Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Green Bean Fries

August 28, 2021 by Rachel 5 Comments

I am always looking for creative ways to get my kids to eat their vegetables. Honestly, Ari will eat anything we put in front of him. But the girls are a different story. While Remy will eat plain old brocoli (which is weird, right?), she won’t touch other vegetables. Like, at all. My air fryer helps me pull out all the stunts (and get the kids to eat!) with this garlic parmesan green bean fries recipe.

What you’ll need to make Garlic Parmesan Green Bean Fries

As mentioned before, this recipe is super simple. But the one item you’ll want to be sure you have for this is an air fryer. My favorite can be found here. I truly don’t recommend baking these instead of air frying. They just won’t be as crisp as they should be.

The other ingredients you’ll need are the following:

a pound of fresh green beans
flour
shredded parmesan
minced garlic
pepper
salt
and eggs

That’s it! The dredging and coating are really straight forward. Just be sure you grease the air fryer basket with your favorite cooking spray before placing the green beans in.

Additionally, be sure to serve it with your favorite dipping sauce. I really like a spicy aioli, but my kids prefer ketchup (because, of course).

August 15, 2021 by Rachel 5 Comments

We are t-minus one week from the start of another school year. It’s honestly hard to believe. And, with the new school year in sight, I’m trying my best to come up with new, quick and easy recipes for busy weeknights. One of our favorite new recipes in our dinner rotation is this weeknight air fryer foil pack Italian chicken recipe!

What you’ll need for this recipe

Because this is a weeknight recipe, it’s short on two things: ingredients and time!

Chicken Breasts (one pound, cubed)
Italian Seasoning
Your choice of frozen vegetables
Cooking Spray
Foil
a few pinches of salt
and your air fryer! (PS. If you don’t have one, this is the one I use!)

That’s all! If you’re looking for other quick recipes, check this out here!

Why cooking on a weeknight is important

The one constant in my life growing up was dinnertime. For four out of 5 weeknights, my mom made a home cooked meal. Every night, when we would sit down for dinner, we would connect, chat, and enjoy our food. I’d like to think that I am striving to do the same; but, in reality, I’m struggling.

That connection over mealtime is so important for every family. So what makes it easier? Easy weeknight meals. Take the guesswork out of dinner and spend time where it really matters — connecting with your family!

Two years ago we started our first ever backyard garden. Last year, due to the circumstances of ‘staying home,’ I decided to go all in with my garden. Well, I planted a little bit of everything.

Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Fries Recipe

June 8, 2021 by Rachel 11 Comments

Back in the day, we used an oil deep fryer. Despite loving it, we rarely used it because it was a pain. The oil was messy and difficult to dispose of. So when air fryers became the popular new kitchen appliance, we quickly jumped on board. And we have been perfecting air fryer recipes ever since! These air fryer garlic parmesan fries taste like they are too good to be true! But I promise they are the real deal!

Why you need an air fryer

If you’ve been around here for a while, you’ll know that I’m obsessed with two kitchen gadgets: the Instant Pot and my air fryer. In my opinion, everyone needs an air fryer. You can get a standalone air fryer like this one, or (if you’re going to be recreating a lot of the recipes on my site) the pressure cooker/air fryer combo like this one!

In an air fryer you can make everything from marinated chicken breast to mozzarella sticks. Homemade meals and easy frozen entrees are a breeze. And they are ready to eat in just minutes — cooked to perfection every time!

What you’ll need to make air fryer garlic parmesan fries

Besides the aforementioned air fryer, you’ll need the following ingredients:

1 large potato
1/2 tablespoon of salt
1/2 tablespoon of pepper
1 tablespoon of oil
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon of parsley
1 cup of shredded parmesan cheese

Ham and Cheese Sliders with Aioli Recipe

April 12, 2021 by Rachel 15 Comments

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!
