Small kitchen spaces and limited appliances don’t necessarily mean bad meals. Regardless of your culinary skills or access to ingredients, just about everything can be cooked in an air fryer. 

If you’re looking for easy and unique recipes that can all be made start to finish in an air fryer, you’ll want to keep reading. 

Hard-Boiled Eggs

No stove top, no problem. If you want to make arguably the easiest, healthiest, protein-packed breakfast but can’t boil water, don’t fret. You can easily cook hard-boiled eggs in an air fryer.

You’ll need two things—eggs and an air fryer. First, preheat your air fryer to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Then place your eggs inside for 15 minutes. And that’s just about it. 

Some people transfer their hard-boiled eggs to a bowl of ice water for easier peeling, but that’s up to you. As simple as this recipe is, it’s a nice reminder of the many things you can cook with this one machine. 

Pesto Chicken Wrap

If you’re no longer on a meal plan and are viciously craving an Eagles panini, or just want an easy lunch recipe, this one’s for you. A pesto chicken wrap is the perfect mix of a simple, quick recipe and a delicious, satisfying meal. 

This recipe is straightforward. Take a wrap of your choosing and spread your favorite pesto sauce generously. Then, add tomatoes, mozzarella, and grilled chicken. To make it extra tasty, add more sauce and cheese at the end. All that’s left is to pop it into the air fryer for 8-10 minutes at 200 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Bagel Bites

Three-ingredient bagel bites are absolutely the perfect way to make a standard breakfast food, but simpler and with more protein. On top of being delicious, this recipe is perfect for anyone who’s on the go in the morning and needs a quick and transportable breakfast. 

To make your bagel bites, add flour, Greek yogurt, and baking soda to a bowl and mix until you have a thick, dough-like consistency. Then, roll out your dough, cut out small circles, and add cream cheese to the center of each circle. 

Lastly, form them into balls and roll them in salt, poppy seeds, or everything seasoning. As for the air fryer portion, place them at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes. 

Sweet Potato Chips 

If you’re looking for an extremely quick snack that you can easily throw together after class or along with lunch, these chips might be your best bet. 

All you need to do is slice up a sweet potato to your preferred thickness. Layer your slices between two sheets of parchment paper and press out any liquid. 

Cook them in your air fryer at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes and flip them over halfway through. Lastly, season them however you like or make a side sauce if that’s more your thing. 

Single Serve Banana Peanut Butter Cookie 

Whether you live alone or with other roommates, sometimes it’s nice to make a small sweet treat to enjoy all by yourself. No tempting leftovers or mess to clean up—just a simple dessert. This recipe mixes sweet and savory with chocolate, bananas, and peanut butter. 

You’ll first need one overripe banana, ½ cup of rolled oats, cinnamon, salt, ½ teaspoon of baking powder, ½ tablespoon of maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract, and as many chocolate chips as you please. 

Mix all of those in a bowl, scoop it into a ball, and air fry at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-12 minutes.
