Air Fryer Recipes

These are all the things I make in my air fryer and the approximate times they take. The time isn't exact. If you have a fuller basket, it will take longer, and an emptier basket will take less time. I always use the highest temp on my air fryer, which is 390 degrees. Also, I almost always pause the air fryer and shake the basket at least once during cooking time to make sure it cooks evenly.


French fries and other potato products - these generally take about 15-20 minutes. Potato wedges take a little less time.

Chicken fingers - 15-20 minutes depending on how many you do. If the chicken is fully cooked when you buy it, it only takes 6-8 minutes.

Baby carrots - toss the carrots with a little oil and salt & pepper, spread in mostly a single layer and air fry for 15 minutes or until cooked through.

Bacon - add water to the bottom of the basket until it's almost covered so that the bacon fat doesn't smoke. You can generally fit half a package of bacon in the basket. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, pausing once to stir and make sure the bacon isn't sticking together.

Pizza pops - about 10-12 minutes

Egg rolls - 10-12 minutes

Hot dogs - 5 minutes. Smokies take about 10.

Toast or English muffins - 3 minutes


Other ideas - raw potatoes cut in wedges or cubes will work but I forget how long they take, probably about 20 minutes. Apparently you can cook chicken breasts in there, and hamburger patties, but I haven't tried that yet.

The only thing I've tried that didn't work at all was roasting broccoli. It burned too much before it got cooked through.
