Can you put parchment paper in an air fryer?

TL;DR

Yes. Use parchment paper in an air fryer only when food holds it down.

Yes, parchment paper can be used in an air fryer, but you need to use it the right way. Loose paper can move around because of the fan.

Do not preheat the air fryer with loose parchment inside. The fan can lift it into the heating element, which can burn the paper.

Use perforated parchment made for air fryers if possible. It lets air move better and helps food cook more evenly.

Also check the temperature rating on the parchment, because not all paper is meant for very high heat.

Parchment paper can make air fryer cleanup easier, but only use it when food keeps it in place.
