Things to make in an air fryer
Best Air Fryer Recipes - What To Cook In An Air Fryer
PHOTO: JOEL GOLDBERG; FOOD STYLING: HADLEY SUI
Years ago (before our first air fryer cookbook was even a twinkle in our eye), we were definitely wary of another kitchen gadget. Our kitchens are full enough as it is (with slow cookers, waffle irons, stand mixers…), so anything new has to be great. Turns out, the air fryer is TOTALLY worth it. Our top reasons why: We love deep-fried foods (who doesn’t?!), but we are not about all the oil, mess, and cleanup involved. The air fryer solves all of that, in less than half the time. It turns out the crispiest, crunchiest foods with juiciness still locked in, thanks to hot air convection cooking. Check out this complete list of all our favorite air fryer recipes to see how versatile it truly can be—and if you don't have one yet, consider this your sign to take the plunge!
What’s really wild is how often we use ours. It’s become our go-to for everything from breakfast to dessert, and has even edged out our toaster as our on-counter appliance of choice. Speaking of toast, you can make almost every one of your regular breakfasts in your air fryer. We’re talking omelets, muffins, avocado toast, sausage, bacon, pancakes… We know, INSANE, right?
It’s just as good at helping you make delicious lunches and dinners too. If you’ve got a main dish you want to spend more hands-on time with, pop your sides in the air fryer and let it do all the work. Veggies like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, potatoes, zucchini, mushrooms & onions, and cauliflower all turn out incredible in the air fryer. You can also make your main dish IN the air fryer. It works magic with proteins like tofu, chicken drumsticks, meatballs, pork chops, fried chicken… even steak.
Need a last-minute appetizer? Stick with your favorites, but make them in your air fryer. Check out our crab artichoke stuffed mushrooms, our loaded zucchini skins, our spinach artichoke zucchini bites, or our bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers for ideas—your air fryer can make them in half their usual time.
And we can’t forget dessert. The air fryer can turn out some really killer options, like a berry crisp, vegan zucchini chocolate cake (so moist!), apple pie “baked” apples, or GF peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. Also should be noted, the air fryer is great for reheating things, especially desserts. Have some leftover pie, and don’t want to turn on your oven to warm it up? Want to serve a warm brownie with your ice cream? Have a baked good that needs livening up? Pop them in your air fryer briefly and you’ll never guess they’re not fresh out of the oven.

Air Fryer Spinach, Roasted Red Pepper, and Goat Cheese Omelet
This veggie-packed omelet really highlights what an air fryer can do. Customize the fillings just like your very own at-home omelet bar. Hot tip: This omelet will look set on top before it’s fully cooked. If you take it out to fold it and there’s still some runny egg on the bottom, just pop it back in the air fryer for another minute.

Air Fryer Tandoori Turkey Breast
Keeping the bone in and skin on the turkey breast helps to seal in moisture so the outside doesn’t dry out from the intense air fryer heat. Instead you get crispy skin and a super moist, tandoori-spiced turkey breast. 😍

Air Fryer Pork Chops
Most of the time, we don't get very excited over pork chops. Often overdone, they come out dry, sad, and flavorless. Cooking them in an air fryer changes all that. Due to the intense heat circulation that happens, the outside crisps slightly while the inside stays nice and juicy.

Air Fryer Orange Chicken
Typically deep- or pan-fried in oil, the option to air fry orange chicken instead saves a ton of calories and fat.
Of course, this dish is perfect over rice or whole grains, but if you are looking for a low-carb side, serve this over simple air fried vegetables, letting them soak up the extra sauce in place of grains.

Air Fryer Tahini Black Bean Fritters
Best Air Fryer Granola Recipe
What can't the air fryer do? For starters, it can turn out fluffy oat pancakes and make a crispy chicken sandwich with a fraction of the oil you'd normally use. It can bake up perfect peanut butter-and-chocolate cookies and perhaps best of all, it makes crunchiest of crunchy granola. That's because an air fryer works by circulating extra high-powered hot air around whatever it cooks, which is exactly what's required to create granola with a crispy, not soggy, texture. That's the case in this batch of Cinnamon Crunch Granola, which is chock-full of pecans, pumpkin seeds, and coconut. Of course, if you'd rather other mix-ins, you can play around with whatever nuts and seeds you have on hand as long as the dry ingredients add up to 3 1/4 cups total.
P.S. If you're feeling truly inspired, why not fire up your instant pot for a batch of homemade yogurt, too?

What can be cooked in an air grill, simple recipes for dishes
Once you try to cook on an air grill, you will not be able to refuse it. It is so convenient, versatile and practical that it can be compared to a compact size convection oven. In an air grill, you can smoke, and cook pastries, and stew, and cook. And all this without the addition of fat and oil.
How to cook with an Airfryer?
Thousands of dishes are prepared on the airfryer at home. Just before starting cooking, you should study its main capabilities and features. The most important thing in it is the cover, in which the heating system, control panel and fan are built. A glass flask plays the role of an oven or chamber. In this flask, the process of cooking takes place. When the device is in operation, a halogen lamp or heating element heats the air inside the flask to the set temperature, and the fan circulates.
Modern aerogrills can not only bake meat, cook cereals and soups, but also dry fruits and berries, smoke foods or preserve them.
There are several modes for preparing different types of food. Modern air grills can not only bake meat, cook cereals and soups, but also dry fruits and berries, smoke food or preserve them.
An interesting feature of cooking is that fat is rendered from meat and poultry and possible additives that some manufacturers may use. All the liquid drains neatly into a separate bowl (if you cook food on a wire rack).
Benefits of the appliance that make food tastier and cooking more enjoyable:
- multifunctionality;
- can be cooked in any dish, except for plastic and wooden ones;
- no need to add oil or fat;
- simplicity and speed of preparation.
Airfryer is used instead of an oven, toaster, grill, frying pan, roaster, double boiler and other kitchen appliances. It can defrost and reheat food. Thanks to its compactness, it saves kitchen space, and you can also take it with you on the road.
Food in clay pots is especially delicious - cereals, sour cream, milk, soups, potatoes and mushrooms taste like they are cooked in a real Russian oven. Meat, fish and poultry can be baked on skewers or on a grill.
It is important for every housewife that food does not burn in the air grill at the right temperature. You can set the operating mode and go about your business. Due to the fan, each ingredient will be cooked evenly. This is especially convenient when cooking in breadcrumbs, as they usually burn on the pan.
The secret of making breaded cutlets is as follows: prepared semi-finished products or homemade cutlets are smeared with a little oil and baked on a wire rack for 10 minutes on each side. Wings or kebabs are prepared in the same way.
How to use the Airfryer?
All flask accessories included. Before cooking, you need to place in it (depending on the recipe) either a baking sheet, or a wire rack, or a heat-resistant pan. If space allows, you can place several dishes at once.
It is better to cook a whole bird, large pieces of meat or fish on the lower grate.
Before the start of the working process, the temperature mode, cooking time and air circulation intensity are set. A bonus for the cook is the opportunity to observe the whole process through a transparent flask. After cooking is complete, be sure to wash the appliance.
What to cook?
It will take a very long time to list what you can cook in an air grill at home. The main types of culinary goodies include cooking recipes:
- smoked;
- grill;
- pizzas;
- casseroles;
- champignons;
- vegetables;
- baked vegetables and meats;
- soups and cereals.
Cured meats are interesting and tasty. At home, with the help of an air grill, you can get a rich and special aroma of smoked meats. Experienced chefs advise using alder shavings or "liquid smoke" for the best effect.
To cook smoked fish, cook it as usual: wash it, rub it with salt, brush it with "liquid smoke" and leave it to soak for an hour.
After that, we tie it with a rope and lower it into the flask on the grate. The baking temperature for mackerel is set at 180 o C, for carp and other fish about 150 o C. Cooking time is 30 minutes.
For the preparation of smoked meat, the same technology is used as for fish: we wash the meat, rub it with salt, process it with “liquid smoke” and leave it to marinate for an hour. Put the alder shavings into the heated grill and put the meat with the addition of a small amount of water. The dish is cooked for 30 minutes at a temperature of 240 o C with medium fan speed.
Homemade sprats will be the most unusual dish cooked in an air grill. To do this, you need: 500 g of sprat sprat, vegetable oil, bay leaf, pepper, salt and alder sawdust. The cooking technology is simple: the processed sprat without entrails and head is salted and poured with oil. The fish is laid out in a bowl in layers and placed on the lower grate. Alder shavings are poured under it.
