Do you need to use oil in the air fryer?
Typically, no oil is required, and no large amounts of oil. It is a good idea to keep an oil-like olive oil cooking spray or grapeseed oil spray on hand to give a nice little spray of oil to the foods to keep them golden brown and crispy.
Grapeseed oil spray does have a higher smoke point and is the best one to keep on hand.
Each recipe will indicate in the recipe card instructions if oil spray is needed.
