Crispy Chickpeas
Rinse and drain a can of chickpeas, then pat them dry. Toss the chickpeas with olive oil and your choice of seasonings (try paprika, cumin, and garlic powder). Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. They'll come out crispy and addictive!
Zucchini Fries
Slice zucchinis into thin strips, dip them in beaten egg, and coat with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and seasoning. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for about 12-15 minutes until golden and crispy.
Kale Chips
Tear kale leaves into bite-sized pieces, removing the tough stems. Toss with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until they become crispy but not browned.
Stuffed Mushrooms
Remove the stems from large mushrooms and fill the caps with a mixture of cream cheese, garlic, herbs, and grated cheese. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is bubbly.
Apple Chips
Slice apples thinly and toss them with cinnamon and a touch of sugar if desired. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until they're crispy and slightly caramelised.

Remove the pits from Medjool dates and stuff them with almond or peanut butter. Wrap each date with a strip of bacon (optional) and secure with a toothpick. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes until the bacon is crispy.
