I have been using the air fryer for quite some time. If you can cook something in the oven, you can also cook it in the air fryer. 

Another great thing about air fryers is that they are made to specifically save you time, energy, and unwanted fats and calories from deep fried foods. So skip the deep fryer and grab an air fryer. 

How does an Air Fryer work?

Air Fryers cook by using hot air that is circulated with a fan and a heating element. That hot air is what cooks the foods quickly and gives it that fried taste, without having to use the deep fryer with added calories and unhealthy fats. 

Not only does the air fryer work fast, but it also uses fewer oils. You don’t need cups or quarts of oils, you typically only need enough to coat your recipe or to coat the air fryer basket if needed. 

If you want to know more about which oils to use, check out this post on the best oils for the air fryer. 

Now that you know what your air fryer can do and how to best use it, let’s jump into these awesome Air Fryer Recipes for Christmas, and let us share some of our holiday favorites.

If you’re looking for an awesome gift for Christmas, we also have our Air Fryer Cookbook on Amazon!
