More and more people are figuring out that air fryers can mimic the results of deep fryers without oodles of oil and the risk of kitchen fires. They’re also realizing that everything tastes better when cooked in an air fryer. Heck, we’d air fry our own hand if we could somehow figure out a way to close the basket. (Please don’t try this.) Instead, air fry some of your favorite gameday snacks, including these 20 delicious options. Keep in mind that cooking times and temps will depend on your specific air fryer model, but experimenting is half the fun!Buffalo Cauliflower Bites
Don’t worry, we’ll get into chicken wings later in this slide show. And although those wings are already healthier thanks to the air fryer element, you can take even more guilt off your plate with buffalo cauliflower bites, like these oil-free beauties from Domestic Superhero. The little bit of butter in the buffalo sauce is the least healthy part—unless, like us, you like your bites slathered in chunky blue cheese.
Chicken Wings
There’s no excuse to skip the chicken wings (except a meatless diet, maybe) especially when the frozen kind can be prepared in your air fryer in just 30 minutes at 400 F. (Be sure to turn those little wingies every five minutes.) For fresh wings, try this extra crispy recipe from Natasha’s Kitchen.
Crab Cakes
You can enjoy an iconic Maryland dish—crab cakes—with an air fryer twist. Crab, red peppers, green onion, mayo, breadcrumbs, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Old Bay Seasoning, and 10 minutes at 370 F are all you need for this recipe from My Forking Life. “Crab cakes and football—that’s what Maryland does!”
Crispy Chickpeas
Pretzels, mixed nuts, and chips are classic snacks, but they don’t have the health benefits—or pack the flavor punch—of chickpeas. Chickpeas (a.k.a. Garbanzo beans) contain calcium, magnesium, and fiber, and may even lower your cholesterol and cancer risk, according to WebMD. For Air Fryer settings, we suggest this recipe from Sweet Peas and Saffron, which contains the words “ultra-crispy” (we’re suckers for anything ultra-crispy) and recommends frying for 12-15 minutes at 390 F.
Fried Pickles
All you need are pickles, panko, eggs, and some spices to make these deep-fried disks of deliciousness. You can ditch the fatty fast-food oil and guilt in favor of some simple cooking spray without losing the crispy goodness you know and love. And with a quick 15-minute cook time, you won’t lose the “fast” food aspect, either! Try this recipe from Taste of Home for tips.
Fries
There are two ways you can go with air fryer fries: make fresh, homemade fries, like this version from Sweet C’s Designs (all you need are potatoes, olive oil, and salt & pepper) or, to save time, just use your air fryer to kick frozen fries up a notch. Many frozen brands now include air fryer instructions right on the bag, or you can do a quick Google search. Remember, cooking times can vary, so you may have some very tasty trial and error ahead of you.
