5 Air Fryer Recipes That Perfectly Fit American Tastes! Quick, Low-Fat, & Easy with Miraston Air Fryer 🍔

1. Southern-Style Air-Fried Chicken 🍗

📝 Ingredients (Serves 2-3)

• Cooking spray
• 2 cups crushed Ritz crackers (about 50 crackers—crunchier than breadcrumbs!)
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, 1 tsp garlic salt, 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp black pepper, ¼ tsp cumin, ¼ tsp dried sage
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 whole chicken (3-4 lbs), cut into pieces

👩🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and spray the basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. In a shallow bowl, mix the crushed crackers, parsley, and all spices. In another bowl, beat the egg.
3. Dip each chicken piece in the egg, then coat thoroughly with the cracker mixture (press lightly to make the coating stick). Place the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket, then spray the top with a little more cooking spray.
4. Cook for 10 minutes, flip the chicken, spray again, and cook for another 10-20 minutes (until the chicken is golden brown and the juices run clear).
5. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces. Serve with sweet chili sauce—pure satisfaction!

2. Maple-Soy Glazed Air-Fried Salmon 🐟

📝 Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 3 tbsp pure maple syrup, 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (gluten-free option available)
• 1 tbsp sriracha (add more if you love heat), 1 garlic clove, minced
• 4 skinless salmon fillets (6 oz each, about 170g)

👩🍳 Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, soy sauce, sriracha, and minced garlic. Pour the mixture into a resealable bag, add the salmon fillets, and marinate for 20-30 minutes (flip halfway through).
2. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and spray the basket with cooking spray.
3. Remove the salmon from the marinade (save the marinade!) and pat it dry with paper towels. Place the fillets in the air fryer basket (cook in batches if needed—don’t overcrowd).
4. Cook for 7-8 minutes (adjust time if your fillets are thicker—add 1-2 minutes for extra thickness).
5. Meanwhile, pour the saved marinade into a small saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat for 1-2 minutes until it thickens into a glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cooked salmon and sprinkle with sesame seeds for extra flavor!

3. Air-Fried Chicken Fajitas 🌮

📝 Ingredients (Serves 2-4)

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
• 1 red bell pepper + 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 onion, sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper
• Flour or corn tortillas, avocado slices, sour cream (for serving)

👩🍳 Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips, bell peppers, and onion—toss well to coat. Marinate for 10 minutes.
2. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
3. Spread the marinated chicken and veggies in a single layer in the air fryer basket (don’t pile them up—cook in batches if needed).
4. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking (the chicken should be fully cooked, and the veggies should be soft with a little char).
5. Warm the tortillas, then fill them with the air-fried chicken and veggies. Top with avocado slices and sour cream—authentic Mexican flair at home!

4. Garlic-Butter Air-Fried Shrimp 🍤

📝 Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, 1 tsp lemon zest, salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

👩🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and spray the basket with cooking spray.
2. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
3. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss until each shrimp is coated in the garlic-butter mixture. Place the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
4. Cook for 6-8 minutes (until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked—don’t overcook, or they’ll get rubbery!).
5. Drizzle with lemon juice right after taking them out. Serve hot—you’ll be popping them in your mouth nonstop!

5. Hot Honey Air-Fried Brussels Sprouts 🥬

📝 Ingredients (Serves 2)
