Local Chef Shares Top Air Fryer Recipes

A local chef, with experience in kitchens around the world, says the air fryer is one of her favorite kitchen tools. She uses a small, 5-quart model for everything from breakfast to dessert.

One of her favorite air fryer dishes is a breakfast sandwich. She starts by sautéing butter, brown sugar, and onions in a ramekin in the air fryer.

A second ramekin holds an egg. Bacon cooks on a rack above, while the bun toasts alongside.

It’s a simplified version of a dish she used to make in Dublin.

Another go-to breakfast is Mexican-inspired egg bites. She uses a halved frittata recipe, cooking the mixture in silicone muffin cups in the air fryer.

For a sweet treat, she makes French toast fingers. Thick-cut bread soaked in a custard mixture cooks quickly in the air fryer. A sprinkle of powdered sugar adds a final touch.

Cheesecake is another surprisingly easy air fryer dessert. Mini cheesecakes, made with a graham cracker crust and a simple cream cheese filling, bake in minutes.

Twice-baked potatoes get a crispy skin and creamy interior in the air fryer. The chef suggests experimenting with cooking times to find what works best for your specific appliance.

Buffalo cauliflower “wings” are a quick and easy snack or side dish. Coated in a simple batter and tossed in buffalo sauce, they become crispy and flavorful in the air fryer.

Finally, caramelized bananas are a simple yet satisfying dessert. Sliced bananas, brushed with coconut oil and dusted with cinnamon and brown sugar, caramelize beautifully in the air fryer.
