To replicate quick recipes in your kitchen, you must also own a modern kitchen appliance like Usha’s OTG. It reduces cooking time and makes working in the space hassle and care-free. You can use it for grilling, baking, toasting, and a few other tasks as well. Take a look at snacks you can make in under 10 minutes.
Loaded Nachos
One of the easiest, healthiest, and most fulfilling snacks you can make at home is loaded nachos. Layer a few crispy chips with jalapenos, boiled corn, cheese, and olives on a baking tray. Bake the ingredients for 3-5 minutes at 200°C and serve with salsa and guacamole on the side. You can enjoy refreshing mocktails on the side.
Crispy Potato Wedges
Another side dish or snack you can make with the least amount of effort is crispy potato wedges. Wash and peel the skins of potatoes. Cut them in the shape of wedges and toss them on a baking tray. Drizzle olive oil, paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (optional). Cook potatoes at 200°C for 8-10 minutes or until they are crispy.
Mini Pizza Bites
Do you need a recipe for instant pizza? Slice the crust of bread and cut it into various shapes. Spread sauce, sprinkle mozzarella cheese and add some toppings before sliding pizzas inside Usha’s OTG. Bake these bites at 200°C for 3-5 minutes, and you will witness how easy it is to make this Italian delight at home. You can also serve it as a starter at a children’s party.
Garlic Bread Toast
One of the best dishes you can cook for yourself when hungry is garlic bread toast. Add minced garlic, salt, and chopped coriander leaves to soft butter. Combine the ingredients and spread the paste on bread slices. Bake these slices at 200°C for 5 minutes and serve after sprinkling chilli flakes on the top.
Paneer Tikka
One of the tricks for cooking paneer tikka is to prevent the cottage cheese from sticking to the surface and burning. Usha's OTG resolves both of these issues. After marinating paneer, onion, and capsicum pieces in an aromatic and spiced mixture, bake them in the appliance at 200°C for 8-10 minutes. It is a perfect snack to serve at a gathering.
Masala Corn Toast
Similar to garlic cheese toast, you can masala corn toast. Prepare a tangy and spicy mixture of boiled corn. Slightly mash kernels and blend them with butter, chilli flakes, and fresh herbs. Spread this mixture on bread slices and add grated cheese on top. Bake the slices at 200°C for 3-5 minutes and enjoy with ketchup on the side.
Chocolate Mug Cake
You will not believe it, but baking chocolate mug cake in Usha’s OTG will only take a minute. Prepare a perfectly balanced mixture of baking soda, maida, cocoa powder, sugar, butter, a pinch of salt, and baking powder. Add a chocolate cube in the middle and bake for a minute. You will have a lip-smacking cake ready in no time.
