Pillow-y soft, buttery goodness: that’s how I’d describe these Air Fryer Dinner Rolls. Don’t worry though, making them doesn’t get easier than this! 

Fresh bread baking in your kitchen is one of life’s greatest joys, and these Air Fryer Dinner Rolls will fill your space with that delicious aroma. 

That’s right. Air fryers aren’t just for frozen snacks or reheating pizza. From Sponge Cake to Baked Pasta to these Dinner Rolls, it’ll surprise you just how much you can do with your air fryer. These rolls are quick to make, requiring only 14 minutes of cooking time, and they’re even easy to make eggless (see below for the egg-free version). Serve them with butter (essential!), eggs, dips, or curry for a cozy meal.

Ingredients for Dinner Rolls

Egg: Whole eggs used in the dough to help the bread rise and make it super soft and spongy. Alternatively, we also use one whisked egg as an egg wash

Yeast: Instant yeast mixed in with lukewarm milk and sugar to activate it. This helps the dough rise to the double it’s size and makes the bread super soft and spongy

Oil: Makes the bread really soft from the inside

Flour: All purpose flour or maida forms the base of the dough. I would not recommend using whole wheat flour as it won’t have the same flavor and texture

Salt: To season

Seeds: Kalonji and white sesame seeds used as a topping. Even though this is optional, it adds a lovely nutty flavor so I highly recommend it

Frequently Asked Questions

Richa’s Top Tips

• The fluffiness of your dinner rolls is all in the kneading. So, make sure to knead your dough for at least 10-12 minutes. Your arms should definitely be tired by the end of it!
• To check if the dough is kneaded well, press the dough & it should bounce back quickly. Alternatively, take a small piece of dough, stretch till it becomes a thin film without tearing. If it tears, knead it for a few more minutes and test again.
• If you have a stand mixture, use that instead. That makes the kneading process so much easier.
• Check the temperature of the milk. First, make sure the milk used to activate the yeast is lukewarm and not boiling hot. If the milk is too hot, it can kill the yeast and prevent the dough from rising properly.
• You can also make these dinner rolls eggless. Simply swap the egg in the dough for melted butter for an eggless version.
• Dinner rolls aren’t just for dinner. In fact, I often make these for breakfast to serve with eggs, aloo vada or misal. They also make a great accompaniment for soups and stews whenever we make them. It’s a really versatile recipe that you’ll find handy keeping in your back pocket.  

Storage Tips

• Fridge: Once the dinner rolls have cooled completely, transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week.
• Freeze: These dinner rolls are pretty freezer-friendly. Store them in ziplock bags or freezer safe containers to keep good for up to 2 months. Let them thaw at room temperature for a few hours before reheating.
• Reheating: To serve, warm the rolls in the microwave for a few seconds or heat them in the oven until soft and warm again.

Serving Ideas

These soft, fluffy dinner rolls are incredibly versatile and can be served in so many ways:

• Along with soups and stews: Serve them warm alongside creamy soups, hearty stews, or curries to mop up every last bit.
• As a side for dinner: These rolls are perfect with roast chicken, grilled vegetables, pasta, or any comforting main meal.
• Make mini sandwiches: Slice them in half and fill them with cheese, grilled chicken, paneer, eggs, or your favourite sandwich fillings.
• With butter and spreads: Serve them warm with salted butter, garlic butter, cream cheese, jam, or honey.
• For a breakfast spread: Toast leftover rolls and serve with eggs, avocado, or your favourite breakfast toppings.

Once you start making dinner rolls in the air fryer, you’ll never buy them from the store again. These are addictive! Enjoy them fresh and you’ll be making these again and again. Send me pics of your recreations over on my IG @my_foodstory!

Equipment

• 1 Air Fryer

Ingredients

For dinner rolls

• 1 whole egg approx. 60 grams
• 3 tablespoons sugar 38 grams
• 1 ½ teaspoons instant yeast
• 1 cup lukewarm milk 240 ml
• ¼ cup cooking oil
• 3 cups all purpose flour / maida 405 grams
• ¾ teaspoon salt

For egg wash

• 1 egg whisked with 2 teaspoons of water

For topping (optional)

• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon kalonji seeds

Instructions

• Take lukewarm milk and 1 ½ tablespoons sugar in a large bowl. Add yeast and allow to stand for 3-4 minutes till it gets frothy.
• Add the remaining 1 ½ tablespoons of sugar, egg, oil & salt and whisk till everything combines well. Add all purpose flour & knead it for at least 10-12 minutes. To check if the dough is kneaded well, press the dough & it should bounce back quickly. Or take a small piece of dough, stretch till it becomes a thin film without tearing. If it tears, it should be kneaded more.
• Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and rest it for 1 to 2 hours in a warm place till the dough rises and almost doubles in size. Punch the dough down and transfer it onto the kitchen platform and flatten it.
• Brush the airfryer basket with butter.
• Divide the flattened dough into 15 equal portions of 52 gms each.
• Shape each portion into a smooth ball using the tuck method.(Watch my video for detailed steps)
• Place them in the airfryer basket with some gap between each other. Allow it to proof for an hour till each ball rises and gets puffed up. See note 2.
• Brush each roll with egg wash and sprinkle white sesame seeds & kalonji seeds.
• Air fry at 150 C for 12 minutes.
• Follow the above steps 7 to 9 for the rest of dough balls to make the dinner rolls.

Notes

1. Kneading the dough very well is very important, so do not skip it.
2. Air fryer with 5 litres capacity holds 9 rolls at a time and the one with 7 litres capacity holds 12 rolls.
3. Topping with sesame seeds and kalonji seeds is optional but do not skip it as it gives a good flavour to the dinner rolls.

These air fryer roasted veggies is the easiest side dish I make at home! They go with pretty much everything, and the air fryer gets them perfectly golden and tender without any fuss.

These air fryer roasted vegetables have become our go-to side for pretty much every non-veg meal we make at home. They need barely any oil and no babysitting, which frees me up to focus on the main dish. Plus, that roasted, slightly charred flavour of the veggies makes them so addictive!

To make these roasted air fryer veggies, I have used  babycorn, carrots, broccoli, beans, zucchini, and onions, but you can swap in whatever vegetables your family enjoys. If you’ve been using your air fryer regularly for recipes like our air fryer chicken tikka or air fryer lemon garlic chicken, these roasted vegetables make the perfect side to go with them.

Ingredients for Air Fryer Veggies

Vegetables: Babycorn, carrots, broccoli florets, beans, zucchini, and onion 

Seasoning: Salt and crushed pepper

Dijon mustard: Adds slight tanginess and depth of flavor. You can also use kasundi instead 

Oil: Olive oil or any neutral cooking oil 

Water: A couple of tablespoons added to the outer basket to prevent the vegetables from drying out while roasting

Frequently Asked Questions

Richa’s Top Tips

• Cut the vegetables into large pieces. They shrink significantly while roasting, so what looks like a big chunk raw will be the perfect size by the time it’s done. Small pieces will shrivel up and dry out.
• Add the vegetables in stages based on cooking time. Babycorn  and carrots take longer, so they go in first. Broccoli, beans, zucchini, and onions cook faster and get added halfway through. This way everything finishes at the same time without anything being overcooked or undercooked.
• Line the basket with baking paper. This traps the natural juices from the vegetables and prevents them from drying out while roasting. It also makes cleanup much easier.
• Add water to the outer basket. Just a couple of tablespoons. This creates a little steam that keeps the vegetables moist on the inside while the air fryer crisps up the outside.

Storage Tips

• In the fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The vegetables hold their flavour well but will soften as they sit.
• Freezing: Not recommended. Roasted vegetables lose their texture once frozen and thawed, especially broccoli and beans, which turn mushy.
• Reheating tip: Pop them back in the air fryer at 200°C for 3-4 minutes to crisp them up again. The oven works too but takes longer. Avoid the microwave, as it makes them soft and steamy rather than crispy.

Serving Ideas

These air fryer vegetables are a side dish at heart, so they pair well with almost anything:

• With Chicken Ghee Roast: A plate of rich, spicy ghee roast with these roasted vegetables on the side makes for a really balanced meal.
• With Pepper Mutton Fry: The simplicity of the roasted veggies pairs perfectly alongside a bold, peppery mutton fry.
• In a grain bowl: Pile them over some cooked quinoa or rice, add a spoonful of hummus, and drizzle with olive oil for a healthy, filling lunch.
• In a wrap: Stuff them into a warm whole wheat pita with some hummus and pickled onions for a quick vegetarian meal.
• With Mediterranean Quinoa Salad: Toss the roasted veggies into this salad while they’re still warm for a heartier, more substantial version.

Customisation Ideas

• Go Mediterranean: Toss the vegetables with dried oregano, garlic powder, and a squeeze of lemon after roasting. Crumble some feta on top while they’re still hot.
• Make it Indian: Swap the salt and pepper for chaat masala, amchur, and kashmiri chilli powder. Finish with a squeeze of lemon, and your masaledar roasted veggie chaat is ready.
• Add paneer or chicken: Toss marinated paneer cubes or chicken pieces in with the second batch of vegetables. They crisp up beautifully in the air fryer alongside the veggies.
• Try different vegetables: Sweet potatoes, potatoes, mushrooms, bell peppers, and cauliflower all roast really well in the air fryer. Use whatever is in your fridge and adjust the timing accordingly.

Did You Know?

Roasting vegetables at high heat triggers the Maillard reaction, the same chemical process that makes a steak taste so good. When vegetables are exposed to temperatures above 150°C, the natural sugars and amino acids on their surface react with each other and create hundreds of new flavour compounds that don’t exist in the raw vegetable. That’s why roasted carrots taste sweeter than boiled ones, and why roasted broccoli has a nuttiness that steamed broccoli never will. The air fryer is particularly good at this because it circulates heat directly around the food, creating more surface contact than an oven. 

If you’ve never roasted vegetables in the air fryer before, give this recipe a try, and I think you’ll wonder why you didn’t start sooner. It’s one of the easiest, most useful things your air fryer can do. Share your pictures with me on Instagram @my_foodstory  when you try it.

Seriously satisfying high protein salad with edamame, crispy tempeh, cabbage, carrots, kale, in a creamy peanut gochujang dressing. 23 gms of protein, meal prep friendly. (gluten-free, soy-free, and nut-free options)

This salad is so hearty, crunchy, and delicious. It has a ton of protein, fiber, vitamins, and iron. It packs over 100 grams of protein in the whole bowl, plus 30 grams of fiber, and 19 grams of iron. It’s also a great source of vitamins A, C, and K.

This is a salad that’s going to keep you satiated and satisfy your taste buds because there’s so much flavor in the dressing. I use a peanut gochujang dressing because that flavor combination is just fire. Everybody loves a peanut butter dressing, and we’re going to level it up with some gochujang. It’s so good!

There’s protein from the creamy peanut gochujang dressing, sesame seeds and peanuts, crispy, crumbled gochujang tempeh and edamame! We add lots of veggies for even more fiber, including cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, cucumber, snap peas, green onion, and kale. You can use whichever veggies you have on hand, and use more or less to taste. If you don’t like cabbage, use lettuce instead. If you’d like more carrots, add more carrots. Just play around with the amounts based on your preference.

Then we’re going to add crispy tempeh which has been toasted and coated in a sticky gochujang and lime zest glaze, which is so amazing in this salad. This is the best way to eat tempeh!

We also add some edamame. I like to cook the edamame a little, then add soy sauce and garlic because that adds another layer of flavor and texture to the gochujang salad. You can also add the edamame as is if you prefer.

Then there are sesame seeds and peanuts for added crunch and even more protein. The peanut butter dressing is very flavorful. If you’re allergic to peanuts, use almond butter or cashew butter instead.

Why You’ll Love Peanut Gochujang Salad

• amazing flavors and textures from creamy peanut butter, spicy gochujang, and lots of crunchy veggies, nuts, and tempeh
• packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins
• perfect for picnics, parties, and potlucks
• easy to make gluten-free, soy-free, and even nut-free
