It doesn’t really matter what kind of air fryer you use for this recipe. You can use air fryer oven, basket-type or any other type of air fryer. For an air fryer oven I’d use a Kalorik MAXX air fryer oven and for the basket type I’d use a Ninja AF101.
Tips to make the best Air fryer Avocado Balls
Pick the right avocados
Using the right avocado plays an essential role in determining the taste of your avocado balls, so make sure you pick the ripe ones. Look for avocados that have black skin but are still firm inside so that when you press on them, you feel a slight give, but it shouldn’t be too mushy or soft. Do not use the same avocados to make air fryer avocado balls that you use to make guacamole.
Should you use an oil spray?
Using an oil spray is entirely optional. If you wish to have that extra crispiness to your air fryer avocado balls, then you can indeed spray them with some oil spray on top. The final results are the same, except those sprayed with an oil spray have a little extra crunch on the outside. The best spray you can use for this recipe would be a 100% olive oil spray.
Freezing
Freezing the dough and the balls are one crucial step required to make the perfect avocado balls, and you must not skip them. Freezing the dough and the balls will ensure that they set well and do not break while air frying, giving out the perfectly crispy and delicious Air fried Avocado balls.
Serve immediately
Once cooked, do not keep the balls unattended for too long, as they will lose all their crispiness and become soggy. So to enjoy the crispy delight of these avocado balls, ensure you serve them immediately while they are still warm.
Conclusion
All in all avocado balls have to be on your air frying menu because they are easy to make, healhty and the perfect snack for a late night netflix show. Let me know how you like them. Bon Appetit!
