If you don’t already have an air fryer, make sure somebody gifts you one this holiday season. And if you do, it’s time to brainstorm some air-fryer holiday recipes to make for your next big party. Good news is the options are endless—and each one is tastier than the next.
The thing about air-fryer recipes is that the food gets crispy like deep-fried things but doesn’t require as much clean-up. And who wants to deal with kitchen clean-up when there are guests on their way over? Not me.
No matter what your reasoning, I guarantee there’s a holiday recipe that you absolutely need to try on the list below. Heck, there may be several that speak to you. Whether you’re hosting a few people or a few dozen, these easy, tasty options are bound to be a hit.
