Why Macadamia Oil Deserves a Spot in Your Air Fryer Routine (Especially If You’re Reheating Leftovers)

Air fryer owners know the drill — it's not just about crispy chips anymore. From roast veggies to salmon bites, cheesy toasties to banana fritters, the air fryer has become the modern-day workhorse of Aussie kitchens. But here's the kicker: the oil you use makes a big difference.

Most of us default to olive oil, canola, or even nothing at all. But if you're not using macadamia oil, you're probably missing out on flavour, texture, and health benefits. And yes — even when you're just reheating last night's leftovers.

Macadamia Oil: The Unsung Hero for Air Frying

Here’s why Fancy Farmer Macadamia Oil is built for the air fryer life:

  • Unrefined = Real Flavour
    No bland, flat taste here. Macadamia oil adds a buttery, nutty richness that makes roast potatoes taste better, sweet potato chips caramelise deeper, and frozen spring rolls crispier — without soaking up grease.

  • Perfect for Reheating
    Reheating that slice of lasagna, roasted pumpkin, or leftover chicken schnitty? A light brush of macadamia oil before reheating helps revive texture and moisture — instead of leaving it rubbery and dry.

  • Versatility in Every Style
    Whether it’s a viral recipe like "feta-stuffed mushrooms", "crunchy rice paper bacon", or a homemade cauliflower nugget — macadamia oil delivers consistent results. And no, it won’t overpower your herbs or seasoning.

  • Minimal Foaming, Maximum Crunch
    Being unrefined, it may bubble a little when cooking — but that’s the good stuff at work. It’s a natural reaction, not a flaw. It means no anti-foaming agents, no artificial stabilisers, and no nasty surprises.

  • Better Fats, Better Living
    Loaded with omega-9 and omega-7 fats (rare in most oils), macadamia oil supports overall wellness while giving you crunch without compromise. Why settle for less?

What You’re Probably Air Frying Already (And Why This Oil Levels It Up):

  • Frozen fries or hash browns → Add a drizzle of macadamia oil to get a golden, restaurant-style finish

  • Air-fried salmon → Brings out that delicate flavour without clashing with lemon or dill

  • Stuffed capsicums or mushrooms → A bit of macadamia oil helps the cheese melt evenly and the veg crisp just right

  • Banana fritters or zucchini chips → You want browning, not burning — this oil hits the sweet spot

Don’t Just Cook. Cook Better.

Air fryers were made for convenience. But if you’re still using the cheapest oil you can find from the supermarket shelf — you’re cutting corners that matter.

Fancy Farmer Macadamia Oil is made to upgrade everyday meals with zero effort. Whether you’re whipping up crispy chicken thighs, reheating leftover roast veg, or testing that TikTok feta pasta recipe — this oil makes every bite count.
