Preparation time:

20 minutes

Difficulty:

Easy

Ingredients:

• 1 lb of your choice of meat (beef, chicken, or pork)
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Skewers

Steps to follow:

1. Cut the meat into 1-inch cubes and place them in a bowl.
2. Add the paprika, salt, black pepper, and olive oil to the bowl, and mix well to ensure the meat is evenly coated with the seasonings.
3. Thread the seasoned meat cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
5. Place the skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the basket.
6. Cook in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes, flipping the skewers halfway through the cooking time, until the meat is cooked to your desired level of doneness and has a nice charred exterior.
7. Remove the skewers from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Tricks and tips:

• Soak the skewers in water for about 30 minutes before threading the meat onto them to prevent them from burning in the air fryer.
• If using wooden skewers, brush them with a little oil before threading the meat to help with the grilling process.
• For added flavor, you can marinate the meat in the seasoning mixture for a few hours or overnight before cooking.

Benefits of the ingredients used:

Paprika is rich in antioxidants and may have anti-inflammatory properties. It can also add a vibrant color and smoky flavor to your dishes. The lean protein from the meat helps with muscle growth and repair, and the olive oil provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
