There was a time not so long ago when air fryers weren’t a common appliance in everyone’s kitchen. And somehow everyone managed—I did. But once I got my hands on this powerful kitchen tool that quickly crisps up foods without deep frying them, I was hooked.
When you’ve used your air fryer to cook these 20 recipes, you’ll think twice about cooking them the traditional way again. These recipes are quick, easy, flavorful, and many of them will save you money. For starters, have you seen the price of crispy chickpeas in the snack aisle of the grocery store? Making them in the air fryer costs a fraction of the store-bought ones.
