Why It Works
The air fryer circulates hot air around the food, cooking it evenly and quickly without the need for added fat.
The high heat of the air fryer caramelizes the vegetables, giving them a sweet and flavorful exterior.
The short ribs are cooked until they are fall-off-the-bone tender, thanks to the combination of the air fryer's heat and the natural moisture of the meat.
The fresh herbs add a touch of brightness and flavor to the dish.
