25 Delicious Air Fryer Recipes to Try Today

Sharing is caring!

The popularity of the Air Fryer has exploded over the last year. If you haven’t added one to your kitchen, I highly recommend it. The Air Fryer lets you get amazingly crispy and crunchy food using less (or almost no) oil, so it’s a much healthier alternative to standard frying. You can also cook foods in a fraction of the time so it’s no surprise it has become such a popular appliance. These 25 Air Fryer Recipes are just a sampling of all that your air fryer can do. Which one will you make first?

Don’t have an air fryer yet? I recommend the PowerXL (it’s what we have!).
