Can You Put Parchment Paper in an Air Fryer?
Use parchment paper in an air fryer safely, with airflow tips, preheating rules, and common mistakes to avoid.
Quick answer
Yes, use perforated air fryer parchment and keep it weighed down with food. Do not preheat with loose parchment in the basket.
Best use
Perforated parchment helps with sticky foods while still letting hot air circulate.
Cut parchment to fit the basket and place food on it before the fan starts.
Avoid loose paper
Loose parchment can lift toward the heating element. Add it only after preheating, with food on top.
FAQ
