air fryer recipes

Hear me out. S’mores, but all year long. See, I know that s’mores are traditionally a Summertime thing. But why do they have to be?! Thanks to being team #airfryer, I can make s’mores from January to December. You’ve gotta see how easy this Air Fryer S’mores Recipe is!

What you’ll need

If you have ever made s’mores before (are there people who haven’t!?), you’ll know that it doesn’t take much. All you’ll need are some graham crackers, delicious chocolate, and marshmallows.

My suggestion would be the following two things. Number one: Use BIG, fluffy marshmallows. If you want to make your own homemade marshmallows, try this marshmallow recipe. Number two: Use an air fryer with a viewing window. This one is what I used. That way you can keep an eye on how dark your marshmallow gets (or doesn’t get).

I’ve been obsessed with Mexican food for as long as I can remember. TRUTHFULLY! Some of my earliest memories as a child were visiting a traditional Mexican restaurant. It was 45-minutes from where we lived. And we rarely (if ever) ate out. But this restaurant became my happy food space. And one of my favorite items were traditional empanadas (and papaya juice, but we’re not talking about that today). As much as I loved those traditional empanadas, I found them hard to duplicate at home. That is, until I made these air fryer beef empanadas.

What you’ll need

As you may know, I’m a big fan of using an air fryer. In fact, we use ours daily. If you haven’t yet purchased an air fryer, what are you waiting for?! My suggestions are this one for a big family and this one for 1-2 people.

Here’s what else you’ll need:

• 1/2 onion, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 pound of ground beef
• 1 ounce of taco seasoning
• 3 Tablespoon of beef broth
• 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts total, bring to room temperature)
• 1 egg, whisked

The ingredients are simple. And, if you’re looking for an amazing taco seasoning, I would suggest checking out Penzey’s Spices. Of all of the seasonings I’ve tried, Penzey’s are the best.

Confession: I’ve been hanging out to this recipe for far too long. We’ve been making hamburgers (and cheeseburgers) in our air fryer for over a year now. If you don’t have access to a grill (or just don’t want to fire it up), this is the absolute best alternative. Your entire family is going to love this air fryer hamburgers recipe. Promise.

What you’ll need

There aren’t many ingredients in this recipe. In fact, outside of an air fryer, you’ll just need the typical burger staples. I’ve recommended air fryers before, but this Ninja one is my go-to for burgers. It doesn’t just air fry, although the function is what we use it for the most. Two baskets make this air fryer super ideal for making two different things at once. Full disclosure — we use ours for mostly chicken nuggets and french fries, like, 90% of the time. Ha!

Here’s what else you’ll need:

• 1 pound of ground beef, 90/10 or fattier.
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 3 hamburger buns
• 3 slices of cheese, American or whatever you like
• 1 medium tomato
• 1/4 yellow or white onion, chopped
• 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce, or whatever you like
• Thousand island dressing

That’s it!

If there’s anything I love, it’s an easy recipe that the whole family will enjoy. As much as I’ve made breakfast items like pancakes, waffles, eggs, and bacon, my family just loves Air Fryer Monkey Bread Muffins. Perhaps it’s that we generally just have cereal and milk for breakfast, so monkey bread muffins seem like a mega treat! But that’s the beauty in it! They are easy, delicious, and (despite them only taking minutes to prep) everyone will think they are incredible!

What you’ll need

This recipe is super simple. In addition to your favorite air fryer, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 2 cans of buttermilk biscuits (two-7.5ounce, 10 count cans)
• 1/2 cup of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, ground
• 1 stick of butter
• 1/2 cup of brown sugar, tightly packed

That’s it! Super easy and delicious. You no longer need to wait for a special occasion to make a big monkey bread. This is the kind of thing that you can whip up in a quick minute for every weekend, if you want!

The Summer months are quickly approaching. And, as much as I’d like to think we will have more time for cooking extravagant meals, that just isn’t the case. In fact, I feel like we’re almost more busy when school is out. (Which doesn’t even feel possible, does it?!) Even with little to no time, I promise you can still make a delicious meal. This air fryer half chicken recipe is proof that a delicious meal can be made in a pinch!

What you’ll need

For this particular recipe, you’ll want to have a decent size air fryer. The air fryer that will work best is this one. As far as ingredients, there are really very few.

Here’s what you’ll need as far as ingredients:

• 3 potatoes, parboiled for faster cooking
• yellow onion
• baby carrots, parboiled for faster cooking
• 1 halved chicken (save the other half for another time!)
• olive oil
• thyme
• paprika
• garlic powder
• kosher salt
• pepper

That’s it! If you’re looking to pair it with an adult beverage, try this delicious Jalapeño Margarita recipe!

I have a confession. I make tacos. Like, a LOT. I make tacos at least once a week. While I’m team “tacos are never boring,” my husband would likely disagree. But I’m okay with switching things up a bit. And one of my favorite ways to switch up taco Tuesday is by making homemade taco bowls out of soft flour tortillas. It will seriously step up your tortilla taco bowl recipe!

What you’ll need

This is such an easy way to get crispy, delicious taco bowls. You’ll never want to buy store bought crunchy taco shells again! Hopefully by this point you have invested in an air fryer like this one. You’ll also want to get burrito-sized tortillas, not taco sized ones. That way they are big enough to form a bowl. Besides that, grab some spray (we prefer this avocado spray), and that’s it!

Once these taco bowls are cooled, fill them with your favorite taco salad ingredients and enjoy! If you’re looking for more air fryer meals, check these out.
