Okay, good suggestion

not gonna make carrot cake, but lets keep spitballin

Salmon is super easy and tasty. Brush melted butter on it, season the fuck out of it, toss it in for 5 minutes at 400, done.

Dehydrate stuff

Bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers. One of my favorite things to make in the air fryer these days.

I recommend starting with this guy. He beats the "cooking with air fryer" drum pretty well.

Hmm idk if my local grocery store has those peppers but I will definitely check because that looks delicious

Hot Pockets

I'm getting one next month. Just gonna try making random shit I would usually make in an air fryer to see how different it turns out. I saw some video on FB of a guy making all kinds of layered desserts in one, so I might try something like that.

Buy this:

Roll chicken tenderloins around in it like it was breadcrumbs. Don't add anything extra it's all included.

Air fry for quick and dirty chicken tenders.

I think you might be able to use fresh banana peppers. But they aren't going to have the odd "spicy" one that you'd find with the padron peppers.

Another website said shishito peppers

I wouldn't use those. They are far too big

But these might work as a replacement.

Turns out that Italians will use these peppers to make pimientas padron if they can't get ahold of padron peppers.

(So if Peter Piper picked a peck of padron peppers, how many peppers did Peter Piper pick?)

Should have finished reading before posting.

Nah, padron's aren't spicy, normally. They're a bit grassy and smoky.

A banana pepper (friggitello) doesn't have the grassy taste, but will still be a bit smoky from the cooking process.

I got hella shit. Mostly veggies, but also shrimp and salmon.

expect hourly updates of food.

the only problem I can see is I can only cook one thing at once

Can you make fruit leather? Because that's what I'd make.

You can make fruit leather in a regular oven so I'd imagine you can do it in an air fryer too.

Spray some mushrooms with olive oil spray, then add garlic powder. Then air fry for... until they're done. Tasty snack.

Either Chicken or Shrimp. Both come out really nice

return it and use your oven

sweet potatoes next

Oh, Brussels sprouts are great in the air fryer, too. I chop up a few slices of bacon and air fry them until crispy, while I cut off the stems of the sprouts and slice them in half.

Then I take the rendered bacon fat and toss the sprouts in some with some salt and pepper, and air fry on the highest temp until they get nice and charred/crispy. toss with the bacon bits, maybe a little shredded parm, and some balsamic vinegar.
