33 Best Air Fryer Recipes: A Guide to Healthier Cooking

Air fryers are an innovative kitchen tool that allow you to prepare your favorite foods with significantly less oil, making them a healthier alternative to traditional deep frying. If you’re new to using an air fryer, you’re in the right place. Below are some easy, healthy, and delicious recipes to get you started.

How to Convert Oven Recipes for Your Air Fryer

To convert traditional oven recipes for your air fryer, start by reducing the oven temperature by 25°F and cutting the baking time nearly in half. To ensure your food reaches your desired doneness, periodically check on it by opening the air fryer basket and flipping the food halfway through the cooking process.
