Air fryer recipes for fall (or anytime!)

Close-up of roasted Brussels sprouts on a plate, showing their browned and crispy edges.

Air fryers are great tools for easily cooking crispy foods. They use less added fat than deep fryers because they brown foods with hot air rather than hot oil. Try these fall-inspired recipes in your air fryer. Don’t have an air fryer? Try them in the oven, preferably on the “convection” setting. For crispiest results, cook foods in a single layer and don’t crowd the basket.
