I bought a Lennox Healthy Choice 3.5 Litre Air Fryer at the beginning of the month. I have been enjoying making recipes from the recipe book, plus others found in cookbooks and recipes online.
Something I had heard about but had never experienced is the Bloomin’ Onion. Famous for being one of the items on the menu at Outback Steakhouse in the USA.
Now I can make it myself! Let me know if you enjoy making it too!
