Air Fryer Recipes

Almost anything you'd roast, bake, or deep-fry: chicken (wings, breasts, or whole), salmon and white fish, french fries and frozen foods, tofu, vegetables like cauliflower, eggs and omelettes, and even cakes. Air fryers excel at anything you want crispy outside and tender inside.

Start with frozen french fries (400°F/200°C for 15–18 minutes), chicken breast (375°F/190°C for 18–22 minutes to 165°F/74°C), or a simple omelette (350°F/175°C for 8–10 minutes). They are forgiving and need almost no prep.

Cook chicken wings at 400°F (200°C) for about 24 minutes, flipping halfway, until the skin is crisp and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

All chicken is safe to eat at an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Use an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part — color is not a reliable guide.

Usually just a light spray or about 1 teaspoon. Naturally fatty foods like wings and salmon need none; lean or breaded foods crisp up best with a light mist of oil.

Overcrowding is the most common cause — food needs space for hot air to circulate. Cook in a single layer, shake or flip halfway through, and add a light spray of oil to lean foods.
