Quick answer
How do you convert oven time and temperature to an air fryer?
Lower the oven temperature by 25°F (about 15°C) and cut the cooking time by roughly 20 percent. A dish that bakes 30 minutes at 400°F becomes about 24 minutes at 375°F in the air fryer — check at the 15-minute mark the first time.
