Tips & Tricks to Make the Air Fried Vegetable Cutlets
While making these air fried vegetable cutlets is super easy, here are some tips and tricks you might want to note down before you give this recipe a shot.
- If you want these cutlets to be crunchy and crispy, you might want to dip them in a simple slurry made using water and cornflour and then cover them with some breadcrumbs before you air fry them.
- If you want to keep these cutlets gluten free, you can coat them in a mixture of coarsely ground oats instead of the breadcrumbs.
- To cut down the prep time for this recipe, you can choose to boil the potatoes up to a day in advance and then combine it with the veggies when you want to make the cutlets.
- To make these cutlets healthier, you can swap the regular potatoes for sweet potatoes.
- Another great way to make these air fried vegetable cutlets more healthy is to add in roughly chopped nuts of your choice. Peanuts, cashews and walnuts are good options, and they can lend a nice bit of crunch factor to the cutlets too.
- When air frying the cutlets, remember to leave a little space between each cutlet. This will allow the hot air to flow through the basket nicely and will help make the cutlets crispy on all the sides.
- You can also brush a bit of olive oil on the cutlets and grease the Air Fryer basket before you layer the cutlets in. This will help them brown up nicely and get them more crispy too.
Serving Ideas & Suggestions
These crispy air fried vegetable cutlets are perfect to enjoy on their own. They’re full of flavor, and you don’t actually need to team them up with anything, unless you really want to.
I love serving these with my favorite walnut chutney or spicy cashew chutney. You can choose to stick to the classic green chutney too, or just use some ketchup if you want to.
