You don’t want juicy tomatoes to leak in your BLT filling and make a mess in your air fryer! Whenever you are adding diced tomatoes to something you’re cooking with heat, you have to remove all the seeds. To cut a standard roma tomato, slice off the top, and cut the tomato into quartered spears. Use your knife or a spoon to slide under the seeds in the center of each tomato spear and remove them. Discard the wet seeds, and continue to chop/dice your tomato spears. Air fryers cook quickly by forcing rapid hot air in a condensed space. When you’re cooking a Keto air fryer recipe, you have the potential to dry out your meal. One way to ensure your air-fried food stays moist is to use a hygroscopic condiment or spread. Hygroscopic ingredients absorb and retain moisture from the air, meaning they’ll keep the moisture trapped in your meats while they fry. Some hygroscopic ingredients are mayonnaise, mustards, and ketchup. Jessica L.
