Air fryer recipes including chicken, french fries, pork chops, potatoes and desserts.

Have you purchased an air fryer yet? I am so in love with this small appliance that it has a permanent place on my countertop. The air fryer is simply amazing! There are literally thousands of air fryer recipes you can make. We use it at least once a week, my kids especially love air fried chicken tenders and of course, who can resist french fries.

You really could go without any other small cooking appliance as the air fryer can be used for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can even make desserts in an air fryer. Crazy, right? It seems all the craze right now is healthier, less greasy foods. The air fryer is perfect for this as it uses hot circulated air to cook the food which means you get that great crispy texture without the fat. In fact, most air fryer recipes use 70-80% less oil than you would use if you deep fried instead.

To make things easy for you I have gathered up 30 of my favorite air fryer recipes for you to start with. You can cook almost anything in the air fryer from french fries, to chicken wings, to lava cake.

30 Amazing Air Fryer Recipes

  • Air Fryer Parmesan Shrimp
  • Air Fryer Sriracha Honey Chicken Wings
  • Air Fryer Baked Potatoes
  • Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Tater Tots
  • Air Fryer Hot Dogs
  • Air Fryer Ranch Chicken Tenders
  • Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets
  • Air Fryer French Fries
  • Air Fryer Fried Green Tomatoes

Is Air Fried food healthy?

Air fried food is definitely healthier than its deep fried counterpart. However, many air fried foods still contain high calorie ingredients like cheese and butter, so you should evaluate each air fryer recipe on a case by case basis to see if it is indeed healthy.

  • Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers
  • Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings
  • Air Fryer Pork Chops
  • Air Fryer Beef Empanadas
  • Air Fryer Sweet Potato Tots
  • Air Fryer Thai Peanut Egg Rolls
  • Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes
  • Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries
  • Air Fryer Cauliflower Rice Balls
  • Air Fryer Baked Sweet Potatoes

What are the benefits of using an air fryer?

The biggest benefit to the air fryer is getting that deep fried crispy texture without using cups and cups of oil. The air fryer also offers easy clean up, and because the hot air circulates, it makes the food crispy all over instead of just on top like a traditional oven.

  • Air Fryer Cauliflower Chickpea Tacos
  • Air Fryer Molten Lava Cake
  • Air Fryer Roast Chicken
  • Air Fried Asparagus
  • Air Fryer Spicy Cauliflower Stir Fry
  • Air Fryer Steak
  • Air Fryer Coconut Shrimp
  • Air Fried Sticky Mushroom Rice
  • Air Fryer Hash Browns
  • Air Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp

    We used our oven as air frier and had the same result for the potato chips, since buying a new appliance is not cost effective for us. The chips turned out crispy and having the right texture we imagined.

    Out of all the up and coming new kitchen gadgets, I can see myself using an air fryer over an instant pot any day of the week. These all sound so delectable!

    I have never tried anything from an air fryer. I’ve always been worried about stuff with high fat when it comes to frying, but it sounds like it is unwarranted with this air fryer. I am excited to try it!

    I did purchase an Instant Pot that sits on my counter and hasn’t been used and I keep seeing Air Fryers and have been thinking of getting on of them as I think it would take the place of our Deep Fryer and be healthier.
