Air Fried Grapes Ingredients
Grapes: Choose seedless grapes for the best texture and flavor. Any variety of grapes will work, but make sure they are washed and dried thoroughly before air frying.
Olive oil: The olive oil adds a touch of richness and helps the grapes to caramelize and become slightly crispy in the air fryer. It also helps the salt to adhere to the grapes.
Salt: The salt enhances the grapes' natural sweetness and balances out the flavors. It's a small amount, but it makes a big difference in bringing out the best in the grapes.
