As bestselling author of The Ultimate Air Fryer Cookbook, Clare Andrews knows all the tricks for making the most of this piece of kitchen kit. In her Air Fryer Masala Lamb Chops, the meat is marinated in a heady mix of spices before being cooked over the veg to add even more flavour. Another top tip: soak the spuds in water for 30 mins to remove starch, then drain and pat dry, so they won’t stick together when cooking.Time and servings
