Air fryer recipes

Air fryers are the must-have kitchen appliance that everybody’s talking about. One of the main reasons air fryers have become so popular is because of their convenience. Not only do air fryers save you time in the kitchen, but they’re incredibly versatile too. In fact, there’s almost no limit to what you can cook with an air fryer. But what’s the best way to use an air fryer? And what are the best air fryer recipes? 

Here we’ll introduce you to some of our favourite air fryer recipes that are just as delicious as they are easy to prepare. So whether you’re just starting out with your air fryer, or you’ve been the proud owner of one for a while, we’ll help you discover all kinds of different air fryer recipes to suit your tastes.

Air fryer recipes for cooking meat

If you’re a meat eater, then an air fryer is sure to be a welcome addition to your kitchen. That’s because air fryers can be used to safely and easily prepare almost all types of meat. When it comes to air fryer recipes involving meat, the possibilities are endless. As well as popular classics like spicy chicken thighs, chicken wings or nuggets, you can also enjoy meatballs, pork chops, roast joints or even steak straight from the air fryer! If you’re preparing air fryer chicken, then our Chicken Seasoning is the perfect choice to add before cooking. For red meat, you can try out our Meatball Seasoning or Meat Allrounder. Whichever meat or seasoning you decide to use for your air fryer recipe, you’ll get the best results if you marinate your meat in a spicy marinade for 1–2 hours before it goes in the air fryer. Why not try this Buttermilk Chicken Marinade or our Garlic Herb Marinade? 

Air fryer recipes for cooking fish

Fun fact: fish cooks faster in the air fryer than in the oven or pan. That’s because, on average, fish is ready in the air fryer at 180°C within just 8–10 minutes. Best of all, you can cook fresh or frozen fish in the air fryer and still get the same fantastic results. Just remember to add 5–10 minutes of cooking time when preparing frozen fish in the air fryer. If you’re cooking fish fillets in the air fryer, it’s a good idea to use aluminium foil or baking paper so that the fish doesn’t fall apart so easily. However, if you want to prepare breaded fish such as fish fingers or fried fish in the air fryer, it’s better to place the fish directly in the basket. Now that you know the basics of how to cook fish in the air fryer, you can try making delicious dishes like this Air Fryer Salmon recipe. If you want to try out cooking more air fryer fish recipes, then we recommend you use a few pinches of our Salmon Seasoning added either directly to your frozen or fresh fish or in a marinade.

Air fryer recipes for vegetarian cooking 

Air fryers are also great for vegetarians and vegans and there are plenty of delicious air fryer recipes for non-meat or non-dairy diets. After all, you can prepare potatoes, vegetables or tofu in the air fryer quickly and easily. If you fancy a tasty snack or side, why not check out these air fryer chips with guacamole or air fryer sweet potato fries? Cheeses like halloumi or baked camembert also turn out better in the air fryer than in the oven or pan too. In these cases, the air fryer is a practical solution because you don’t have to stand next to it during cooking – unlike when using a frying pan. With the time you save, you can start to wash up … or have a scroll on social media instead!  

Air fryer recipes: Should I season before or after? 

Just like when using the oven, you can season your air fryer recipes before or after cooking. That said, we generally recommend that you season dishes that go into the oven or the air fryer beforehand so that neutral foods such as potatoes, chicken or vegetables have a chance to take on the flavour of the spices. It’s also worth bearing in mind that spices can only develop their aroma when exposed to heat – which is another reason why you should start seasoning beforehand. Want a tip for your next air fryer recipe? If you’re looking to spice up your potatoes, then try our Chips Seasoning or Roast Potato Seasoning. Meanwhile, you can liven up all kinds of cuts of chicken with our Chicken Seasoning or Chicken Curry Seasoning.
