How air frying changes nutrition
Air frying does not remove the carbohydrate already present in the food. The biggest differences usually come from whether the food is breaded, coated with starch, brushed with oil or served with a sweet sauce.
Starch is the main carbohydrate source
Potatoes, sweet potatoes and plantains are naturally starch-rich, so the portion size has a large effect on total carbs. Breading and sweet sauces can increase the value further.
