1. Grilled chicken

Start by marinating your chicken in a healthy marinade for a few hours. Then, place it in the air fryer and cook it until it's golden brown and crispy. The chicken will remain tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. You can also add vegetables for a complete meal option.

2. Sweet potato fries

Sweet potatoes are high in fibre and nutrients, making them a healthy alternative to traditional fries. Slice sweet potatoes, add a little olive oil and cook in the air fryer until crispy.

3. Vegetable skewers

Cut your favourite vegetables into cubes and skewer them. Season them with your favourite spices, place them in the airfryer and cook until they are grilled and tender.

4. Grilled salmon

Salmon is rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, and the airfryer is a great way to cook it without adding fat. Season your salmon with salt and pepper, place it in the airfryer and cook until it's done to your liking.

Mix your favourite ground meat with spices and vegetables, roll them into balls and cook in the airfryer until they are cooked and golden.
