Air fryer recipes are great for beginner cooks because they take a lot of the guesswork out of cooking – you simply bang it in the air fryer, turn it on and voila – breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, or dessert is served.
Some of the popular things to make in the air fryer are potatoes (chips, roasted, baked), muffins, scones, and cakes. It’s also great for getting dinner on the table fast – we love to use our air fryer to make fritters, rissoles, nuggets, and pork belly (yes, you can cook raw meat in an air fryer).
In fact, we have so many air fryer recipes, you’re better off asking what can’t be cooked in an air fryer (take our word, don’t try pappadums, popcorn or grated cheese as air fryer recipes).
