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 the chopped tomato, a little oil, cumin, 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 7 minutes.
- 3
Stir, then air fry for 5 more minutes until bubbling at the edges.
- 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
Go easy on the oil — a light spray or half a teaspoon is all an air fryer needs. Pouring in extra oil or fat isn't necessary and isn't healthy.
