    Roast vegetables. Reverse searing sous vide meat that is irregularly shaped so hard to reverse sear in a pan such as rack of lamb or lamb shanks. Frozen french fries, grilled corn on the cob. I make fake KFC using the Chicago Tribune recipe for the 11 herbs and spices. Chicken wings and duck breasts.

    Same as above. Chicken breast and asparagus, frozen turkey burgers have been the most common for me. I recently made the family pork tenderloin, baked potatoes, the kids will make regular frozen things like fries and pizza rolls sometimes.

    Potatoes, green beans, winter squash (made acorn squash tonight, it was great!), zucchini, and chicken breasts.

    Hard cooked eggs, chicken thighs, home fries, whole chicken, bacon, roasted veggies (cauliflower, broccoli, peppers, butternut squash, zucchini etc). Great for re-heating quickly as well. Best gadget appliance I own.

    I haven't used it for big recipes-- mainly just reheating frozen meals. Tyson grilled chicken and sweet potato fries are my biggest two. Eating those keeps me from going to the drive through.

    I have also used it for bacon and broccoli.

    My favorites are chicken wings that I spray with olive oil and sprinkle with seasonings, and boneless chicken thighs coated with Shake and Bake or Panko Bread crumbs. I also make pork chops, hamburgers, French Fries, and roasted veggies. I use my air fryer almost every day. I have a basket-type, but am wanted an over style so I can cook more than one thing at a time.

    Just discovered from a girlfriend you can make dutch ollie bollen (dutch doughnuts traditionally served on NYE and translated directly as oil balls) in the air fryer. Make the yeast doughnut batter as normal, brush silicon muffin forms with vegetable oil, fill, spray oil on the tops and bake at 200C until brown.

    These salads at the end of the article with grains toasted in the air fryer are very good.

    I bought the slotted flat pan attachment for my air fryer for delicate items like fish fillets that are difficult to remove from the basket without breaking them. This lasagne feeds 3 or 4 and was made in the air fryer in a small casserole dish that fits on top of the pan attachment.

    Frozen Brussel sprouts, toss them in (season them if you wish) and roast them at the French fry setting. You could spray them with a bit of oil if they aren’t getting crispy but I don’t usually need to. Almost any type of frozen veggie works this way but you need to watch the cook time depending on size.

    Raw potatoes diced larger or wedged for fries. Can use an Apple wedger to make this really easy, then slice the center core into discs.

    I use perforated parchment paper (buy on Amazon sized for your airfryer) for salmon filets and other things that might be hard to remove or clean up.

    Every time I see you post your food looks great. MFP picnic anyone? :tongue:

    The price of the air fryer is worth it just for making hard boiled eggs, to be honest. No dishes!

    We don't cook anything really special in ours, but it is by far the most used appliance in our house. I'm looking for a bigger, nicer one for Christmas. We bought a cheap one a little over a year ago and it's time to upgrade. Fries, chicken tenders, bone-in pork chops. Really anything.
