Same ingredients. The steps and times below change to suit your kitchen.
Steps· Air Fryer
- 1
Use canned or already cooked lentils, drained well. Toss them with a little oil, paprika, salt, and pepper — just enough oil to coat, not a pool of it.
- 2
Spread in an air-fryer-safe dish and air fry at 190 C for 8 minutes, stirring halfway.
- 3
Scatter over the cheese and air fry for 3-4 minutes more until melted.
- 4
Check everything is piping hot throughout before serving.
Storage & leftovers
Refrigerate for up to 2 days and reheat in the air fryer until piping hot throughout.
Student tip
Skip pouring in extra oil — a light spray is plenty to crisp this up. Too much oil or fat isn't healthy and just makes the basket greasy.
