How to make Zeppole in an air fryer

First of all, make the dough following the step-by-step procedure in ZEPPOLE di SAN GIUSEPPE

Please remember, once you have obtained the mixture of butter, water and flour, add the eggs one at a time, mix as indicated in the link, until you obtain a dense and full-bodied mixture:

Then, only when the mixture is fresh, you can place it in a piping bag with a 1.5 cm – 1.8 cm wide nozzle.

Then prepare some baking paper, fold it on itself so that it is double and thick

This trick helps you have a more solid base on which to place the donuts in the air fryer. Naturally, make it to the size of your basket

Directly on the baking paper, which you will have held still by attaching weights to the 4 sides, make 4 zeppole

doing 2 rounds, one on the other : the base round of the zeppola has a diameter of 6 cm. Make the second round further towards the inside of the zeppola, so as to almost close (but without closing) the central hole.

Then lift the baking paper and place it inside the basket

If you want to make several zeppole together, make them smaller, 4 cm in diameter, even 6 will fit

How to cook San Giuseppe zeppole in an air fryer

First of all, set gentle modes and preheat your instrument at 180° for 1 minute,

Then decide whether to spray flaxseed or peanut oil with a nebulizer to make them even tastier. Of course you can skip this step for a super lightweight version.

Then cook the first 8 – 10 minutes. until the zeppole take on an initial golden colour.

Finally raise to 200°C and complete cooking for another 5 – 6 minutes. Attention, you may have to extend cooking by 2 minutes depending on your fryer, always test so as not to burn them

Then cook all the other remaining zeppole in this way.

Finally, fill with a dollop of my very cold CUSTOM CREAM, which you will have previously prepared with the ingredients listed and 1 black cherry in syrup on each piece! If you like, you can also add a dollop of cream inside by cutting your zeppola in half and closing it perfectly

Here are yours ready Zeppole in the air fryer

storage

Without filling, I recommend sealing them in cling film, this way they will last up to 5 days.

With filling, keep in the fridge for 3 days.

Smashed brussels sprouts in air fryer – Gordon Ramsay’s version

These smashed sprouts they are my creative and tasty reinterpretation of traditional Brussels sprouts, designed for those looking for a new and quick way to enjoy this winter vegetable. A crunchy and spicy finger food to serve as an aperitif or as a delicious side dish.

A simple recipe, which combines the natural sweetness of sprouts with an irresistible crunchiness obtained thanks to cooking in an air fryer.

Brussels sprouts, native to Northern Europe, are a winter vegetable rich in vitamins C and K, fiber and antioxidants, celebrated for their beneficial properties in strengthening the immune system and promoting digestive health.

Just like smashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts should be boiled or steamed and then “mashed”. To do this I recommend using a meat tenderizer or the bottom of a glass. A brush of extra virgin olive oil will help the breading stick.

In fact, I wanted to flavor my smashed sprouts with a mix of spices* such as paprika, cumin and coriander, to give even more warmth and depth to their slightly sulphurous flavour. The finishing touch? The combination with Tahini, the sesame cream widely used in Middle Eastern cuisine which goes perfectly with the intense flavor of the brassicas.
