Meal Plan and Recipe Notes
- Experiment with different types of food. You'll be surprised how many things you can prepare using an air fryer.
- Some recipes may require you to preheat the air fryer. This ensures that your food will cook evenly and come out crispy.
- Make sure you don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. You may need to cook in batches...but it's for the best to make sure the food cooks evenly.
- Halfway through the cooking, shake the basket to ensure that the food is cooking evenly. This also helps to prevent sticking.
Top Tip
Make sure you lightly spray the basket with non-stick cooking spray to prevent food from sticking. You can also brush the basket with a little vegetable oil.

What to Cook in an Air Fryer?
You can "fry" beef, chicken, fish, frozen food and vegetables. I'm loving the idea of using it for French fries! Frozen food cooked in the air fryer comes out super crispy and taste delicious.
Did you know that air fryers are not only great for making main dishes and appetizers, but also delicious desserts? I'm personally excited to try making Cherry Biscuits or Chocolate Muffins for breakfast!
