air fryer recipes

I know so many friends are tired of the day in and day out of cooking meals. It’s basically been over a year since our lives all changed. We’ve all been at home with our families 24/7. And it’s been demanding to keep providing new recipes to keep my family satisfied! This ham and cheese sliders with aioli recipe is perfect for feeding the family in a hurry. And? It’s delicious!

What you’ll need for this recipe

There are only a few ingredients required. But I do use an air fryer. Why do I use an air fryer? Because it crisps up quickly and evenly. Honestly, I’ll never go back to traditional baking and frying again!

If you’re in the market for an air fryer, I highly recommend this Ninja Foodi. It has two baskets so you can cook multiple items simultaneously, at different temperatures!

For this particular recipe only requires the following items:

• 8 Hawaiian rolls
• 16 slices of deli ham
• 8 oz of Swiss cheese, sliced
• 1/4 cup of mayonnaise 
• 1/2 teaspoon of paprika 
• 1 teaspoon of dill
• 1 teaspoon of onion powder

That’s it! The prep time is honestly miniscule. The aioli takes the longest, with that being only a minute or two. Otherwise it’s cut, prep, air fry, and serve! Easy peasy!

If your kids are anything like mine, they live off of snacks. In fact, I’m so grateful that we have stores that offer drive-up services, because I swear I’m making at least a twice-weekly trip for more snacks. Where do they even put all of this food?! I decided to try making Cheez-its (a staple in our house) on my own. This way we’re saving money; but I also know exactly what’s in their food. And this Air Fryer Cheez-Its recipe is a spot-on copycat.

What you’ll need

The ingredients are super simple. In fact, much more simple than you would find on the nutritional label of the box. Yes, you’ll need an air fryer. You can bake them; but, truthfully, they puff up much better in an air fryer. If you haven’t purchased one yet, I highly recommend this one.

Here’s exactly what you’ll need for this copycat recipe:

• 8 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese 
• 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder 
• 2 cups of flour
• 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder 
• 5 tablespoons of butter
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 2-3 tablespoons of water

Ingredients

• 2-3 tablespoons of water

Air Fry on 370 for 6 minutes. Remove and let cool and dry.

STEP 6 -

ENJOY!

Confession: I never really had fast food growing up. And, because of that, it took me a while (read: 30 + years) to figure out what I liked and what I didn’t like. I was not the typical “Taco Bell at college” type of girl. But the truth is, I’ve developed quite a taste for a few Taco Bell items (like the bean burrito, sans onions). But I also love the crunchwrap. So I decided to perfect a Copycat Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme recipe.

What you’ll need

I highly recommend using an air fryer for this recipe. Sure, you can grill and press this, but it is far more delicious in an air fryer. As far as ingredients, you should have most on hand.

• 1/2 pound of taco meat
• 1/2 cup of nacho sauce
• 1/4 cup of diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup of sour cream
• 1 cup of shredded lettuce
• 3 burrito size tortillas
• 3 tostada shells
