    From succulent chicken dishes and seafood to delicious vegetarian options, an air fryer simplifies dinner preparation with ease. It preheats quickly, cooks food in a fraction of the time compared to a traditional oven, and requires minimal cleanup.

    For chicken dishes, an air fryer is perfect for cooking chicken breasts or thighs, including a variety of boneless chicken thighs recipes, to juicy, tender perfection. Chicken wings, such as air fryer lemon pepper wings, turn out especially well as the excess fat drips away, leaving you with crispy, flavorful wings.

    Additionally, whether homemade or store-bought, chicken tenders and nuggets become golden and crunchy in the air fryer. The appliance is also excellent for dishes like air fryer breaded shrimp, as it crisps up breaded coatings with minimal oil, giving you the texture you love without the need for deep frying.

    When it comes to fish, shrimp, or other seafood, an air fryer excels at cooking quickly while preserving the juiciness of salmon fillets and the succulence of shrimp, such as in air fryer Mexican shrimp recipe.

    It also does a fantastic job with breaded fish, ensuring an exceptionally crispy exterior. Additionally, if you’re reheating frozen fish sticks for fish stick tacos, the air fryer delivers a crispy finish without the need for deep frying.

    Vegetables also thrive in an air fryer. When preparing a small batch of vegetable side dishes for dinner, the air fryer roasts veggies to a perfect charred and tender finish, like the air fryer brussels sprouts. It can even cook whole sweet potatoes or halved butternut squash in half the time of a conventional oven, making it a quick and efficient choice for your meal prep.

    Frozen foods are a breeze with an air fryer. Frozen chicken nuggets, fish fillets, and egg rolls or spring rolls cook up crisp and hot without the need for deep frying.
