My Favorite Gluten Free Air Fryer Recipes

The air fryer has quickly become one of my favorite kitchen appliances! Here is a list of some of my favorite gluten free air fryer recipes. They are all easy to make with some healthy options for dinner and low carb or keto thrown in. If you've been on the fence about getting an air fryer I highly recommend them!

My favorite air fryer is this Instant Vortex 6 qt 4-in-1 Air Fryer. It's easy to use and is just two pieces to clean when I'm done. I like an air fryer with one large basket so I can do larger recipes. I think an air fryer with two baskets would be great for single servings though.

Choosing Your Air Fryer

When I first got my air fryer a couple of years ago the options were pretty limited, but now there are a lot of versions on the market. I highly suggest getting a five quart or larger model.

It's so nice to be able to fit a 32 ounce bag of frozen broccoli or tater tots in and cook them in one batch. I've also found the larger size gives enough room to fit a turkey breast, small roast or two steaks. Plus, the price difference isn't very much for the large sizes making them totally worth it.

Instant Pot Chicken and Broccoli Casserole

This healthy recipe for instant pot chicken and broccoli casserole uses rice and is super easy to make. This creamy casserole is a one pot meal made in under 30 minutes.

I'm going to say that this isn't the prettiest casserole I've ever made, but it is delicious. I used canned chicken in the recipe for convenience, but you could use raw chicken. If you choose to use raw chicken you will need to add some cooking time.

This recipe calls for wild rice. It is yummy in the recipe and I highly recommend you use it. If you choose to use white rice you may need to reduce the cooking time. Since the husk, bran and germ are removed from white rice it doesn't take as long to cook.

How do I clean my instant pot after cooking savory dishes?

After using your instant pot for savory dishes or in this case using broccoli you may notice that the silicone ring in the lid has an odor. This is simple to take care of!

Wash the metal pot insert by hand or in the dishwasher. Remove the rubber seal from the lid and wash both the lid and the ring. Place the ring back into the lid.

Put the metal pot into the pressure cooker. Add one cup water and one cup white vinegar to the metal pot. Place the lid on the pot and seal. Manually cook for 3 minutes. Let the steam release naturally.

After the liquid has cooled, dump it out and rinse the pot, lid and seal. Your pot, lid and seal shouldn't have any lingering odors.

Ingredients

Tomatoes
Yellow Onion
Carrots
Minced Garlic
Olive Oil
Fresh Basil
Dried Thyme
Dried Oregano
Sea Salt
Coarse Ground Black Pepper
Honey or Granulated Sugar

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

On a baking sheet lay out your chopped tomato chunks. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Roast at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.

In a dutch oven or heavy pot add olive oil and chopped carrots. Cook 5-8 minutes or until the carrots begin to get tender.

Add in the onion and garlic to the carrots. Cook until onion is translucent.

Add the roasted tomatoes, basil, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper and honey or sugar. Stir to combine the ingredients.

Use an emersion blender to puree the sauce to your liking. I like to leave some chunks in my sauce, but you may want the sauce to be smooth. If you don't have an emersion blender let the sauce cool slightly and then do batches in a blender.

Serve the sauce with pasta or freeze in freezer safe containers for later.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to peel tomatoes for this sauce?

I don't peel my tomatoes for this sauce. I roast the tomatoes in the oven on a baking sheet for 30-40 minutes before using them in this sauce. Roasting the tomatoes makes the peels softer.

After I've cooked the sauce down I use my emersion blender to roughly puree the sauce. I like some chunks, but you can puree until the sauce is smooth if you prefer. This process can also be done in a blender.

Tomato peels are full of carotenoids. Carotenoids are antioxidants that protect the body from cellular damage, aging and some chronic diseases. The peels also have flavonols which can support your circulatory system.

What tomatoes are best for pasta sauce?

My favorite tomatoes for sauces are San Marzano tomatoes. I love to grow San Marzano's in my garden. I'm also a big fan of Roma tomatoes for sauces. There are many different types of tomatoes that would make a great sauce.

If you are purchasing tomatoes from the grocery store to make this sauce you should be able to get Roma tomatoes and those will work well. If they are still orange when you purchase them leave them out on the counter for a couple of days to finish ripening.

I find that best tomatoes for sauces and cooking with have a nice, sweet tomato smell when they are ripe and ready to use. They should still be firm and not mushy. I like to look for tomatoes with healthy peels and no blemishes for my sauces.
