Westinghouse AirFry and Steam Oven Recipes For Healthy Midweek Dinners

The best thing about these effortless, healthy cooking ideas is they use the AirFry and Easy Bake +Steam features in some of Westinghouse’s best ovens to lock in flavour and nutrients and add the perfect crunch. Here’s how… 

What’s the difference between the AirFry and EasyBake +Steam functions on a Westinghouse oven?

 “While both the air-frying and steam features are designed to effortlessly elevate your cooking, the difference comes down to crunch versus moisture,” says Tania Grillinzoni, The Good Guys Buyer – Cooking.

How the AirFry function works

This setting on select Westinghouse ovens uses intense, rapidly circulating dry heat to deliver a deep-fried-style crunch with a fraction of the oil required for regular frying. 

How the Easy Bake +Steam function works

By introducing moisture into your Westinghouse oven cavity, the steam setting prevents food from drying out. It’s your secret weapon for locking juices into a weeknight roast, getting a bakery-style rise and glossy crust on your bread, or reviving sad-looking leftovers.

Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts

Halve the sprouts and toss with balsamic glaze and cracked black pepper. Arrange on the tray and air-fry at 190°C for 15 minutes – shaking halfway through – for a charred, caramelised finish.

Air Fryer Asparagus

Snap off the woody ends, coat lightly in olive oil and dust with sea salt and parmesan. Air-fry at 200°C for just 8 minutes to get perfectly tender, blistered greens.

Air Fryer Tofu

Cube firm, pressed tofu and toss in soy sauce, sesame oil and cornstarch. Spread in a single layer and crisp at 200°C for 15 minutes for an intensely crunchy exterior and pillowy centre.

Westinghouse Steam Oven recipes

Nourish your loved ones without sacrificing flavour by using the moisture-locking magic of your Westinghouse Steam Oven. 

Garlic Herb Steamed Salmon

Place seasoned salmon fillets and asparagus on a perforated pan. Mince 2-3 cloves of garlic and finely chop a tablespoon of your favourite fresh herbs, then gently press the mixture onto the top of the salmon fillets. Use Easy Bake +Steam at 180°C for 8-10 minutes, until the fish easily flakes with a fork. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of fresh dill for a vibrant, low-effort meal.

Mediterranean Tray Bake

Roughly chop and toss your favourite vegetables onto a tray in a single layer – think capsicum, zucchini, eggplant, red onion and cherry tomatoes. Use Easy Bake +Steam at 200°C for 25 minutes or until the veggies are tender. Remove from the oven and add a squeeze of lemon juice. 

TIP: Use the AirFry function for the last 5 minutes of the bake to add crispy edges!
