Not only can you swap ingredients to make fight night foods and snacks healthier, you can also use different methods of preparation to increase the health factor. Fried foods tend to be a staple for sports events, but not for a healthy diet, but this doesn’t mean you can never enjoy that crispy crunchy goodness ever again.
Investing in an air fryer is a fantastic upgrade for your kitchen and your health. Studies have shown that air frying cuts calories by as much as 80% over using an oil fryer, while also decreasing fat content. Cooking with an air fryer can even drastically reduce the harmful effects of traditional oil frying, specifically the chemical production of acrylamide which has been linked to cancer.
The possibilities are endless as more people cook up an array of creative air fryer recipes, from traditional chicken wings to Brussel sprouts that your kids might actually want to eat.
Don’t forget that although air frying food is often the healthier option by far, you are still technically preparing fried food and these foods should not be diet staples. For the fitness-minded fighter who has that kick-butt game day wing recipe, an air fryer is a must-have appliance for those special occasions.
