The recipes below are great for those busy weeknights and feed the whole family.

If you have a new air fryer, I’ve got you covered. Air fryers are one of my favorite appliances so I have made a beginner’s guide that answers all the most common questions about air fryers.

Using an air fryer can cut down cooking time significantly. Not only that, but it cuts down on the oil used.

For best results, however, most recipes recommend a spritz of cooking spray, like olive oil, to help the food reach a nice golden brown crispy outside.
