There are so many different ways you can use an air fryer. Yes, chips do taste AMAZING in an air fryer, but there are so many more things you can cook! I’ve rounded up some of my favourite air fryer recipes.
I’m not going to lie, my primary reason for getting an air fryer was to justify keeping chips on my regular meal rotation. Oh and fried chicken. I know, quite an expensive justification to keep on eating my favourite foods.
So, you can imagine my delight when I discovered that I could make so much more in my air fryer than chips and KFC fakeaway. I have made cakes, bread, pizza, frittatas – and even cooked whole roast joints!
I have lots more air fryer recipes to add to this round-up – I just need to get round to adding them to the blog 🙂 So, keep an eye on this page as I add more recipes.

Just like chips, potato wedges in an air fryer are quick and easy to make. Simply wash, slice and add to the air fryer! They come out deliciously crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Change up the flavour by experimenting with different seasonings – curry powder is a good one for curried potato wedges!

Hi Liana, Tried your recipe for carrot cake in our Phillips Air Fryer at 175c for 20 minutes. It was a great success, very light and moist, used a 6” cake tin and had enough mix left to fill 5 large cup cakes. Topped them with a cream cheese icing. Will definitely try your other recipes.
