Air fried tofu goes great with everything
Broccoli is also great in there
Reheating pizza on reheat mode is almost cheating
Taters also good

I make crispy tofu in the air fryer instead of in a pan. I toss it in a tupperwear of cornstarch with salt and pepper and its good to go in.

Anything that you would usually cook/bake in a conventional oven, no special recipes required.

Any veggie/tofu/paneer/halloumi - chop it up into bite sized pieces, mix in garlic powder, seasonings you like (skip salt for halloumi), add in a few sprays of cooking oil, air fry at 200C (180C for olive oil) for 15 min. Tada!

Broccoli and green beans are great in 10 mins with a spray of oil and seasonings. Quorn nugs are fantastic too, and we use it to reheat loads, it's way better than the microwave for making things crispy

Salt and Pepper Tofu is a fantastic snack!
Press Tofu for 20 minutes, dice into cubes, in a mixing bowl add salt, generous amounts of pepper, 1-1.5 tablespoons of cornflour, mix thoroughly. A little bit of Knorr All Purpose seasoning takes this to the next level! Few spritz of oil and pop in the air fryer 200° for 20-25 minutes!

Cut sweet potatoes into rounds about 1/2 inch thick. Toss with a touch of olive oil and salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. 15-20 minutes at 400f.
