Prepare the chicken wings: Toss them with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Place them in one basket of the air fryer.

Prepare the sweet potatoes: Toss the sliced sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Place them in the other basket.

Cook simultaneously: Set the timer for 25 minutes. Halfway through, swap the positions of the baskets and shake them for even cooking.

For the salmon:

2 salmon fillets

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat your dual air fryer to 350°F (177°C).

Prepare the salmon: Place each fillet on a piece of aluminum foil. Top with butter, minced garlic, and lemon slices. Fold the foil around the salmon to create a packet.

Prepare the asparagus: Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place them in the other air fryer basket.

Cook: Place the salmon packets in one basket and the asparagus in the other. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and the asparagus is tender.

Serving: Carefully open the salmon packets (watch for steam) and serve with the roasted asparagus.

Tips for Dual Air Fryer Cooking:

Timing is Key: Learn the cooking times for various foods, so you can pair dishes that cook in similar times.

Basket Swap: Halfway through cooking, swap the baskets (if your model allows) to promote even cooking.

Don’t Overcrowd: To ensure crispiness, don’t overcrowd the baskets. This allows hot air to circulate effectively.

Cooking with a dual air fryer not only saves time but also promotes healthier eating by using less oil. These recipes are just the beginning. Experiment with your favorite ingredients and discover the versatility of dual air frying
