When air fryers sizzled their way into our kitchens, they were known for making healthier crispy fried foods. But you only need to flick through an air fryer cookbook to see how versatile these appliances can be. What I wanted to know, though, is whether an entire roast dinner is where they fall short? Well, to find out, I attempted to cook an entire Sunday roast, trimmings and all, using just my Ninja air fryer. Is it a genuinely viable method? And could it speed up and make the whole process a little easier?
Whether it’s a family-sized spread for Sunday dinner or a more modest affair for two, coordinating a roast dinner is a fine-tuned operation – one that even the most confident home cook can be undone by. From the trays of vegetables and stuffings to the gravy and meat, a roast is a culinary juggling act that can take years to master, with ovens filling fast and timings slipping as you try to ensure all the elements are cooked and ready to plate up at the same time.
