Air fryer side dish recipes to make tonight


Hi Reader,

My air fryer is one of the best purchases I've ever made. It makes cooking so much easier!

I love using it to make burgers, chicken breast, and even fajitas, but it also does an amazing job on side dishes. It frees up oven and stove space, and it helps me get dinner on the table more quickly.

You'll be amazed at what a wonderful job it does with roasted vegetables, zucchini fries, and crispy potatoes.

No messy oil. No waiting for the oven to preheat. No extra long cooking times.

If you don’t already have one you love, this is the air fryer I use*, and it hasn’t let me down yet.

Today I’m sharing seven of my air fryer side dish recipes, but be sure to explore all of my air fryer recipes for even more inspiration.
