Cream cheese tempers the just-right hint of heat from the pepper and Buffalo sauce.
The potatoes get crispy on the outside, while the insides stay creamy.
A quick scallion-cream cheese-yogurt dip complements the fries and will remind you of your favorite bagel.
Air-Fryer Sweet Potato Chips
Thinly sliced sweet potatoes fry to a crispy crunch in the air fryer.
These homemade chips also use much less oil, which cuts down on calories and fat.
They’re a naturally sweet side for sandwiches, burgers, wraps and more.
For the best texture, keep each fry as evenly sized as possible.
Try a mandoline to make quick work of equal fries if your knife work could use some help.
Air-Fryer Crispy Chickpeas
Air-fried chickpea snacks are intensely flavored and incredibly crunchy.
Drying the chickpeas is essential to a good crunch, so don’t skip this step.
And the best part?
The air fryer delivers a crispy crunch without having to pile on the oil like traditional fryers do.
Air-fry, then dip into honey- or vanilla-flavored yogurt.
Air-Fryer Roasted Pepper-Tomato Salsa
This colorful, healthy salsa features bell pepper, tomatoes and jalapeno.
“Roasting” the vegetables in the air fryer creates a smoky, caramelized flavor.
Pair this salsa with tortilla chips, or serve on top of meat or fish.
Air-Fryer Onion Rings
These air-fryer onion rings are a great alternative to traditional deep-fried onion rings.
The homemade dipping sauce adds to the savory flavor and adds a creamy note to counter the crispy coating.
Air-Fryer Sweet Potato Fries
Air-fried sweet potato fries are crispy, tender and delicately sweet.
If the cinnamon-pepper spice is too intense, try thyme, oregano, paprika or garlic instead.
