Air Fryer Bone Marrow

This is gold mine of flavor and nutrition! Bone marrow is a nutrient-rich tissue found in the hollow center of bones.

It’s packed with fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins that support good health. In addition, bone marrow has an amazingly rich, buttery taste that makes it a delicious ingredient in many dishes.

Roasted bone marrow is a classic dish that has been enjoyed for centuries. With the help of an air fryer, you can now make bone marrow in a fraction of the time and with much less mess.

What bones shall I use?

The best bones to use are those that have a large, hollow center such as beef or veal shank or thigh. Chicken bones can also be used but they will cook much faster.
