Homemade blends beat the shaker jar
Mixing your own seasoning means fresher flavor, no anti-caking fillers, and full control over salt and heat — and it costs a fraction of pre-mixed jars. A good dry rub is what turns plain air-fried veg, wings, or fries into something you crave.
Scale any blend to a small jar or a single batch, toss with a little oil so it clings in the fast airflow, and keep the mix in a sealed container away from light. Pair it with our cooking-time calculator to nail the crisp.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How does the seasoning generator work?
Choose a flavor profile and the tool gives you a dry-rub recipe as proportions — parts of paprika, garlic powder, salt, and so on. Set a batch size in tablespoons and it scales every ingredient to that total so you can mix exactly as much as you need.
Which seasoning is best for air fryer food?
It depends on the food and your taste — Cajun and BBQ dry rub shine on wings and potatoes, lemon-pepper suits chicken and white fish, garlic-parmesan finishes fries and veg, and taco seasoning works for ground meat and cauliflower. The tool lists what each blend pairs with.
When should I add the seasoning?
Toss dry rubs on with a little oil before cooking so they stick and toast, and add delicate or cheese-based finishes like garlic-parmesan right after cooking while the food is hot. A light coat of oil helps any blend cling in the air fryer's fast airflow.
Can I adjust the salt?
Absolutely — the proportions are a starting point. Cut or leave out the salt if you're watching sodium, or bump the cayenne and pepper for more heat. Mix a small test batch, taste on a sample, and tweak before scaling up.
