Are air fryers healthy?

Air-fryer recipes are healthy-ish. The main difference between using an air fryer vs. a deep fryer is the amount of oil you need. Air fryers use little to no oil because the unit heats up hot enough to crisp the food. So in that sense, air-fryer recipes are a bit healthier than deep-fried ones.
