Discover easy, flavour-packed air fryer recipes using sunflower oil. From tikkas to wedges to crispy snacks, learn how sunflower oil enhances aroma, roast, and texture in every air-fried dish - with Tata Simply Better Cold Pressed Sunflower Oil.

Air fryer recipes with sunflower oil are becoming a favourite in Indian homes, especially for quick snacks and easy weekday cooking. A small drizzle of the right oil can completely transform how your tikkas, veggies, fries, or cutlets turn out - crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and incredibly aromatic. At Tata Simply Better, we believe that great flavour begins with great ingredients, and our cold pressed sunflower oil fits effortlessly into the air fryer lifestyle.

Why Sunflower Oil Works Brilliantly in the Air Fryer

Cold pressed sunflower oil has a light, neutral flavour, which makes it perfect for air frying all kinds of Indian and global recipes. It doesn’t overpower spices and allows ingredients to shine.

Here’s why you’ll love using sunflower oil in your air fryer:

• Neutral flavour: Works with Indian, continental, fusion, and kids’ recipes.
  

• Light coating: Helps spices stick evenly over veggies, tikkas, or fries.
  

• Great for roasting: Promotes even browning without greasiness.
  

• Perfect for brushing: A teaspoon is enough to create a crisp finish.

Whether it’s weeknight snacks or festive spreads, cold pressed sunflower oil from Tata Simply Better unlocks beautiful colour, crunch, and aroma in every batch.

Top Air Fryer Recipes to Make with Sunflower Oil

1. Air-Fried Tandoori Aloo

A crowd favourite, tandoori aloo turns out beautifully when coated with sunflower oil. The spices cling better, the potatoes roast evenly, and the aroma is irresistible.

How to prepare:

• Toss baby potatoes with curd, chilli, turmeric, and sunflower oil.
  

• Air fry for 15–18 minutes.

Each bite is soft inside, crisp outside - a great example of how sunflower oil enhances tandoori-style dishes.

2. Crispy Veggie Cutlets

Cutlets roast evenly in the air fryer, but they need the right oil to achieve that golden exterior. A light brush of sunflower oil does the job perfectly.

Tip: Brush cutlets halfway through the cook cycle for a more even finish.

Cold pressed sunflower oil keeps the cutlets balanced in flavour, letting veggies like beetroot, carrot, and peas shine.

3. Air-Fried Masala French Fries

French fries in the air fryer taste even better when tossed in cold pressed sunflower oil before cooking.

How to make:

• Cut potatoes into fries
  

• Toss with paprika, pepper, garlic powder, and sunflower oil

• Air fry until crisp

The fries become beautifully roasted thanks to the natural purity of Tata Simply Better sunflower oil.

4. Air-Fried Paneer Tikka

For Indian-style marinades, sunflower oil acts as the perfect binding element. It gives paneer tikkas a mildly caramelised, smoky finish when air-fried.

Steps:

• Mix curd, chilli, kasuri methi, ginger-garlic, and sunflower oil
  

• Add paneer cubes
  

• Air fry for 10–12 minutes
  

The result is flavour-packed and restaurant-style - effortless with cold pressed sunflower oil.

5. Air-Fried Sweet Potato Bites

Sweet potatoes caramelise beautifully with a light coat of sunflower oil, making them ideal for guilt-free snacking.

Sprinkle with chaat masala after air frying - the oil helps the flavours blend perfectly.

Pro Tips for Using Sunflower Oil in the Air Fryer

To make the most of your air fryer, follow these simple tricks:

• Use just a teaspoon - cold pressed sunflower oil is flavour-efficient.
  

• Mix oil with spices - it ensures better coating and even cooking.
  

• Shake or toss mid-cooking - gives uniform crispiness.
  

• Brush, don’t pour - a silicon brush works wonderfully for applying thin layers.
  

• Add a drizzle at the end - a finishing touch of sunflower oil enhances aroma.
  

These small steps turn everyday ingredients into perfect air-fried delights using cold pressed sunflower oil.
