Dry your food as much as possible first.
In an exclusive interview with People, Barrymore opened up about her top trick for getting dishes crispy in the air fryer: removing as much moisture from any item you're planning to air fry, from meat to vegetables, before it goes in the basket.
"This also prevents excess smoke and encourages browning," Barrymore explains.

Space out your food.
Much like in a traditional baking pan, putting too many items into the air fryer at once can lead to a mushy mess.
"Don't overcrowd the basket; it'll lead to uneven cooking," Barrymore cautions. Spacing food out within the air fryer and moving it around periodically can help mitigate this problem, she explains.
Use the air fryer in place of your microwave.
Don't want to risk ruining your food by nuking it? "Instead of the microwave, use [the air fryer] to reheat foods for tastier leftovers," says Barrymore. And for insight into how your favorite stars stay healthy, Halle Berry Says This Is Her "Favorite Way to Stay Fit" in New Workout Pic.

Even if you're a culinary novice—or have had some serious mishaps in the kitchen in the past—Barrymore says the air fryer is perfect for getting home chefs out of their comfort zones while delivering amazing results.
Barrymore says the air fryer is perfect for "[getting] a texture that before you had to broil and be really talented in the kitchen to get." Among her favorite recipes to make in the device? Tasty buffalo cauliflower.
