Cabbage in Air Fryer
Remove the damaged outer leaves and cut the base of the head. Divide the head first in half, then into even slices. Rinse under running water and drain.
Place the washed and sliced cabbage in a tray suitable for the air fryer, then season with salt and spray with some oil.
Place an elevated rack inside the air fryer. Put the tray with the cabbage on the rack. Close the fryer without waiting for it to preheat. Set the temperature to 302°F and the time to 7 minutes (for me it’s the preheat program, to which I reduce the time). For more even cooking, halfway through, turn the cabbage slices.
Cook until the cabbage is crispy and golden but not dry.
TRADITIONAL OVEN COOKING
Bake at 356°F in a static oven for about 20 minutes, possibly covering with aluminum foil.
STORE cooked cabbage in air fryer
Allow to cool completely at room temperature. Transfer to an airtight container or food bag and refrigerate. Store for up to 3 days.
To reheat, warm briefly in the air fryer or oven to maintain crispiness.

Choose heat-resistant materials that allow good air circulation. Aluminum or stainless steel containers are ideal as they are durable and safe, or silicone trays, which prevent food from sticking. Ceramic containers, if suitable for high temperatures, are also a good option. While disposable aluminum containers or parchment paper are convenient, they are not eco-friendly.
Why use a silicone mat at the bottom of the air fryer?
The mat collects food and grease residues, preventing them from sticking to the bottom. Additionally, it helps distribute heat evenly, making it easier to remove food once cooked.
