Roast

What are the fundamentals of roasting?

Roasting is the act of using hot air to cook an ingredient through, usually with an oven. To achieve browning, roasting usually occurs at higher temperatures.

• Note: the term roasting can be used interchangeably with baking, although it usually refers to savory or higher heat applications.

Air frying is just roasting with a powerful convection fan which circulates air for more effective dehydration and temperature distribution. If your oven has a convection fan setting, you are replicating how an air fryer works.
