Easy Air Fried Pumpkin



I love roasted pumpkin and tried air frying it this time.  It turned out better.  I really like the faster cook time, and the crispier, drier texture.  By dry, I don't mean that it's dried out.  I mean that it doesn't get soggy the way it does in the oven.  Any who, here's my recipe.

Ingredients:
  • 1 bag precut pumpkin (you can cut your own up if you prefer)
  • 5 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 Tablespoon onion powder
  • dash of salt
  • dash of pepper
Instructions:
  1. Put pumpkin in a bowl.
  2. Add remaining ingredients.
  3. Toss.
  4. Arrange in air fryer pan so that pieces are not overlapped.
  5. Air fry at 400 for 20 minutes.
  6. Enjoy!

Bratwurst with Brussels Sprouts and Brown Rice



When the covid-19 pandemic started impacting the residents of Hawaii and the stay-at-home order was put in place, I was a lot more concerned about food than toilet paper.  I already had a lot of toilet paper at home because I had purchased a Costco pack back in late January, so I had enough to last me for at least 3 months, if not more.

In my mind, I thought I needed a lot of food that was shelf stable and would last me a long time because I wouldn't be able to get out of the house to get anything.  I purchased a lot of rice, bread, crackers, canned tuna and chicken, chips, cookies, and other assorted junk.  My body responded negatively to all the junk.  It was not pleased and made it clear by making all my clothes tight. 😢

Most of my posts are delayed.  I usually don't post pictures or videos on the same day that I made the dish because I need time to edit and make it look the way I want because I am a control freak and it needs to be the way I want it.  Sorry, not sorry.  Then sometimes I'll notice a typo or grammatical error and won't bother to correct it. 

With that being said,  this dish was made when I was eating rice.  I'm currently on a Whole 30 journey which eliminates grains, dairy, legumes, alcohol, and sugar.  I miss bread the most.  As of today (5/27/20), I'm on day 18/30, so I'm almost there.  I can do this!

Watch me prepare this.

Roasted Carrot Sticks


Since I moved to my new place and now have an oven,  I've been experimenting and comparing the differences with cooking in the oven versus the air fryer.  So far, the air fryer has been winning all the time.

The carrots in this post are roasted in the oven.   But I have actually been air frying them instead because it's faster and I favor the crisp texture.  This is just a basic recipe.  You can experiment and add a variety of different things like rosemary, thyme, or whatever you like.

Ingredients:
  • Carrot sticks
  • Avocado oil
  • Garlic powder
  • sprinkle of salt
  • sprinkle of pepper
  • sprinkle of dried parsley
Instructions:
  1. Combine all ingredients and shake in a closed container or rub together.
  2. Roast in oven at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or airfry at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
  3. Enjoy!
