FRIED APPLE RINGS

Fried Apple Rings or Apple Fritters were one of my favorite treats growing up in Washington. The only problem was getting them. They are a specialty treat even in the state of apples.

Ingredients for Fried Apples in the Air Fryer

• Flour: Acts as the base for the simple batter.
• Sugar: Adds sweetness and texture to the batter.
• Baking Powder: Give the batter some rise and fluffiness.
• Salt: Enhances the flavors.
• Whole Milk: Binds all the batter together.
• Egg: Give the batter structure.
• Butter: Adds rich flavor to the batter. Helps the sugar spice mixture to stick to the rings.
• Vanilla Extract: Adds flavor.
• Cinnamon: Adds warm flavor that is a signature combination with apple.
• Ground Cardamom: Adds an additional layer of warm flavor.
• Granny Smith Apples: Honeycrisp apples could also be used. Avoid using soft apples like McIntosh or Golden Delicious.

How to Make This Fried Apples Recipe

1. Prep: Peel, core and slice the apples. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make Batter: Combine all the ingredients for the batter in a medium bowl starting with whisking the dry ingredients and then adding the wet ingredients.
3. Make Cinnamon Coating: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sugar, cardamom and sugar.
4. Coat the Apples: Dip the apples in the batter and place them in a single layer on the parchment lined baking sheet.
5. Freeze: Stick the baking sheet in the freezer and let the battered apples freeze for 45-60 minutes.
6. Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer and then air fry the apples in batches for 7-9 minutes.
7. Finishing Touches: Immediately brush the air-fried apples with melted butter and dredge in the cinnamon sugar. Serve immediately!

Tips for Making Air Fryer Fried Apple Rings:

• Use the right apple! A firm apple like Granny Smith, Gala or Honey Crisp is essential.
• In a hurry? You can leave the peel on!
• Use a mandolin slicer to cut the apples into even 1/4 inch slices so they cook evenly.
• Do NOT make in advance! These are not a good make ahead treat, however they reheat fairly well just not as crispy.
• Make it a la mode! Top a stack off with some vanilla or caramel ice cream and caramel sauce drizzle.

How to Reheat Fried Apple Rings

Heat the air fryer or oven to 400 degrees F and reheat until puffing and crisping again. They will be softer than the original, but still delicious.

Sweet and Savory Apple Recipes

I’m sure you’ve noticed my love for dutch apple pie-one of our most popular recipes ever (especially for Thanksgiving so make sure you pin it now!), apple crisp with the best oatmeal topping ever, classic apple pie with essential tips for the filling, and a savory option that’s the perfect sweet and savory combo- apple chutney pork chops!

What You’ll Need to Make Air Fry Baked Potatoes

You only need three simple ingredients to make perfect air fryer baked potatoes! Plus any toppings you love. This recipe is all about crisp skin, fluffy insides, and minimal effort.

• Russet Potatoes: Starchy with thick skin, ideal for baking.
• Oil (Olive Oil or Avocado Oil): Helps the skin get golden and crisp.

• Toppings (Optional): Try butter, sour cream, cheddar, bacon, chives, or chili.

These basic ingredients are all you need to make baked potatoes that are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and endlessly customizable with your favorite toppings. Check the recipe card below for more details and tips.

How to Dress Up a Baked Potato

When it comes to baked potato toppings, the options are endless, but a few classics always hit the spot. A generous sprinkle of sharp cheddar cheese melts beautifully into the fluffy center, while a hearty scoop of chili turns your potato into a full meal.

Add a dollop of sour cream for a cool, creamy contrast, and finish with a handful of chopped chives or green onions for a fresh bite. Don’t forget a pinch of salt and pepper to bring everything together, and if you’re feeling indulgent, crispy bacon bits are the perfect savory crunch. Whether you’re keeping it simple or going all out, these toppings take your baked potato to the next level.

Once cooled, wrap baked potatoes in aluminum foil and store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, remove the foil and pop them in the microwave for a quick option, just keep in mind the skin won’t stay as crispy. For better texture, reheat in the air fryer or oven to help bring back some of that crispiness.

Air Fryer Baked Potato FAQs

Do I have to pierce potatoes before air frying?

Yes! Using a fork or knife to pierce the potatoes is what allows steam to escape as they cook. If you skip this step, the potatoes could burst open in the air fryer. And I know from experience. 😉

Should I wrap potatoes in foil before cooking?

Everyone in Idaho is screaming, “NO!” right now. Wrapping potatoes in tin foil before air frying or baking makes the skin soggy. Instead, leave them alone and only season the potato skins with olive oil and sea salt. This is what makes them super crispy!

How long should I cook baked potatoes in the air fryer?

The exact timing on how long to cook baked potatoes in the air fryer will depend on your specific air fryer and the size of the potatoes. Typically a large potato takes around 45 minutes at 400 degrees.

Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside! These air fryer baked potatoes are a simple, satisfying addition to any meal. With just a few ingredients and minimal prep, they come together effortlessly and pair perfectly with all your favorite toppings.

I love that it’s high in protein and when baked in the air fryer it’s texture is heavenly! One of my new FAVORITE recipes for salmon is our smokey salmon bites with a fresh mango salsa! They are perfectly tender and caramelized bite-sized salmon pieces. So GOOD! I could eat these salmon bites every day!

Two Years of Testing…

I’ve been testing our air fryer salmon recipe for over 2 years now and I’ve discovered the absolute best dry rub recipe that takes this salmon from delicious to down right addicting. In fact, it is the best easy summer dinner recipe ever!! Yes, it is possible to make salmon in the air fryer without drying it out and yes, even our kids, the seafood haters love it!

Fresh Strawberry Mango and Avocado salsa

Our fruit salsa takes a regular salmon rice bowl from good to amazing!

This fruit salsa is the kind of sweet topping even picky eaters love!

No oven, no mess, and totally weeknight-friendly! This is a quick, healthy dinner that doesn’t feel like just getting something on the table.

Ingredients for Salmon Bites

All you need are simple pantry staples to make this dry rub for salmon.

In the next section, you can see all the ingredients you will need for the mango salsa– you will want to hit the produce section for those ingredients. Here is everything you will need:

For the Salmon

• Salmon– Look for skinless salmon filets to save yourself time on skin removal then just cut them into evenly sized, small cubes !
• Brown Sugar– A hint of sweetness, but it also helps to caramelize into a mouthwatering crust on the salmon.
• Spices– Smoked Paprika, Chili Powder, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Cayenne, Thyme, Cinnamon, and Salt: My spice blend of choice! The cinnamon is a secret ingredient!
• Coconut Oil Spray– This ingredient is a must! It adds the best flavor while keeping the seafood from sticking. Don’t worry, it doesn’t taste like coconut, but my testing showed the salmon turned out best with coconut oil spray!

For the Strawberry Mango Salsa

• Mango– Be gentle as you lightly touch the mango and apply a little pressure- A ripe mango will give slightly when squeezed, and have a sweet smell near the stem. Avoid wrinkly skin.
• Avocado– Press using a thumb and forefinger on the top and bottom of an avocado to test for ripeness, it should give a little.
• Strawberries– A little sweetness with more texture helps balance the salsa.
• Lime– Not only does it add a little acid, lime juice keeps your fruits from browning while you make dinner!
• Jalapeño– This can be skipped if little kids are eating the salsa, but 1/2-1 jalapeno really adds flavor.
• Cilantro– Fresh cilantro helps to break up the sweetness and acid in the salsa.

The measurements and all the details for the ingredients can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.

How to Cook Salmon in the Air Fryer

Preheat that air fryer and you’re less than 10 minutes from dinner! Here are the basic steps:

1. Prep: Preheat the air fryer and place the salmon pieces in a mixing bowl.
2. Season the Salmon: Combine all of the seasonings for the rub in a small bowl and toss with your salmon.
3. Cook the Salmon: Spray the air fryer pan with coconut spray and place the salmon in the pan. Cook for 7 minutes and be sure to flip it half way through.
4. Make the Salsa: While the salmon is cooking, prepare the salsa and let it chill in the fridge until ready to serve.

Tips for Making the Best Air Fryer Salmon Bites

We’ve cooked salmon every which way –Oven Baked Salmon in Foil, Grilled Salmon, Skillet Salmon. Through trial and error we’ve learned important tips for making salmon.

Top tips for having success with air fry salmon bites recipe:

1. Cut the salmon pieces to the same size so that they cook evenly.
2. Well coat the salmon on all sides with the dry rub. That brown sugar is going to crystallize and make the most amazing crust.
3. Spray the air fryer basket with coconut oil cooking spray AND spray the tops of the salmon to avoid sticking and encourage proper browning.
4. Don’t overcrowd the basket! You may need to do a couple of rounds depending on the size of your air fryer, but you want that air circulating!

Do I Remove Salmon Skin?

Yes, I prefer to remove the skin before seasoning and cooking the salmon bites. This way you can flip the bites while they are cooking and get them crispy on all sides. Better yet, buy it already skinned!

Can I Use Frozen Salmon?

I’ve tested both fresh and frozen salmon so you don’t have to wonder if that frozen filet will let you down. Frozen salmon works just great! You need to let it defrost enough to be able to cut and for the dry rub to stick to it and you may need to add a minute or two to the cooking time.

Can I Make This Recipe in the Oven?

Yes, you can make salmon bites in the oven! You won’t get that same super crispy crust on the outside but it is still fabulous!

Preheat the oven to 450℉ and place the seasoned salmon bites in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake for 8-10 minutes. If you want to get a little crispiness on the outside, change the oven to broil and let it cook for 1-2 minutes.

What to Eat with Air Fryer Salmon Bites

I love to eat my salmon and salsa plain, but our family often serves it up with cilantro lime rice or my real favorite, coconut rice. If you are looking to cut the carbs, our cilantro lime cauliflower rice is a great alternative! You can make it as a salad, or alongside roasted sweet potatoes as well. The options are endless! 

Storing and Reheating

How to Store Cooked Salmon:

If you have leftover salmon bites, make sure they have cooled completely and then store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They will keep for 3-4 days.

How to Reheat Salmon:

Place the salmon bites in the air fryer preheated to 400 degrees F and let them cook for 2-3 minutes or the oven at 425 degrees F for a few minutes.

Crispy, tender Air Fryer Salmon Bites topped with a sweet and spicy mango strawberry salsa—ready in under 10 minutes! An easy, healthy dinner your whole family will love.

Ingredients for Zucchini Fritters

If you have zucchinis overflowing in your garden, grab a couple of them and a few other simple ingredients. I always like to see a quick overview of the ingredients so I know what to grab at the grocery store. Here is everything you will need:

• Zucchinis: shredded small with a box grater, no need to peel them
• Egg: helps bind the fritter together
• Flour: gives the fritters structure and just regular all purpose flour is all you need
• Chives: adds flavor
• Basil: adds flavor
• Salt and Black Pepper: adds flavor and the salt draws out moisture from the zucchini
• Mozzarella Cheese: adds gooiness
• Parmesan Cheese: adds flavor and crispiness

Dipping Sauce

• Sour Cream: acts as the base for the dipping sauce, plain Greek yogurt can also be used
• Feta Cheese: adds saltiness and flavor
• Parsley: adds freshness
• Lemon Zest and Juice: adds acidity and bright fresh flavor
• Garlic: adds flavor
• Salt and Pepper: adds flavor

I sprinkled some green onions on top for the photos so that’s totally an option if you want! The measurements for each ingredient can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.

How to Make Zucchini Fritters

You won’t believe how easy it is to make these crisp zucchini fritters! Especially when you use the air fryer! Here are the steps:

• Prepare the Zucchini: Grate zucchini using a box grater or food processor and then place in a colander with salt and let stand for 10 minutes.
• Make the Sauce: While the zucchini is sitting, make the sauce. Place all ingredients into a blender and pulse until smooth. Set aside.
• Squeeze: Using a cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel, squeeze out as much liquid from the shredded zucchini. The salt will have released a lot of moisture.
• Combine: Add all of the ingredients for the fritters into a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
• Form the Fritters: Divide the zucchini mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into 3″ patties.
• Freeze: Place the patties in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to help them hold their shape better.
• Cook: Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F. Place the zucchini patties in the air fryer in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Air fry for 7 minutes, flip and do an additional 7-10 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
• Serve: Serve them hot with the dipping sauce on the side.

You can also find all of these instructions in the recipe card down at the end of the post.

Can I Make This on the Stovetop?

Yes, absolutely! Pour enough oil (canola or vegetable) in a dutch oven or high sided skillet to cover the bottom of the pan completely and be 1/2 to 1 inch deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees. Carefully place each patty in the hot oil and let it fry for a few minutes until golden brown and then flip and let it fry for a few minutes more. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels. Cook the patties in batches so you don’t overcrowd the pan.

Can I Bake Zucchini Fritters?

Baking the fritters in the oven also works, but keep in mind that you won’t get that crispiness on the outside of the fritters. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Place the uncooked fritters on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping them once halfway through.

Why are My Zucchini Fritters Falling Apart?

The likely suspect for fritters that fall apart is that the batter is too wet. This is usually due to the zucchini. Be sure to really squeeze out as much water as you can from the zucchini.

Why are My Zucchini Fritters Not Crispy?

Again, the reason will be too much moisture in the batter from the zucchini.

Storing and Reheating

Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. They will keep for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for an hour. Then move them to a ziploc bag. They will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Cold fritters can be reheated in the microwave, air fryer, skillet or oven. I’ve found the air fryer to reheat them with the best flavor and texture. Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F and cook for 5-7 minutes.

So, I did a little research, played around with a few different temps and times and voila, New York City (or anyone else without a grill) you can officially have grill worthy steak right from your counter top!

• Ribeye Steaks
• Kosher Salt
• Black Pepper
• Olive Oil

Garlic Butter

• Butter
• Garlic
• Kosher Salt

The measurements and details for each ingredient can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.

Best Steak for the Air Fryer

You want cuts of steak that are at least 1-inch thick with good marbling. Our first choice is a ribeye, but porterhouse, sirloin steak, New York strip, t-bone, top sirloin, and filet mignon would all work great too.

How to Air Fry Steak

This recipe is super easy, but it does take some planning ahead so be sure to start a day ahead. Here are the steps:

1. Prep: The night before you plan to eat the steaks, pat them dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Place them in the fridge uncovered.
2. Rub: Pull the steaks out of the fridge and let them come to room temperature. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F and rub olive oil all over both sides of the steaks.
3. Cook: Place them in the air fryer for 6 minutes then flip and cook another 6 minutes.
4. Rest: Let the steaks rest for 10 minutes and top with garlic butter (see instructions below) for serving.

For the Garlic Butter

1. Mix: Add all the ingredients to a small bowl and stir to combine completely.
2. Shape: Move the butter mixture to a piece of parchment paper and form it into a log shape. Twist the ends to close.
3. Refrigerate: Place in the fridge for at least an hour, up to 1 week.

All these instructions can be found in the recipe card where you can also save or print the recipe.

Recommended Equipment

Air Fryer: We love our Instant Pot Omni 10-in-1 Air Fryer. Not only does it air fry, but it also bakes, roasts, broils and even dehydrates. I’m sure any air fryer would do fine with this recipe, but this particular one is our favorite!

Meat Thermometer: The key to the perfect steak is to not overcook it! Using a meat thermometer will help you get the doneness you desire!

What to Eat with Steak

When it comes to having steak for dinner, just about any and all side dishes will go great with it! I’m going to give you a couple of ideas for salads, vegetables, bread and potatoes to eat with it.

Salads

• Tomato Cucumber Salad
• Strawberry Feta Spinach Salad

Vegetables

• Elote Grilled Mexican Corn Salad
• Cheesy Basil Roasted Veggies

Bread

• Herbed Focaccia Bread
• Potato Rolls

Potatoes

• Mashed Potatoes
• Baked Potatoes

How Long to Cook Steak in the Air Fryer

The air fryer takes all the guess work out of cooking the perfect steak! When you grill or cast iron a steak, you never quite know when it’s the doneness you desire. With the air fryer, you just set the time and flip once.

Medium: 12 minutes, flip at 6 minutes

Medium-rare: 10 minutes, flip at 5 minutes

Rare: 8 minutes, flip at 4 minutes.

If you want it more done than that, you shouldn’t be eating steak. Ok, that’s a bit harsh, but steak should never be cooked past medium. If you must, cook it for 14-16 minutes flipping halfway through.

What Temp Should I Cook Steak?

I prefer my steaks cooked medium or medium rare, but I know people have strong feelings about the doneness of their steak. Here are the temperatures to look for:

• Rare: 125°F
• Medium-Rare: 135°F
• Medium: 145°F
• Medium Well: 155°F
• Well: 160°F

Tips for the Best Air Fryer Stea

Make sure your steak isn’t too thin or it will cook inside too quickly before getting the outside nice and brown. You want it to be at least 1 inch thick.

Drying the steaks before air frying them is essential to getting that good sear on the outside. Pat them dry on all sides with a paper towel and let them sit uncovered in the refrigerator overnight.

Brushing oil on the outside will also help the steaks brown on the outside.

Make sure to give the steaks time to come to room temperature before cooking them. It will make all the difference for the best cook and flavor.

Give the steaks plenty of space in the air fryer basket. They shouldn’t be touching and should have plenty of room around them so the air fryer can work its magic!

Storing and Reheating

Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. It will keep for 3-4 days. I recommend reheating it in the air fryer for the best results.

Do yourself a favor and make your next steak in the air fryer! It’s the perfect answer for the winter months when you don’t want to freeze your buns off outside at the grill! The outside is seared and flavorful and the inside just melts in your mouth!

Discover a simple and tasty way to cook broccoli using an air fryer. This recipe is perfect for busy individuals looking for a healthy and quick vegetable side dish. Those crispy edges are everything!

I have been on an air fryer recipes kick lately and one night I wanted to try something different with our veggies. So instead of roasting our broccoli, I tried cooking it in the air fryer. I loved that I got similar results to roasting it but in a fraction of the time. You can make this recipe from start to finish in less than 15 minutes!

Ingredients for Broccoli in the Air Fryer

First we will air fry the broccoli with a little oil and salt, and we will toss it in a delicious maple garlic sauce. Here are the items you will need to make this recipe:

• Broccoli Florets: cut into similar bite-sized pieces
• Olive Oil: helps the broccoli get crispy around the edges
• Salt: adds flavor
• Garlic: adds flavor
• Maple Syrup: adds a subtle natural sweetness
• Sesame Oil: adds flavor to the sauce we toss the roasted broccoli in at the end

The measurements for everything can be found in the recipe card down below.

Can I Use Frozen Broccoli?

Yes, frozen broccoli works great for this recipe. I would steam it until just heated through and then smash it as written in the instruction. Then proceed with the recipe as written to air fry it.

How to Make Air Fryer Broccoli

Here are the step-by-step directions for making this air fryer vegetable recipe:

1. Steam: We are going to parboil the broccoli first to get it nice and tender before sticking it in the air fryer. Place the broccoli in a steamer basket in a large sauce pan with boiling water. Cover the pan and let it steam until tender.
2. Flatten: Spread the steamed broccoli into a single layer on a cutting board or right in the air fryer basket and smash each one with the bottom of a sturdy drinking glass until it’s about 1/2 inch thick.
3. Toss: Put the smashed broccoli into a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil and salt and then toss to coat. Return them to the air fryer basket or baking sheets in a single layer (you may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer) and cook at 400 degrees F for 8 minutes. You’ll want the edges to just start to get charred.
4. Stir: In a small bowl, stir together the garlic, maple syrup and sesame oil and then drizzle it over the broccoli and toss to coat.
5. Serve: Serve immediately while it’s crispy and hot!

When I was just graduating college, jalapeño poppers were really starting to take off as the most popular snack to bring to a game day football party. But I hated spicy. Who wants to bite into a straight up jalapeño?! It made no sense to me, but I could tell Cade actually thought they were pretty good.

I’ve set aside testing a recipe for many years now until it dawned on me that I could air fryer them! The crunchy topping, creamy/cheesy filling would be the perfect way to ease into spicier foods!

Ingredients for Homemade Jalapeño Poppers

The ingredients for homemade jalapeño poppers are simple and easy to find at the grocery store. Here is a list of everything you’ll need:

• Jalapeños
• Cream Cheese
• Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
• Green Onions
• Garlic Powder
• Salt
• Franks Red Hot Sauce
• Panko Breadcrumbs
• Butter

I always like a quick overview of everything I’ll need for a recipe. For all the measurements and details, scroll down to the recipe card below.

How to Make Jalapeno Poppers in the Air Fryer

Making jalapeno poppers in the air fryer is so simple and so much healthier than deep frying them. They are crisp on top and creamy in the middle, and perfect for a Super Bowl party or a game night with friends! Here are basic steps:

1. Prep: Halve the jalapeno peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees F.
2. Mix: Add all the filling ingredients into a small bowl and mix them all together.
3. Fill: Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the pepper halves.
4. Combine: In a separate small bowl, combine the panko and butter and then sprinkle the mixture over the top of the filled peppers.
5. Bake: Place the peppers in a single file and bake for 10 minutes.
   • NOTE: You’ll need to cook the peppers in two batches. You don’t want to overcrowd the peppers.

Please refer to the photos below to see the steps. Then keep scrolling to see a video of the whole process too. All the instructions can also be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.

Tips for Making Jalapeño Poppers

My first tip for making jalapeño poppers is to wear gloves when you are handling the jalapeños. The natural oils that come from the jalapeños are very hot. It hurts if it gets under your fingernails, and if you accidentally touch your eyes or nose, you might want to die. Serious pain!

If you are serving these to people who don’t love heat, use mini bell peppers instead of the jalapeños and follow the same instructions. You could also omit the Frank’s hot sauce from the filling.

Use full fat or low fat cream cheese to make this recipe. I would avoid the fat free cream cheese. The texture just doesn’t turn out right once it is baked.

This is a great make-ahead recipe! You can make the poppers up to 4-5 days ahead of time and store them in an airtight container until you’re ready to air fry them. I would wait and add the panko topping right before baking them. You could also make them completely and freeze them until you’re ready to cook them. Just add a couple extra minutes if you’re cooking them from frozen.

How to Cut a Jalapeños

With gloves on, slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and then use a small spoon to scrape out the seeds and membranes. I like to leave the stems on just to give them a little handle to grab onto while handling them and eating them.

If you want to leave some heat in the jalapeños, leave the membranes in them. The majority of the spiciness in jalapeños is found in the membranes and seeds.

How to Clean Jalapeno Oil from Your Hands

If you get some of the jalapeño oil on your fingers, there are a few things that will help remove it.

• Cooking Oil: like canola or vegetable oil
• Dish Soap: Dawn is the best for removing all oils from anything!
• Acid: lemon juice or vinegar

What to Serve with Jalapeno Poppers

If you’re making a delicious appetizer spread for a game day party or New Year’s Eve, here are some other ideas what to serve with these poppers:

• The Best Cheeseball
• Smoked Chicken Wings
• Spinach Artichoke Dip
• Cheese Fondue
• Slow Cooker Chili Sauce Meatballs
• Bacon Wrapped Avocados

We have tons of appetizer recipes if you want to keep looking for more!

We also love to have a dip alongside the poppers. Ranch dressing works great, but our favorite is a garlic sauce, (Laziz Toum is our favorite which is from a local restaurant here in Salt Lake City).

Can I Make This Recipe in the Oven?

Yes, if you don’t have an air fryer, these can be cooked in the oven. Place the poppers on a baking sheet and bake in the oven preheated to 400 degrees F for 20 minutes or until golden and the peppers are tender.

Variations

Bacon makes everything better, and if you love the flavor of bacon with jalapeño poppers, you can add crispy cookies bacon bits to the filling or the sprinkled on the top. You could also wrap each popper in a slice of bacon before air frying them. Heaven!

If you want to make this recipe gluten free, then skip the panko topping.

Check out our bacon and strawberry stuffed jalapeno poppers if you are fan of sweet and spicy appetizers! So delicious!

Storing and Reheating

Leftover jalapeño poppers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep for 4-5 days.

To reheat cold poppers, I like to use the air fryer to restore that crispiness. Place in an air fryer preheated to 370 degrees F for 4-5 minutes.

I can’t believe how quickly this recipe comes together when we use the trusty air fryer! It is crispy, creamy, spicy and cheesy…all the things you love in a rockstar appetizer!

Satisfy your breakfast cravings with this mouth-watering air fryer French toast muffins recipe! Perfect for busy mornings, these muffins are packed with all the flavor of traditional French toast in a convenient, grab-and-go form.

Ok, so years ago we made these little French toast sticks, which are delicious, but I kinda couldn’t stop thinking about other options. Especially for times when you want to feed more people in a fast amount of time.

So I knew I had to ditch the oven and go for the air fryer! These little muffins are perfect for baby showers, parties, back to school breakfast or most of all, we eat them for dinner haha!

Ingredients for Air Fryer French Toast Muffins

These air fryer muffins use all the same ingredients as traditional french toast but we just cook them a little differently. Here is everything you will need:

• Texas Toast or Cinnamon Swirl Bread
• Eggs
• Butter
• Whole Milk
• Sugar
• Vanilla Extract
• Salt 
• Flour
• Ground Cinnamon
• Powdered Sugar (optional)
• Maple Syrup (optional)

The measurements needed for each ingredient can be found in the recipe card. Keep scrolling for all the details.

How to Make French Toast Muffins in the Air Fryer

Picture french toast casserole but in individual muffin-sized portions and you’ll have this recipe! Here are the simple steps:

1. Prep: Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F.
2. Whisk: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, butter and milk.
3. Combine: Add in the sugar, vanilla, salt, flour and cinnamon and whisk vigorously to combine. 
4. Stir: Using a sharp bread knife, dice the bread into 1″ cubes and add to the egg base, stir to combine, tossing the cubed bread to coat.
5. Air Fry: Distribute the mixture into silicone muffin cups and air fry at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes until golden brown.
6. Serve: Remove and serve with syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

All of these instructions can also be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.

What is the Best Bread for French Toast?

I love to keep this recipe simple and affordable by using Texas toast or cinnamon swirl bread that I can just grab at Costco. If you want to get a little fancier, challah bread, croissants, or brioche will also work great.

PRO TIP: The real key to the bread you use is to make sure it is a couple of days old. If it’s a little stale, it will soak up the custard milk and egg mixture well and the baked french toast muffins won’t be soggy.

What to Eat with French Toast Muffins

If I’m making these muffins for dinner, then I like to serve them with a side of scrambled eggs and bacon! I like to balance out a sweet breakfast food with sometime savory! A fruit salad also makes a great side dish as well!

I already mentioned that I like to drizzle some syrup over the top of them. Maple syrup is delicious, but our buttermilk syrup is probably my favorite! That stuff is liquid gold!

How to Make French Toast Muffins in the Oven

If you don’t have an air fryer, you can totally make these muffins in the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. Fill each cup with the prepared bread and egg mixture. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown.

Variations

Air fryer french toast muffin cups are easy to make you’re own. Here are some ideas for add-ins:

• Raisins
• Craisins
• Chopped Pecans
• Chocolate Chips
• Cinnamon Chips

Another delicious variation would be to substitute the sugar (or some of the sugar) with light brown sugar. You can also top the muffins with jam or diced fruit like berries or peaches and a dollop of whipped cream.

Can French Toast Muffins Be Made Ahead of Time?

Yes! This is a great make ahead recipe. Follow the directions as written and then store the filled silicone muffin cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to air fry. They can be made up to a day ahead of time.

Storing and Reheating

Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container. The can be stored either in the fridge or at room temperature, and they will keep for 3-5 days.

French toast muffins also freeze well. Let them cool completely and then wrap individually in plastic wrap. Store in a ziploc bag or freezer-safe container. They will keep for up to 3 months.

The muffins can be reheated in the microwave, oven or air fryer. The microwave is quick and easy of course, but you’ll lose the crunchy texture on the outside. Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F in a baking dish covered with foil. Bake for 8-10 minutes. To reheat in the air fryer, preheat to 350 degrees and they will be ready in a couple of minutes.

Upgrade your breakfast routine with these tasty Air Fryer French Toast Muffins. Quick and easy to make, they are perfect for a busy morning, a weekend brunch or breakfast for dinner!

When our girls were little, Cade would take them on daddy daughter date nights periodically and the girls always picked Chick-fil-A as the place the wanted to eat dinner. I used to love Dairy Queen as a kiddo so I get it. Plus it’s a daddy date so I’m not invited.

When I was little I guess I used to get out of bed a lot and wake up super early. Which is funny because I HATE, DESPISE, DETEST, and VEHEMENTLY PROTEST waking up. I looooove to sleep and take naps. Love it. Anyway, my parents made me a chart when I was like 3 I think. Every day I didn’t get out of bed I got a whale stamp (remember how stamps weren’t all cool yet? It was just an old black ink pad and whale) on the date and after a week I got to go to Dairy Queen. What a treat!

So, I started researching Chick fil-A chicken copycat recipes and experimenting with recipes. Every recipe I saw had pickle juice so I was intrigued. This is a perfect copycat recipe! And my favorite part, it’s a fraction of the cost! Eating out has gotten so dang expensive!

2. Whisk: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.
3. Prep: Add the oil to a large saucepan and heat to about 350 degrees. 

Dip the Chicken

2. Dredge: Dip each chicken chunk into the egg mixture, and then dredge in the flour mixture. Repeat this step twice on each piece of chicken.

What to Eat with Chick Fil A Nuggets

A trip to Chick-fil-A isn’t complete without those signature waffle fries, right?! They honestly don’t do much for me, but hot salty fries are one of my love languages, so a side of crispy french fries is a great side dish option!

Homemade mac and cheese is classic side dish with chicken nuggets. If you want go with a little lighter side option, make a fresh salad or make some roasted veggies on the side.

Why Use Peanut Oil For Frying?

Peanut oil has a high smoke point and neutral taste which makes it perfect for frying foods.

Peanut oil is low in saturated fat and high in polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, making it a healthier choice for frying.

If you don’t have peanut oil, vegetable oil or canola oil are both good substitutes.

Is Chicken Breast Healthier Than Thighs?

Breasts and thighs actually do not differ that much in nutrient content.

Both chicken thighs and breasts are good sources of lean protein.

Chicken breast contains less fat and fewer calories than dark meat, but the differences are small.

Can I Cook These in the Air Fryer?

Yes, these work great in the air fryer! Preheat your air fryer to 390 degrees F. Coat the basket of your air fryer with cooking oil. Follow the directions in the recipe card for coating the chicken. Spray the coated chicken chunks with cooking spray on all sides.

Air fry a batch of chicken for 5 minutes. Shake the basket and spray any spots on the chicken that look dry and flour-y. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Repeat these steps with the rest of the chicken pieces. Be sure to not overcrowd your air fryer basket.

Storing Chicken Nuggets

Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep up to 4-5 days.

Chicken nuggets also freeze extremely well. Let them cool completely an then flash freeze them so that they don’t stick together as they freeze. Place all the nugs on a baking sheet and stick them in the freezer for an hour or so. Then place them in a ziploc bag. They will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Can You Reheat Chicken Nuggets?

You can reheat chicken nuggets.

The microwave may make chicken nuggets tough and soggy, so the best way to reheat is: place the chicken nuggets on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, and pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.

Ten minutes in the oven delivers great taste and crunchy texture.

How to Cook a Whole Chicken in the Air Fryer

6. Rest: Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 10 minutes.
7. Drizzle: Drizzle honey all over the top of the chicken and then slice and serve.

The complete instructions are available in the recipe at the end of the post. Keep scrolling for all the details!

Tips for Achieving Crispy Skin

Patting the chicken dry before adding the butter and seasonings is critical to achieving that crispy delicious skin. Drying the chicken removes excess moisture which will allow the butter to help crisp up the skin. Afterall, it’s the crispy skin that we all want, right?! Flipping the chicken halfway through the air frying also helps the chicken cook evenly.

Cooking Time and Temperature Recommendations

Depending on the size of your whole chicken, it will take about 50-60 minutes to cook in the airfryer. You will start by cooking the chicken with the breast side down, and then flip it over and cook until the internal temperature measures 165 degrees F in the thickest part of the thigh. That will take an additional 20-30 minutes.

Alternative Seasoning Options

We love the simple combination of smoked paprika, salt, garlic powder and fresh thyme, but you can definitely experiment with different seasonings. You can change up the fresh herbs and use rosemary, basil, oregano, and/or sage. You could also add some lemon zest for a bright citrus burst of flavor. If you want to use the chicken for a Mexican meal, use cumin, chili powder or a taco seasoning blend. The options are really endless!

What to Eat with a Whole Chicken

This air fryer whole chicken recipe is so flexible when it comes to finding sides to go with it. Here are a few suggestions:

• Baked Potatoes
• Tomato Cucumber Salad
• Herbed Focaccia Bread
• Macaroni and Cheese
• Potato Rolls
• Roasted Carrots
• Pea Salad

How to Use Air Fryer Whole Chicken

If you have leftovers or you are just air frying the chicken to use in another recipe, this chicken goes great in soups, wraps, salads, sandwiches, pasta, bowls, etc. Some of our favorite ways to use this chicken is in chicken pot pie, honey lime chicken burritos, or white chicken chili.

Health Benefits of Cooking with an Air Fryer

Using an air fryer to fry food rather than oil reduces the calories and fat significantly.

Reasons I Love This Recipe

• Quick: There is only about 5 minutes of prep time for this recipe and it only takes about an hour to cook.
• Flavor: The flavor of this chicken is mouth-watering! That crispy seasoned chicken skin on top of the juicy chicken is irresistible.
• Easy: No complicated cooking instructions here, just rub the seasonings all over the chicken and then let the air fryer do all the work.
• Healthy: One serving of air fryer chicken is less than 300 calories and is low carb and high in protein.
• Texture: The skin is crispy and adds so much texture when you pair it with that juicy chicken.

Storing and Reheating

Whole chicken should be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week. I always prefer to use it within a day or two. It also freezes extremely well. A FoodSaver will help you to be able to get the best results when freezing chicken as it sucks out the air and vacuum seals the meat. Remove from the freezer and let it thaw in the fridge for a least 1 day and probably more.

To reheat air fried chicken, place it back in the air fryer heated to 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes. You can also reheat in a microwave on medium for 2-5 minutes. 

Learn how to achieve perfectly crispy skin and tender meat in your air fryer with this delicious whole chicken recipe. It’s a healthier and easier alternative to traditional roasted chicken that will have your taste buds begging for more.
