  • 2 tbsp Olive oil For seasoning the protein and vegetables.
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 1 tsp Paprika

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the air fryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. Season the protein (salmon or steak) with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Cooking
  1. Place the protein in the air fryer basket and cook at the recommended temperature for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  2. For low-carb vegetables, toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper, and air fry them alongside the protein for about 8-10 minutes.
  3. If using cheese, sprinkle it on top of the protein in the last few minutes of cooking.
Serving
  1. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve hot.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Experiment with different seasonings to suit your taste. Monitor the cooking time based on the thickness of the protein to ensure it cooks evenly. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for 2-3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for best results.
