    Can you cook frozen appetizers in the air fryer?

    One of the best things about the air fryer is that you can take many recipes straight from frozen! Sometimes you may need to account for the item being frozen and add a few extra minutes.

    What kind of snacks can you cook in an air fryer?

    There are very little recipes that don't taste good in the air fryer! In addition to this list of air fryer appetizers, I have tons of other air fryer recipes here on my site with breaded chicken breast, buffalo cauliflower, sweet potatoes and mahi mahi being a few of the most popular.
