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.

FAQs
Q: How do I know when my bone marrow is done cooking?
A: You’ll know it’s done when the edges turn golden brown and crispy. You can also use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F.
Q: Can I freeze leftovers?

Q: What can I do if my bone marrow isn’t cooking evenly?
A: If your bone marrow isn’t cooking evenly, you may need to shake the basket every 2 minutes during cooking. This will help ensure that all pieces are cooked through evenly. You can also reduce the temperature of your air fryer slightly and increase the cook time as needed. If nothing works, try moving some of the larger pieces around in the basket for more even cooking. Hope this helps!
