Recipes That Are HEALTHY and TASTY

To help you fry your canned vegetables to perfection I asked two experts for their opinions: air fryer expert Jenny Catton and food blogger and air fryer expert Farwin Simaak. They shared their knowledge and expertise on this amazing modern appliance. They both have a lot of experience creating fantastic recipes in the air fryer and shared their favourite tips and tricks for getting the most out of canned food.

When you first started cooking in your air fryer it probably didn’t occur to you that beans would be a good food to use but they’re actually a great ingredient to air fry. “My favourite canned foods to cook in the air fryer are beans and legumes” says Jenny Catton. “They’re so versatile and are great for adding extra protein to vegetarian or vegan meals.” The ability to cook beans so quickly and easily means that adding them to your main meal as a healthy side dish has never been easier.

The air fryer can quickly transform the texture of beans creating a satisfying snack with just a hint of savoury seasoning. "Beans and pulses crisp up beautifully in the air fryer creating a crunchy snack that's a great alternative to crisps" Catton explains.
