In the first episode of Jamie’s Air Fryer Meals, Jamie Oliver showcases the versatility of the air fryer, presenting a range of inventive recipes and time-saving hacks.
The episode, premiering on Channel 4 on Monday 15 April, begins with Jamie transforming frozen fish and tinned beans into a special meal for two. He also prepares quick savoury scones, combining fluffy interiors with golden exteriors, and serves them with a fresh salad or as part of a ploughman’s lunch.
Jamie then merges two culinary favourites: a roast dinner and a chicken curry. Fragrant spices rub the chicken, which is served with crispy poppadoms, fluffy rice, and his signature gnarly vegetables. This low-maintenance dish offers a family-friendly take on a classic roast.
The episode continues with a sweet and salty pork dish, featuring caramelised pineapple, a crisp salad, and noodles coated in a punchy dressing. Jamie also invites his friend Poppy Cooks, the self-proclaimed “queen of potatoes”, to share her favourite potato recipes.
The episode concludes with a dessert designed to impress: Jamie’s air-fried peach Alaska.
The show highlights Jamie’s enthusiasm for the air fryer, with the chef aiming to demonstrate its ability to bake, roast, and create sauces. He emphasises the time-saving and energy-efficient benefits of the appliance, making it a convenient solution for busy families.
Jamie’s Air Fryer Meals premieres on Channel 4 at 8 pm on Monday, 15 April 2024.
