Let’s set the scene: you’ve taken the plunge and purchased your new air fryer, but you have no idea what to make.

Don’t worry, because we've got you covered with a list of tasty and healthy foods you can cook in your new toy!

Healthy Chicken Nuggets

Get all the nuggety goodness of your favourite bit-sized chicken treat without the all the fat from its deep-fried cousin. This recipe from our own team is perfect for the air fryer. Check it out, here!

Cauliflower Hot Wings

Low in both carbs and fat, this recipe of ours is just perfect for an air fryer. These 'wings' require a little preparation before being chucked in the air fryer, but trust us, they’re worth it. A perfect snack for when your mates come around for the footy.

Sweet Potato Fries

Do you still get chippy cravings now and then? Don’t worry, you’re hardly alone there. One option is to whip up some healthier sweet potato fries in the air fryer. Because they’re technically baked rather than fried, these sweet potato fries will be a bit better for you than the standard deep-fried chips from your local takeaway joint.

Carrott

Who says veggies can’t be tasty?! Slice your carrots and toss them into the air fryer to get a compact and crispy version of those roast carrots your mum used to make on a Sunday arvo.

Broccoli

Another veggie whose taste factor is super charged by the air fryer. We recommend drizzling a little bit of olive oil over the florets, adding a pinch of salt and pepper, and some chili flakes before chucking them in. You’ll thank us later.

Mushrooms

Another great side for your main meal. Cooking mushrooms in the air fryer makes them crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Definitely something to pair with the next suggested food...

Steak

According to many, an air fryer is a great way to cook a cow. All you need to do is heat the device for a couple of minutes, throw your steak in the basket and cook it for six minutes before turning. The length of time you leave it cooking after the first turn ultimately depends on how you like your steak cooked.
