My mom is getting her first air fryer and she is collecting favorite things to cook. What are some of your favorite things to cook in an air fryer?

    @Crystal Bruce A very simple thing I do all the time - get a pack of chicken tenderloins, slice off the gristle and membrane, cover both sides generously in Tajin, and cook for about 15 minutes, flipping all the pieces over and then finishing off for an add'l 5 minutes. Tasty and usually lasts the whole week re: meal prep. Pair with broccoli, rice, or whatever.

    @Crystal Bruce Roasted potatoes! I never season them the same way twice, but I love how crispy they get in the air fryer.

    @Crystal Bruce similar to Austen, I love cooking fresh broccoli in mine. After cleaning and cutting it to the tops, I just spray it with some olive oil and pop it in the tray for about 10 minutes around 350* or so.

    @Miki Martin That's a really good treat. We do asparagus like that in ours too. Very tasty.

    @Crystal Bruce Loving this thread as my air fryer collects more dust than I like to admit….
    Here's a sweet treat option:

    Get a tin of biscuits/croissants or whatever dough your heart desires. Make a little pocket in the dough and wrap the dough around a piece of Hershey's chocolate (or Reese's or really any chocolate) You can also slather some Nutella on those bad boys before the chocolate :) OK NOW IM DROOLING

    Pop those bad boys in the air fyer and brush a bit of melted butter on top and bake at 325 for 4-5 minutes.
