Ingredients
- paneer300 g cubed
- olive oil2 tbsp
- capsicum1 cup chunks
- cherry tomato1 cup
- oregano1 tsp
- garlic2 cloves minced
Method
Toss with oil
Toss the paneer, capsicum and cherry tomatoes with the olive oil, garlic, oregano and a pinch of salt. A light, even coat of oil helps every piece brown and stops the paneer sticking to the basket.
Spread it out
Tip the mix into the basket in a single layer so no piece sits on another. When they overlap they trap steam and turn soft, but spread out they roast and colour nicely at the edges.
Shake midway
Shake the basket once halfway through so the pieces turn and every side gets colour. Without a shake the tops brown while the undersides stay pale and soft, giving an uneven roast.
Crisp and plate
Air fry at 185°C for 12 min until the paneer edges are golden and the cherry tomatoes soften and blister. The blistered tomatoes turn juicy and sweet, so arrange everything on a platter and serve warm.
