Breakfast
Eggy Toast
You can’t really go wrong with bacon, eggs, and toast for breakfast, so throwing everything in an air fryer was a natural fit. The only downside with this is that the egg yolk won’t be nice and jammy, but more of a hard-boiled consistency.
Rating: 7/10
Bananas
This is so unnecessary. Just buy a bag of cinnamon banana chips and call it a day. There isn’t a reason to air fry these for a snack.
Rating: 2/10
Cinnamon Sugar Cream Cheese Bagel
Sort of like a cinnamon roll in a hurry, the cinnamon sugar cream cheese bagel will hold up well in the air fryer. The only possible downfall is the cream cheese getting too warm and not being as tasty, so tread carefully.

Lunch & Dinner
Smashed Potatoes
Potatoes are the perfect thing to use an air fryer for, as you can get them done faster and crispier than in a traditional oven. And the buttery, garlicky taste is one of the best you can pair with a spud.

Bacon Apple Grilled Cheese
While all the flavors make sense, this is one of those things that hauling your air fryer out for is just stupid. You don’t need to air fry everything—just use a regular skillet for the same results.

Cheesy Bacon Hassleback Chicken
Hassleback chicken has changed the game, so stuffing it with cheese and bacon will only make everything better. And you get the bonus recipe of some Italian potatoes!

Desserts & Snacks
S’mores
Who knew you could make this campfire classic in an air fryer? It turns out surprisingly well! You won’t get the smokiness, but if you don’t have access to an open flame, it will do in a pinch.

Cinnamon Sugar Bites
It’s clear that certain flavors seem to bode well for air fryers, and cinnamon sugar is one of them. With some refrigerated biscuit dough and cinnamon sugar, you have some super sweet bites to snack on for dessert.

Brownie Toast
Why? Why does this exist? What does the bread add to this? Are you trying to fool yourself into being healthy by having toast? Or is this dessert? I have so many questions.
