Remember that time you tried to make bacon in a pan and it splattered grease all over your stove? Air fryer + greaseproof paper = zero splatter, all crispiness. You can even make a little paper “pouch” for delicate fish or garlic bread. It’s like giving your food a cozy blanket.
And the cleanup? You just lift the paper out and toss it. No scrubbing. No soaking. That’s extra time to do something fun—like dance in the kitchen or binge-watch a show. Greaseproof paper is basically a life hack disguised as a pantry staple.
Can you put greaseproof paper in air fryer?
One more thing: what about high heat?
Most greaseproof paper is safe up to about 425°F (218°C). If your air fryer goes to 450°F, you might want to lower the temp slightly or check the paper’s box. But honestly, for 90% of recipes—fries, nuggets, salmon—you’re perfectly fine. The paper will brown a bit, but that’s just character.
If you’re feeling adventurous, try lining the basket and making air fryer cookies. The paper keeps them from spreading into a sticky mess, and you get perfectly chewy bites. Yes, you can bake in an air fryer. Welcome to the next level.
