- What to serve with these air fryer dinners
When you need dinner on the table fast, our air fryer dinner recipes are your solution. The beauty of air fryer cooking lies in its versatility and ability to cook quickly with minimum mess. And in some cases even complete meals can be cooked in one basket. Roast vegetables while your protein crisps to perfection. Or prepare a fresh salad while you air fry chicken drumsticks, wings or chicken thighs.
From sizzling lamb kofta to comforting sausage and vegie bakes and a whole roast chicken, the variety is endless. Even pizza night gets an upgrade with perfectly crisp bases and bubbly cheese.
Whether it’s Asian-style pork belly salad, hearty jacket potatoes, or even a carbonara pasta frittata, your air fryer handles it all. These recipes prove that incredible dinners don’t need to be complicated.

Air fryer cooking tips
Always check your manual before diving into cooking. Give your air fryer plenty of breathing room on the bench. Remember, that basket gets hot. Treat it like an oven door when you pull it out and use silicone-tipped tongs or heatproof mitts to avoid burns.
Air fryers are renowned for replicating the crisp texture of deep-frying with a fraction of the oil. That’s healthier cooking without sacrificing taste. Reduce oven temperatures by 20°C when converting recipes, and turn food halfway through for even browning.
