4 Best Meat Dishes Using an Air Fryer

When you think of meat dishes and low-carb, you likely go straight to the idea of baking 
or grilling the meat. You may never think of frying because, in traditional methods, frying 
means using carbs of some kind. The truth is, there are many ways to create meat 
entrees using an air fryer. If you have never considered what an air fryer can do for you 
and your meat dishes, consider these options.

Carb Free Fried Chicken

Carb free fried chicken is easier to make than you think. Prepare the chicken as you 
would traditionally and simply replace the traditional bread like coating with a carb free 
option. There are many on the market, but one of the easiest to find are pork rinds. 
Simply run them through the food processor until they are dust and coat the chicken like 
you would with any other coating. Fry in the air fryer and you have the traditional meat 
dish without the carbs and oil. 

Honey Ginger Salmon

Salmon is an item that you may love to have, but think is impossible when it comes to 
getting the crispy skin like you would in a pan-fried option. You can still get that crispy 
skin in a low carb and healthy way the air fryer. Just put the salmon in the air fryer for 8 
minutes. Remove and add the garnish along with a nice low-carb side dish like balsamic 
brussel sprouts and cauliflower rice.

Air Fried Steak

Steak is something that you may not think belongs in an air fryer, but it can work out 
very well. Prepare the steak as you normally would. Place the steak in the air fryer for 
14 minutes for rare, and 18 minutes for medium. You will need to keep in mind that you 
will need the extra-large air fryer for this meal. 

Shredded Pork Dinner

You can do a lot with a good shredded pork loin. It can go into carnitas, tacos, and even 
soups. You can do this in the air fryer easily. Just dress the pork as you normally would 
before you oven bake it or place it in a slow cooker. Place the loin on Medium for 25 
minutes. 

These are just a few of the options available to you. You can expand on these options 
as you learn how your air fryer works. You can also try different foods in the air fryer to 
see how they create a crispy option for you that you may be missing with your low-carb 
options.
