# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Crispy without deep-frying: The air fryer delivers that satisfying crunch using just two tablespoons of olive oil.
  • Quick and easy: Only 15 minutes of prep and 25 minutes of cooking—on the table in 40 minutes total.
  • Vegetarian and gluten-free: A crowd-pleasing dish suitable for a wide range of dietary needs.
  • The dip steals the show: A creamy blend of sour cream, Greek yogurt, and fresh spring onions makes every bite even better.
  • Versatile: Works as an appetizer, a party snack, or a side dish alongside grilled meats.
02 -
  • Even sizing matters: Cut your wedges to a similar size so they cook evenly and finish at the same time.
  • Don't skip the cornstarch: Even a light dusting makes a noticeable difference in achieving that extra-crispy crust.
  • Cook in batches: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket—overlapping wedges will steam rather than crisp.
  • Make the dip ahead: Prepare the spring onion dip before you start cooking so it has time to chill and the flavors can meld together.
  • Check your labels: If serving to guests with allergies, ensure sour cream and Greek yogurt are certified gluten-free, and always check for allergens on all ingredient packaging.
