Crispy Salt and Pepper Air Fryer Tofu with Asparagus

This quick meal features tofu that's crispy around the edges and tender on the inside, coated in a sweet and salty marinade including soy sauce, light brown sugar, and ground Szechuan peppercorns. The perfect partner? Garlicky asparagus, which also gets flavor from Chinese five spice and toasted sesame oil. Shaking the tofu in a resealable container with the soy sauce mixture is the best way to ensure that it's evenly coated; reserving some of the mixture for drizzling on the finished dish adds a double-dose of flavor. Any leftover asparagus and tofu can be reheated in the air fryer.

Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan

If you haven't made Chicken Parmesan in an air fryer yet, consider this your invitation to get started. This recipe yields crispy, juicy chicken and ultra-melty cheese, which pairs beautifully with the acidity of tomato sauce. Before the final cook in the air fryer, be sure to line the inside of the basket with aluminum foil, and coat the foil with cooking spray to prevent sticking. As for serving? You can pair the chicken with a salad, such as a classic Caesar, or go for garlicky broccoli, Broccolini, or broccoli rabe.

Air Fryer Smores

Air fryers, even the best air fryers, are all made differently. If your marshmallows burned, even in the lowest amount of time suggested, then you may just have a super powerful air fryer. Test just one s’more at a time until you find the sweet spot with your air fryer.

Pork Ribs

For a complete meal, you can serve these air fryer ribs with classic barbecue sides like coleslaw, baked beans or a freshly baked pan of buttery cornbread.

Meatballs

Rolling the beef together when forming your meatballs can compress it and make it tough to chew. To avoid this, mix your meat gently and use a scoop (an ice cream scoop works great!) to create the balls.

Cornbread

Serve this air-fryer cornbread warm with a side of slow-cooker chili or any hearty stew. For a special sweet treat, spread butter on a warm slice of cornbread and drizzle with honey before serving.
