Ingredients that Shine in Your Keto Air Fryer
When it comes to keto, freshness and variety are key. Many recipes call for chicken, shrimp, pork, and an assortment of colorful vegetables. To breeze through prep, consider a tool like the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper, which speeds up the dicing, slicing, and julienning you’ll do for salads, slaws, and sheet pan meals. A drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of parmesan, and bold spices transform basic ingredients into crave-worthy bites, all air-fried to perfection.
How to Get the Most Out of Your Air Fryer
For consistently flawless results, line your basket with Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll or Air Fryer Paper Liners, 125Pcs, 8” Square by Baker’s Signature.

Prepping ingredients evenly and not overcrowding the basket guarantees the best texture. A quick spritz from the YARRAMATE 16oz/470ml Oil Sprayer for Cooking, Black coats food lightly and delivers that golden crunch without the carbs.
