# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The air fryer creates the most incredibly fluffy texture while cooking vegetables just right

  • Perfect for meal prep and tastes even better the next day
02 -
  • Every air fryer cooks differently, so start checking at 12 minutes to avoid overcooking
  • The frittata will puff up dramatically while cooking but settle slightly as it cools
  • Use a pan that fits your air fryer with at least an inch of clearance on all sides
03 -
  • Let your vegetables sit in the egg mixture for 10 minutes before cooking for even better flavor distribution
  • Run a thin knife around the edge of the pan immediately after cooking to prevent sticking
