4 recipes for traditional Easter dishes to make in the air fryer

With stories and recipes that cross generations, Easter is a time when families around the world come together and follow their traditions according to their beliefs. But one thing is a fact: there is always a lot of food and, regardless of whether people are fasting red meat or another food, the table is always plentiful and with several options on the menu.

People are preferring practicality when making dishes for special dates. Thus, it is possible to enjoy quality time with family members. “The best strategy is to use equipment that speeds up this process, such as electric fryers. Many times, a dish that would take you hours to prepare and would have to be on the ‘hob’, you can leave it there, and the equipment does the work for you”, comments Scott Ye, CEO of Gaabor.

Thinking about it, Scott Ye indicates 4 traditional Easter dishes that can be made in the electric fryer, without losing flavor and quality. Check out!
