Air Fryer Sweet & Tangy Plantains

Sweet and Sour Air Fryer Plantains Recipe by Ash's In The Kitchen

I love plantains! I used to pan fry them, but my air fryer does the trick brilliantly with almost no oil! ❤️ I’d only ever had them with sea salt, garlic and Parmesan so I decided to switch it up a bit and make an interpretation of Maduros. They were pretty dang good! Air FryerContinue reading “Air Fryer Sweet & Tangy Plantains”

Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas

I made Chicken Enchiladas for dinner and they were amazing. If you don’t have the spice ingredients, you can certainly use premixed taco seasoning. I know that most recipes call for black olives over top, but I’m not a huge fan of them on my enchiladas. I baked the chicken so I could finish aContinue reading “Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas”

Southern Red Beans & Rice

Creole Southern Cajun Louisiana red beans and rice by Ash's In The Kitchen

I make it every Mardi Gras with some delicious Louisiana Boudin and cornbread! 1 lbContinue reading “Southern Red Beans & Rice”

Pan Fried Pepper Hash Browns

Pan Fried Peppered Hash Browns Recipe by Ash's In The Kitchen

Fresh hash browns are so much better than the ones you find in the freezer aisle. The store-bought ones are typically deep fat fried, but pan frying or air frying your own is healthier and fresher. French toast with berry syrup, baked bacon, scrambled eggs and hash browns! Those hash browns were awesome! 2 RussetContinue reading “Pan Fried Pepper Hash Browns”
