Memorial Day is a day to show pride and remembrance in the United States for our fallen soldiers who have died in service.
One of the ways we celebrate their lives and history is by coming together, with friends and family, and remembering their sacrifices.
Most people show their support and togetherness by sharing their love of food and community.
That's why we decided to share our favorite air fryer recipes that are perfect for Memorial Day. It's already hot in Louisiana in May, so if we can, we will skip the grill and stay in the cool air.
Enjoy these Memorial Day recipes, and remember to honor those who have served and given their lives for our freedoms. 🙂
We've broken down the recipes below into different categories: main dishes, appetizers, side dishes, and desserts.
