1. Make Hard-Boiled Eggs: Cook hard cooked eggs in the air fryer for a fuss-free method that yields perfectly cooked eggs with easy-to-peel shells.
250⁰ Fahrenheit for 12 to 15 minutes

2. CRISPY CHICKEN with no flour and no oil added. Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder to 1 pound of chicken on the skin side only

3. Dehydrate Fruits and Veggies: Use the air fryer's low temperature setting to dehydrate slices of fruits and vegetables, turning them into delicious and healthy snacks. Time and temperature will vary. Slice a pineapple thin and dehydrate 135⁰ Fahrenheit for approximately 3 hours

4. Make Crispy Tofu: Achieve a crispy exterior and tender interior by air-frying tofu, creating a versatile ingredient for various dishes. Simmer 1 pound of tofu in 4 cups of water and 2 tablespoons of salt for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, then season with spices and coat with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Spray with oil and air fry at 400⁰ Fahrenheit for 10 to 12 minutes

5. Toast Nuts and Seeds: Quickly toast nuts and seeds in the air fryer to enhance flavor and crunchy texture of your dishes. Air fry at 325⁰ Fahrenheit for 4 to 5 minutes

6. Zucchini chips! Sprinkle sliced zucchini with 1 to 2 teaspoons of salt and let stand for 30 minutes to draw out moisture. Coat with fish breading (I love Kyvan brand, it's well-seasoned and not too salty). Air fry at 375⁰ Fahrenheit for 5 to 7 minutes or until brown and crispy

7. Dry Herbs: Dry fresh herbs in the air fryer to preserve flavor and create homemade seasoning blends. Dehydrate thyme at 135⁰ Fahrenheit for 2.5 to 3 hours. Time and temperature may vary for different herbs

8. Roast spaghetti Squash. Make sure the vegetables are below the maximum fill line of your appliance. Don't put the vegetables too close to the heating element. Cut a 3 pound spaghetti squash in half and remove the seeds. Roast at 350⁰ Fahrenheit for approximately 30 minutes, turning once, or until the spaghetti squash is tender

9. PUFF PASTRY TART. Place puff pastry on parchment paper, doc the dough with a fork, spread with garlic herb cheese spread like Alouette (Aldi has a great version too)
Layer with slices of zucchini and bake at 400⁰ Fahrenheit for approximately 9 to 12 minutes or until crispy and brown

10. Revive Stale Snacks: Give stale snacks like chips or crackers a new lease on life by air-frying them for a few minutes to restore their crunchiness. 300⁰ for 3 to 5 minutes

11. Cook Bacon: Place bacon strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket for a mess-free and evenly cooked crispy bacon. Air fry at 375 for 6 to 10 minutes or until bacon is brown and crispy
