Air fryer carrots are a no-fuss, high-reward recipe that adds color, nutrition, and flavor to any meal. Whether you’re cooking for kids or prepping a quick weeknight dinner, this dish is a must-try.

Why Make Carrots in the Air Fryer?

Compared to roasting in a traditional oven, the air fryer reduces cooking time and gives you a great texture with less oil.

Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Carrots:

Don’t overcrowd the basket – Give the carrots space to crisp up properly.
Use similar-sized pieces – This ensures even cooking.
Adjust time based on thickness – Thinner slices cook faster; chunkier pieces may need a few extra minutes.

Nutritional Benefits:

Carrots are packed with beta-carotene, fiber, and antioxidants. Air frying keeps them low in fat while preserving their nutrients — making this a heart-healthy, waistline-friendly option.

AIR FRYER SPAGHETTI SQUASH

Nicole — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 00:12:34 +0000

AIR FRYER SPAGHETTI SQUASH is quicker, just as flavorful, and results in perfectly tender, easily shreddable strands. Perfect served as a healthy side dish or in place of pasta.

Air Fryer Spaghetti Squash: A Fast and Healthy Twist on a Classic

Spaghetti squash has become a favorite among low-carb, gluten-free, and health-conscious eaters due to its pasta-like texture and mild flavor. While roasting it in the oven is a common method, cooking spaghetti squash in an air fryer is a game changer.

Why Cook Spaghetti Squash in an Air Fryer?

Time-Saving: Traditional oven roasting takes about 40–50 minutes. In the air fryer, spaghetti squash is done in 20–25 minutes.
Energy-Efficient: Using an air fryer means no need to heat up the whole kitchen with your oven.
Better Texture: The circulating hot air in the fryer crisps the edges slightly while keeping the flesh moist and tender—ideal for that “spaghetti” texture.

Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Spaghetti Squash {screenshot for grocery list}

2 pound spaghetti squash small to medium, size depends on the size of your air fryer
1 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
garlic powder optional
paprika optional
crushed red pepper optional
Italian seasoning optional

AIR FRYER SPAGHETTI SQUASH is quicker, just as flavorful, and results in perfectly tender, easily shreddable strands. Perfect served as a healthy side dish or in place of pasta.

Ingredients

2 pound spaghetti squash small to medium, size depends on the size of your air fryer
1 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
garlic powder (optional)
paprika (optional)
crushed red pepper (optional)
Italian seasoning (optional)

Instructions

If your spaghetti squash is too big for your air fryer - cut the ends off.
Then slice spaghetti squash in half longways with a sharp knife – do this carefully because it will be hard. Pro Tip: puncture and microwave squash for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly before cutting.
Scoop out seeds with a large spoon and discard.
Place squash halves in the air fryer basket. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with spices.
Cook for 18-20 minutes at 380ºF. You’ll know the spaghetti squash is done when a spoon or fork easily goes through the flesh of the squash.
Carefully remove squash from air fryer - it will be hot. Hold onto the squash with a pot holder and scrape the flesh into long strands using a fork.
Top with parsley.

Air Fryer Cauliflower Wings

Nicole — Thu, 06 Oct 2022 19:56:17 +0000

These Air Fryer Bbq Cauliflower Wings are a tasty vegan appetizer or snack. Air fried cauliflower crisped then tossed with barbecue sauce.

CAULI WINGS

These ‘wings’ made with cauliflower are a great vegan alternative to chicken wings. Battered, air fried and slathered in sauce for a delicious appetizer. Perfect for game day snacks.

RECIPE TIPS & SUGGESTIONS:

Rice flour is the key to crispy cauliflower wings– it helps create a mock tempura batter that stays crispier than a typical flour batter. If you don’t have rice flour, a gluten free flour substitute will work as well.
All purpose flour helps thicken the tempura batter so it sticks to the cauliflower better.
Cornstarch helps the cauliflower wings crisp even more by absorbing extra moisture.
Baking powder helps create a light and fluffy batter.
Club soda is another key ingredient in our tempura batter. Make sure the club soda is very cold!
Cauliflower is the star of the show in this recipe. Aim for 1.5” wide florets.
Butter helps thin the BBQ sauce so it isn’t too thick on the wings. Use non-dairy butter for vegan – Miyokos is my favorite but use whatever you have on hand.

SAUCE OPTIONS:

This recipe calls for regular bbq sauce. Feel free to use whatever flavor bbq sauce you prefer. Or, use Buffalo Wing Sauce for a buffalo wing version.

These Air Fryer Bbq Cauliflower Wings are a tasty vegan appetizer or snack. Air fried cauliflower crisped then tossed with barbecue sauce.

Ingredients

1 cup rice flour
½ cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 ¼ cups cold club soda
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
⅓ cup BBQ sauce
3 tablespoons non-dairy butter
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional / to taste

Instructions

Spray air fryer basket with nonstick. Preheat your air fryer basket at 400ºF for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, all purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and kosher salt. Add the club soda and whisk until no large lumps remain.
Carefully dip a cauliflower floret into the batter and place it in the air fryer. Repeat with as many florets as will fit, but make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer.
Cook at 400ºF for 12 minutes. Flip the cauliflower and cook for an additional 8 minutes. Between batches, keep the cauliflower on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet– this will help keep it crispy until you’re ready to sauce it.
Meanwhile, add the BBQ sauce, non-dairy butter, and red pepper flakes to a large microwave safe bowl. Cook for 1 minute, or until the butter is melted and then whisk to combine.
Toss the cooked cauliflower in the sauce and then return it to the air fryer. Cook at 400F for an additional 5 minutes.
Serve immediately garnished with chopped green onion or parsley.
These cauliflower wings are best enjoyed immediately after they are cooked as they will become soggy as they sit.
