Air-Fryer Pizza Puffs

Cover and freeze unbaked pizza puffs on waxed paper-lined baking sheets until firm. Transfer to a freezer container; seal and return to freezer. To use, preheat air fryer to 350°; cook pizza puffs on a greased tray in air-fryer basket as directed, increasing time as necessary until golden brown.

Air-Fryer Black Bean Chimichangas

These chimichangas get a little love from the air fryer, so they’re much healthier than their deep-fried counterparts. Black beans provide protein, and the recipe is a smart way to use up leftover rice.

Air-Fryer Calamari

Like some other seafood recipes, calamari turns tough when it is overcooked. The key to keeping it soft is to cook it quickly with high heat.

Air-Fryer Latkes

Latkes are wonderful with Hanukkah staples like sufganiyot, brisket, kugel and matzo ball soup. But you can also serve them with a big salad or fried eggs. I love to serve them on a latke grazing platter with different items like smoked salmon, pickles, olives, cheeses, greens like arugula, and whatever other toppings you can come up with.

Air-Fryer Pork Tenderloin

Resting the meat for at least 10 minutes is the best way to keep pork from drying out in the air fryer. Resting allows the juices to redistribute within the meat instead of spilling out onto the cutting board. It’s also important to avoid overcooking pork tenderloin. It’s OK if the pork is pink, but it must reach a safe internal temperature of 145°.

Air-Fryer Hard-Boiled Eggs

Hard- or soft-boiled, the method is the same, according to former Taste of Home Food Editor Rashanda Cobbins. Set the air fryer to 275°. Soft-boiled eggs will be ready in seven minutes, and hard-boiled in 15. Once you’ve made your air-fryer hard-boiled eggs, here are some hard-boiled egg recipes to try!

Air-Fryer Chicken Wings

You can double (or triple) the amount of spices and chicken. The only tricky thing about chicken wings in the air fryer is space. You’ll still need to cook the wings in batches as shown above. If doubling the recipe, it might be better to bake the chicken wings on a baking sheet in a 425° oven. They’ll take longer—50 to 60 minutes, turning every 20 minutes—but they’ll all finish cooking at the same time.
