Instructions

Step 1

Preparing Air Fryer Potatoes

*Start by slicing the potatoes into wedges.* Mix them with the vegetable oil, salt, paprika, turmeric, and aromatic herbs until evenly coated.

*Preheat the air fryer to 200 degrees Celsius (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit).* Place the potato wedges in the air fryer basket and cook them for 20 minutes, ensuring to flip them halfway through at around the 10-12 minute mark for an even crispiness. Enjoy your crunchy yet soft potatoes!

Step 2

Making Chicken Nuggets

*Dice the chicken fillets into bite-sized pieces.* Prepare three bowls: one with flour mixed with salt and paprika, another with beaten eggs, and the last with breadcrumbs.

*First, coat each piece of chicken in the flour mixture.* Then, dip it in the eggs, followed by covering it with breadcrumbs.

*Set the air fryer to 220 degrees Celsius (about 428 degrees Fahrenheit)* and cook the nuggets for 20 minutes. Remember to turn them halfway through for an even golden color!

Step 3

Baking Pizza

*Roll out the unlevered puff pastry into a circular shape.* Use a fork to prick the base of the pastry to avoid bubbling.

*Spread tomato paste and mayonnaise on the base, then layer your toppings including tomatoes, mushrooms, and salami.* Finally, sprinkle generously with cheese.

*Bake in the air fryer at 200 degrees Celsius (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit) for 15 minutes.* Enjoy this quick and tasty pizza with friends or family!

Step 4

Creating Gata

*For the filling, mix flour, sugar, vanillin, and softened butter in a bowl until well combined.* Roll out the puff pastry into a thin layer.

*Brush the surface with egg white, then spread the filling evenly across the pastry.* Roll up the dough gently and cut it into pieces approximately 4 cm (1.5 inches) thick.

*Preheat the air fryer to 180 degrees Celsius (about 356 degrees Fahrenheit)* and bake for 20 minutes after brushing tops with egg yolk. Enjoy these delightful pastries!

Step 5

Making Cheese Pancakes

*Combine cottage cheese, flour, semolina, egg, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl.* Mix well until you have a smooth batter.

*Let the mixture sit for about 30 minutes for the semolina to hydrate.* After that, wet your hands and form small pancakes.

*Cook them in the air fryer until golden brown, flipping them halfway through.* Serve warm and enjoy this nutritious treat!

Servings

When it comes to serving these delightful dishes, the options are endless! Picture this: You’ve just baked a batch of crispy nuggets, and they’re perfect for dipping in homemade sauces like sweet and sour or spicy mayo. 🤤 Pair them with a side of fresh, crunchy veggies for a complete meal that everyone will love!

Variations

If you're looking for gluten-free or vegan swaps, we've got you covered! 🌱

For gluten-free options, try using gluten-free flour in your pizza dough and replace traditional breadcrumbs with ground oats or almond flour for the nuggets. These simple changes can make a whole world of difference!

If you want to go vegan, opt for chickpea flour to create a batter for your nuggets, and substitute the cheese in pizza with vegan cheese alternatives. You can create a delicious vegan Gata by using plant-based butter and sweetening your filling with maple syrup instead of traditional sugar! 🌟

Faq

Can I use regular cooking oil instead of vegetable oil?
Absolutely! Any neutral oil, such as canola or sunflower, will work perfectly in these recipes.
How do I know when my air fryer is preheated?
Most air fryers have a preheat setting. If yours doesn't, a good rule of thumb is to run it for about 5 minutes before adding your dishes.
What if I don’t have an air fryer?
You can still make these recipes in a conventional oven; just keep an eye on them as cooking times may vary!
Can I double the recipes for a larger crowd?
Yes! Just make sure your air fryer has enough space and consider cooking in batches for even results.
How can I make my pizza crust extra crispy?
Pre-bake the crust for a few minutes before adding the toppings and then finish baking. This will enhance that perfect crunch!
What measurement can I use to ensure even cooking of the chicken nuggets?
Make sure each piece is uniform in size. Aim for approximately 1 to 1.5 inches for even cooking throughout.
