Trying to eat lighter in the new year usually starts with snacks. That is where most people slip. Fried things are easy to reach for, especially in the evening. An air fryer helps because it gives the crunch without needing oil every time. Using a TTK Prestige air fryer makes it easier to keep snacks simple and regular, instead of treating them like cheat food.
Boiled chickpeas tossed with basic spices turn crisp in the air fryer if you give them enough time. They stay crunchy even after cooling and work well as a mid-evening snack.
Mashed vegetables mixed with lentils or breadcrumbs hold their shape well in the air fryer. They brown slowly and do not need shallow frying, which keeps them lighter.
Sweet potatoes cook evenly and caramelise on the edges without oil. They are filling and work better than packaged snacks when hunger hits suddenly.
Paneer does not dry out in an air fryer if the heat is not too high. The outside firms up slightly while the inside stays soft.
Makhana roasts well and does not need constant stirring. It is one of the easiest snacks to make when you want something warm but light.
