5 Tasty Air Fryer Recipes to Try

Ashley Horst

Air frying is catching on and it’s not really a surprise. Air fryers allow you to cook fried foods with less cleanup, less calories and a quick speed. All around it seems like a win-win. However, keep in mind, while air fryers are a healthier option compared to deep fryers, they aren’t necessarily “healthy.” They reduce the “calorie intake by 70 to 80 percent,” unfortunately that doesn’t necessarily mean you can dine on fried foods for every meal. The good news is, when you do enjoy fried foods, it’s with a lot less calories and a lot less mess! If you’re ready to get cooking, we’ve rounded up a few tasty recipes you can cook in your air fryer.
