After much debate and googling and watching YouTube videos and quizzing friends who owned one, I caved and got a Ninja Foodie Air Fryer from Costco. And because it’s from Costco, it’s the mega air fryer and XL “made for large families and entertaining.” LOL. It can air fry two things at once and takes up half of my kitchen island. (I hide it in the pantry when not using.) Now I’m trying to justify this massive new kitchen appliance so I’m googling all the air fryer recipes for beginners.

In the 12 hours since I’ve owned it, I’ve made hashbrowns, burned broccoli, air fryer shrimp, successfully reheated ham, and made sausage. So far, I have a loving relationship with this thing. Now, I’m on the hunt to find easy air fryer recipes for healthy, quick dinners. Here’s info about the one we purchased, plus easy air fryer recipes for beginners.
What is the best air fryer to buy?
We went ALL IN and got a huge air fryer, which I don’t think every family needs, but if you the space – I highly recommend the one we purchased. Plus, I like having the two baskets so you can cook two different things at once.

Here’s what I love about the air fryer v. the oven:
- Cooks faster (no preheating time!)
- Easy to clean
- Food is crispy

I like my wings extra crispy - and lately, I’ve preferred more of a dry seasoning than the sauces. We’ve roasted in the oven and grilled wings, could air fryer wings be even better (and quicker?)
