10 Air Fryer Recipes That Will Make You Use It Every Day

If your air fryer is collecting dust on the counter, these recipes will change that. From crispy snacks to full dinners, the air fryer delivers incredible texture with less oil and less time than your oven. Here are 10 recipes worth trying this week.

1. Air Fryer Chicken Wings

Toss wings in baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Air fry at 400 degrees for 25 minutes, flipping halfway. The skin gets impossibly crispy without deep frying. Toss in buffalo sauce or honey garlic when done.

2. Crispy Air Fryer Fries

Cut russet potatoes into thin sticks, soak in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry thoroughly. Toss with a little olive oil and salt. Air fry at 380 degrees for 20 minutes, shaking the basket every five minutes for even browning.

3. Air Fryer Salmon

Season salmon fillets with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Air fry at 390 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes depending on thickness. The outside gets a light crust while the inside stays moist and flaky. Faster than preheating your oven.

4. Air Fryer Mozzarella Sticks

Coat string cheese pieces in flour, egg, and seasoned breadcrumbs. Freeze for at least 30 minutes so they hold together. Air fry at 390 degrees for 6 minutes until golden and bubbly. Serve with warm marinara sauce.

5. Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts

Halve Brussels sprouts, toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Air fry at 375 degrees for 15 minutes, shaking halfway. The outer leaves get perfectly charred and crispy while the centers stay tender. A drizzle of balsamic glaze finishes them off.

6. Air Fryer Pork Chops

Season bone-in pork chops with a simple rub of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Air fry at 400 degrees for 12 minutes, flipping once. Let rest five minutes before serving. Juicy inside with a beautiful seared crust.

7. Air Fryer Egg Rolls

Fill egg roll wrappers with a mixture of ground pork, shredded cabbage, carrots, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce. Roll tightly, brush with oil, and air fry at 370 degrees for 10 minutes. Crispy, golden, and so much lighter than deep fried versions.

8. Air Fryer Stuffed Peppers

Halve bell peppers and fill with a mixture of cooked ground beef, rice, black beans, corn, and shredded cheese. Air fry at 370 degrees for 12 minutes until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly on top.

9. Air Fryer Coconut Shrimp

Dip shrimp in flour, then egg, then a mix of shredded coconut and panko breadcrumbs. Arrange in a single layer and air fry at 400 degrees for 8 minutes, flipping once. Serve with sweet chili sauce for an appetizer everyone will love.

10. Air Fryer Apple Chips

Slice apples paper-thin using a mandoline, sprinkle with cinnamon and a tiny bit of sugar. Arrange in a single layer and air fry at 300 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes until crispy. A healthy snack that tastes like a treat.
