At Kitchen Curated, we know that midweek meals need to be quick, nutritious,
and fuss-free. That’s exactly why our silicone air fryer inserts have become a
go-to kitchen essential for families, busy professionals, and anyone looking to
cook smarter—not harder. Our inserts help food cook more evenly, reduce
clean-up, and prevent ingredients from sticking, all while promoting better
airflow for tastier results. Here are seven easy dinners made even simpler with
your Kitchen Curated silicone insert—complete with recommended
temperatures and timings for consistent, reliable cooking.

Silicone Inserts for Air Fryer

Crispy Salmon Fillets with Garlic Greens


Temp: 200°C / 390°F – Time: 10–12 minutes
Achieve crisp salmon skin and tender flakes with zero sticking. Add a drizzle of olive oil, fresh lemon, salt, and pepper, then toss green beans or tenderstem broccoli directly onto the insert for the final five minutes. It’s a quick, high-protein dinner with a fresh finish.

Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs


Temp: 190°C / 375°F – Time: 18–20 minutes
Our inserts lock in moisture and keep sticky marinades from baking onto your air fryer basket. Flip halfway through for a perfectly glazed, golden finish. Serve with quinoa or mashed sweet potato for a hearty, protein-rich plate with minimal prep.

Stuffed Bell Peppers


Temp: 180°C / 350°F – Time: 15–18 minutes
Halved peppers stay upright in our silicone liners, allowing fillings like spiced mince, lentils, and cheese to cook evenly without mess. Lightly oil the liner for easy lifting and a golden, slightly crispy base on each pepper.

Halloumi and Veggie Skewers


Temp: 200°C / 390°F – Time: 8–10 minutes
Stack courgette, peppers, onion, and halloumi for a Mediterranean-inspired meal. Our liner prevents bits from falling through the basket and catches oil and seasoning for a cleaner finish. Flip once for even charring.

Breaded Cod with Homemade Chips


Temp: 200°C / 390°F – Time: 15–18 minutes
Toss hand-cut chips in oil and seasoning, then give them a head start before adding your breadcrumb-coated cod. Our insert handles both without cross-contamination or sticking, making this a family favourite with far less oil than frying.

BBQ Chicken Drumsticks


Temp: 190°C / 375°F – Time: 20–22 minutes
Sticky sauces are no problem here. Our silicone liners prevent sugary BBQ marinades from burning or caramelising on the basket. Baste halfway through for deeper flavour and cook until the skin is golden and the chicken reaches 75°C (167°F) internally.

Falafel with Couscous Salad


Temp: 180°C / 350°F – Time: 10–12 minutes
Air fry fresh or frozen falafel until golden, crisp and lightly textured. Our liners prevent crumbling and ensure even browning without drying out. Pair with couscous, cucumber salad, and tahini dressing for a quick vegetarian dish with plenty of fibre and flavour.
