Cured egg yolks that are dehydrated can be grated or chopped up and used as a garnish. To make them in your air fryer, set the device to 150 degrees F or lower.
To start, make cured yolks by covering raw yolks in salt and sugar and refrigerating them for three to seven days. Then, gently rinse any excess salt or sugar away with some water.
To dehydrate the cured yolks into a savory garnish, use your air fryer’s dehydrate setting or set the appliance to 150 degrees F for two hours or until the yolks are firm and dry.
This low and slow cooking process removes the yolk's moisture, intensifying their flavor. They're delicious grated and sprinkled over everything from popcorn to pizza.
