Your kitchen should have the right tools. Welcome to A Guide to Gearing Up Your Kitchen<\/a><\/em>, a series where I help you outfit the space with all the small appliances you need (and ditch the ones you don\u2019t).<\/em><\/p>\n

The air fryer has blessed us all with quick convection heating at affordable prices, and the unparalleled reheating of leftover fried food. What more could a girl ask for? Compared to a microwave or stand mixer, it\u2019s an appliance I haven\u2019t lived with for very long, but I can\u2019t imagine living without it now. Whether it\u2019s your first time using an air fryer or your 500th, you\u2019ll love these fool-proof dishes. Here are some of my favorite air fryer recipes to date.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Easy mushroom chips<\/h2>\n

Air fryers bring speed, ease, and efficiency to our kitchens and there is no recipe that honors this cooking appliance more than these mushroom chips<\/a>. It’s a two-ingredient recipe that requires hardly any preparation and you are rewarded with a savory, crunchy snack. These mushroom chips can be eaten on their own or as a crunchy topping for soups, salads, or casseroles. They’re also naturally gluten-free and vegan. <\/p>\n

Air-fried pierogies<\/h2>\n

There are few things more satisfying than a soft pasta pocket full of potatoes, meat, or vegetables. But a crispy<\/em>-shelled pasta pocket might be just the thing. These air-fried pierogies are easy, thanks to the frozen food section in the grocery store, but make sure you follow my tips here<\/a> so you end up with a light and shattering shell. <\/p>\n

Meatball shots<\/h2>\n

Prepackaged supermarket meatballs make quick and easy work of these cheese-filled meat bites. I enjoy them particularly as a Super Bowl snack, but let’s be honest: Sometimes there are no sports on but a savory craving hits nonetheless. These are the three-ingredient snack for you. Simply hollow out the center of a meatball and fill it before crisping up the edges in your air fryer. Read here<\/a> for the full recipe.<\/p>\n

Stuffed mushrooms<\/h2>\n

Stuffed mushrooms are easily in my top three favorite snacks. They’re satisfying, bursting with umami and extremely quick to make in the air fryer. My recipe<\/a> uses sausage, spices, and a bit of cream cheese to bind it all together but you can easily replace the meat with a different filling of your choice. Once they’re in the air fryer, they only take about 10 minutes to cook\u2014a fraction of the time they would take in the conventional oven.<\/p>\n

Scotch eggs<\/h2>\n

Scotch eggs are like breakfast baseballs. A hard-boiled egg is encased in a thick shell of sausage, breaded, and deep fried. This air fryer recipe<\/u><\/a> breaks with tradition, but only just. Instead of using a deep fryer to cook the protein ball, a light spritz of oil and the whipping winds of the air fryer take care of the cooking. The outside crisps up while the sausage remains juicy and the egg doesn\u2019t overcook.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Juicy air fryer steak bites<\/h2>\n

One of my favorite snacks when I\u2019m eating a high-protein diet (and when I can afford it) is a bowl of steak bites. The air fryer makes quick work of these \u201cpopcorn\u201d steak nibbles but beware, the average recipe will have you overcooking them in minutes. Follow my recipe<\/u><\/a> instead and use the freezer to keep your expensive snack juicy and flavorful.<\/p>\n
