    Air fryers have become very popular of late, and I have also fallen for the craze. But I have a secret for you: an air fryer is simply a small convection oven, and anything you make in an air fryer can be made in a convection oven, or even a conventional one.

    These easy oven recipes for beginners are the non-fried version of some of our most popular fried foods.

    Please bear in mind that air frying and baking will never get the same texture and consistency as frying, these healthy oven recipes have their own merit, and as an added bonus, no cleaning greasy stoves!
