Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Wondering what your air fryer can do? How about quickly making foods that use less oil than deep frying and thus have less fat than their traditional deep-fried counterparts? With this book, you can go even further by making foods that contain only vegan ingredients. Plus, every recipe has nutritional data to show you how low in calories and fat each meal is. You can make pizza, tacos, and, yes, even cake--all without compromising your eating habits and without needing to submerge your food in unhealthy oil.

Not only can this appliance fry foods, but it can also bake, roast, and grill. So if you were hesitant to use your air fryer before, now you can put it to good use by making all your vegan favorites quickly, easily, and healthfully. This cookbook features 100 vegan recipes with low calories, low fat, and with detailed nutritional data for every recipe, including calories, fat, carbs, fiber, and sodium.


My Review:
Healthy Vegan Air Fryer Cookbook is a vegan cookbook that focused on recipes that use an air fryer. The book was mainly recipes as it contained only a brief introduction to air fryers and vegan eating. The author used store-bought vegan butter, vegan cheese, vegan mayonnaise, etc., in many of the recipes. She often used canola oil, which isn't healthy, especially if you use a GMO canola. Basically, the author didn't always choose healthy ingredients. She also sometimes had you cook several servings in a row when it didn't all fit in the air fryer--and using an oven would make more sense. While I can use some of these recipes, I'll have to modify them a lot.

She included 18 recipes for breakfast, 25 recipes for main dishes, 17 recipes for sides, 24 recipes for snacks and salads, and 17 recipes for desserts. The recipes provided the preparation time, cooking time, fryer temp, serving size, ingredients, instructions, and tips. Each recipe included nutritional data for calories, total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbs, fiber, sugar, and protein. There was usually only two or three pictures of a finished recipe in each section of recipes.
