Air Fryer Recipes

An air fryer blows very hot air all around the food. You get a crisp, golden outside with a light spray of oil, not a pot of it. It heats up fast, so small batches cook quickly. Each of these 81 recipes works in one.

All Air Fryer Recipes

Each recipe page gives the oven or stove method. To use an air fryer, preheat it, cook in one layer, and don't crowd the basket. Cook in batches if you need to, and check meat with a thermometer. Some recipes need a small change; you'll see a note under the card.
