This recipe is incredibly easy to make. To be honest, I have’t prepared an air fryer dish yet, that wasn’t quick and easy. That is definitely one of the reasons why I love the machine so much.

I frequently use extra-virgin olive oil with my air fryer. I decided to switch it up this time and went with avocado oil. Avocado oil also has a high smoke point, which is great for frying.

I am not a huge baker. Donuts are one the few desserts I love dearly. I typically use a donut mold when I make my own donuts. I will definitely prepare a gluten-free version next using my mold. Check out my Pan Fried Donuts recipe.

Because I typically use a mold, I don’t have a biscuit cutter. I used the scoop from a cannister of powdered protein. It worked perfectly. A great example of how great putting things to use around the house can be.

 Make holes in the biscuit dough, create donuts, and throw them in the air fryer.

You can choose to top these dounts with anything you like!

For extended use, store the donuts in sealable, plastic bags. If you want the donuts to stay crisp, reheat using the air fryer. This will bring back the crunch.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz can of biscuits
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1-2 teaspoons stevia 1/4 cup of table sugar can be substituted
  • cooking oil spray I used avocado oil

Instructions

  1. Lay the biscuits on a flat surface. Use a small circle cookie cutter or a biscuit cutter to cut holes in the middle of the biscuits. I actually used a protein powder scoop 🙂

  2. Spray the air fryer basket with oil.

  3. Place the donuts in the air fryer. Spray the donuts with oil. Do not stack the donuts. Cook in two batches if needed.

  4. Cook for 4 minutes on 360 degrees.

  5. Open the air fryer and flip the donuts. Cook for an additional 4 minutes.

  6. Repeat for the remaining donuts.

  7. Spritz the donuts with additional oil. 

  8. Add the cinnamon and sugar to separate bowls.

  9. Dip the donuts in the cinnamon and sugar. Serve!

Recipe Notes

Adjust the cinnamon and sugar noted above to fit your taste. I do not add refined sugar to food while cooking, so I use stevia. Feel free to add your preferred sugar or sweetener. Taste a donut, and adjust the servings as necessary.

For extended use, store the donuts in sealable, plastic bags. If you want the donuts to stay crisp, reheat using the air fryer. This will bring back the crunch.

So I am back at it again with the air fryer. If you do not own one, why not?! Click the link above and join me on this journey. I will have plenty more air fryer recipes on the agenda this year. Stay tuned.

I LOVE potatoes. I am pretty much a fan of all carbs. Carbs are just so darn comforting!

hashbrowns in an air fryer with chopped vegetables

So of course, I am a huge fan of the breakfast hash browns served by fast-food establishments. These hash browns are unhealthy and loaded with fat, but sheesh they taste so freaking good!

hashbrowns in an air fryer with chopped vegetables

Help me out, air fryer! Let’s take Chick-fil-A as an example. I really hate to call out Chick-fil-A because I love the customer experience they provide. They are always so nice!

But, it has to be done. One serving of hash browns from Chick-fil-A has 240 calories and 13 grams of fat. I am less concerned with the calories and more concerned with the fat.

close up photo of air fryer hash browns

Potatoes do not have much fat. The fat in hash browns lies in the oil or grease used to fry them. Using the air fryer will save 15 grams of fat. All hail, the air fryer.

I added a little flavor to these hash browns with peppers and onions. Feel free to add your favorites! You could also go the extra mile and smother them with cheese if you wish.

That will definitely create truck stop hash browns or also mimic the hash browns you will find in the infamous Waffle House. Using the air fryer still cuts the fat tremendously, even with added cheese.

Air Fryer Loaded Hash Browns

Air Fryer Loaded Hash Browns is a quick and easy vegetarian and vegan breakfast recipe. This dish is loaded with red and green peppers, and onion. This dish is low-calorie and low-fat but does not compromise on the restaurant, local diner quality taste.

Course Breakfast, dinner, lunch
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
soak in water 20 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 russet potatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped green peppers
  • 1/4 cup chopped red peppers
  • 1/4 cup chopped onions
  • 2 garlic cloves chopped
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Grate the potatoes using the largest holes of a cheese grater.

  2. Place the potatoes in a bowl of cold water. Allow the potatoes to soak for 20-25 minutes. Soaking the potatoes in cold water will help remove the starch from the potatoes. This makes them crunchy.

  3. Drain the water from the potatoes and dry them completely using a paper towel.

  4. Place the potatoes in a dry bowl. Add the garlic, paprika, canola oil, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine the ingredients.

  5. Add the potatoes to the air fryer.

  6. Cook for ten minutes on 400 degrees. 

  7. Open the air fryer and shake the potatoes.  Add the chopped peppers and onions. Cook for an additional ten minutes.

  8. Cool before serving.

Recipe Notes

Cook time may vary depending on the air fryer brand that you use. Check in on your hashbrowns after they have cooked for 15 minutes. This will allow you gauge how much additional time (if any) you will need. I like to check this by tasting a small portion to see if the hash browns are crunchy enough, or if they will need additional cook time.

raw sweet potato shredded next to a cheese grater

Throughout the week I am in such a hurry in the mornings. I usually have a grab and go breakfast. I want to make a goal to have a sit-down breakfast on the weekend. 

grated raw sweet potatoes

The air fryer helps to make that a pretty easy task. I love the ingredients in this recipe. I only used a handful, and they are all natural/real-food/plant-based ingredients. This recipe is sure to fit in with your Whole 30 or Paleo regimen….or if you are like me just your plain ole’ healthy lifestyle regimen.

grated sweet potatoes in cold water

I have a few friends who have done Whole 30 and Paleo. They have all loved it for weight loss reasons.

Whole 30 operates under the notion that certain food groups with sugar, dairy, grains, and legumes could have a negative impact on your health. Things like chronic pain, fatigue, skin issues, and a host of others are cited as potential side effects.

sweet potato hash browns in a white bowl

The foods noted above are completely stripped from your diet for 30 days. This allows your body to heal from whatever effects these foods may have caused.

sweet potato hash browns with parsley

The paleo diet follows the principle of eating similar to cavemen. You can eat anything that could be hunt and gathered.

Paleo excludes dairy, legumes, grains, and processed food.

While I do not have experience with these diets, I have done a lot of research over the years about food.

It has been almost four years since the last time I was on an official diet. This is also the last time I was heavily focused on weight loss. Since then, I have adopted a more holistic approach to my lifestyle. I focus more on the health benefits of food and I exercise regularly.

sweet potato hash browns scooped with a fork in a white bowl

Sweet potatoes pack a lot of health benefits. Sweet potatoes are high in antioxidants, can help stabilize blood sugar, enhances immunity, and assists with weight loss.

Did I forget to mention, sweet potatoes are delicious? These hashbrowns are the perfect sweet and savory treat! If sweet and savory isn’t your thing, feel free to exclude the garlic and seasonings. The spice of the cinnamon alone tastes great.

I love fresh ingredients! I also really like colorful food. You may take one look at that recipe card below and run for the hills because the ingredient list looks long. WAIT! A lot of the ingredients are totally optional.

Obviously, omit the things that you do not like. If you are strapped for time and need a recipe with just a handful of ingredients, cut out the items that you aren’t married to! OR….if you love color apps like I do, leave them in. You will love them!

Fold the wrappers diagonally to close. Press firmly on the area with the filling, cup it to secure it in place. Fold in the left and right sides as triangles. Fold the final layer over the top to close. Use the cooking brush to wet the area and secure it in place.

If you have never rolled an egg roll before,  your first one may look like a practice roll. Don’t worry, you will get better with the second one.

The recipe ingredient list does not include jalapenos. I used Trader Joe’s Taco Seasoning for this recipe. It already has a spicy kick to it. Feel free to do as you wish. If you want spice, go for the jalapenos! Add them to the skillet when you add the multi-colored peppers.

This avocado ranch dipping sauce may be the best sauce I have come up with to date. I also love how quick and easy it is to make. Avocado is loaded with monounsaturated fat. That is the GOOD FAT. The avocado actually accounts for a chunk of the calories and fat noted in the macros above. Keep in mind, it’s good for you.  🙂

I often substitute sour cream for plain, non-fat Greek yogurt. It also adds additional protein!

Air Fryer Vegetarian Southwestern Egg Rolls with Avocado Ranch

Air Fryer Vegetarian Southwestern Egg Rolls with Avocado Ranch is a quick and easy healthy recipe that rivals Chili's Southwestern Egg Rolls Recipe. These crispy, crunchy rolls are loaded with black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, red onions, and cilantro. The creamy dipping sauce is amazing!

Course Appetizer, dinner, lunch, Side Dish
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 32 minutes
Servings 8
Calories 265 kcal

Ingredients

  • 1/4 red onion chopped
  • 2-3 garlic cloves chopped
  • 16 egg roll wrappers
  • 1/2 red pepper chopped
  • 1/2 yellow pepper chopped
  • 1/2 orange pepper chopped
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese I used sharp cheddar
  • 8 oz low-sodium black beans (drained)
  • 1 can diced tomatoes and chilis (drained) I used Rotel
  • 1 cup frozen kernel corn
  • 2 teaspoons cilantro chopped
  • 1/2 lime juice of
  • 1/4 packet Taco Seasoning I used Trader Joe's
  • cooking oil
  • cup of water

Avocado Ranch Dip

  • 8 oz sour cream I used fat-free
  • 1 avocado
  • 1/2 packet Hidden Valley Ranch Dip Seasoning

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet on medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  2. Add all of the peppers to the skillet. Mix well. Cook for 1-2 minutes

  3. Add the black beans, corn, tomatoes, and cheese. Cook for 2-3 minutes.

  4. Drizzle the fresh lime juice throughout. Add the cilantro and taco seasoning. Stir.

  5. Lay the egg roll wrappers on a flat surface. Dip a cooking brush in water. Glaze each of the egg roll wrappers with the wet brush along the edges. This will soften the crust and make it easier to roll. 

  6. Use 2 egg rolls for each. I chose to double roll the egg rolls to prevent them from leaking. If the brand of egg roll wrappers you purchased is pretty thick, you may only need one wrapper and no need to double up. 

  7. Load the mixture into each of the wrappers. 

  8. Fold the wrappers diagonally to close. Press firmly on the area with the filling, cup it to secure it in place. Fold in the left and right sides as triangles. Fold the final layer over the top to close. Use the cooking brush to wet the area and secure it in place. Spray each egg roll with cooking oil.

  9. Load the egg rolls into the pan of the Air Fryer. Spray with cooking oil.

  10. Cook for 8 minutes at 380 degrees. Flip the egg rolls. Cook for an additional 4 minutes.  Cool before serving.

Avocado Ranch Dip

  1. Peel the avocado and remove the pit. Mash the avocado in a bowl. I like to use a potato masher.

  2. Add the sour cream and ranch seasoning. Stir well to combine.

Recipe Notes

If this recipe list looks long and overwhelming, trim down some of the ingredients! I love colorful egg rolls, especially for serving while hosting. Feel free to omit the multi-colored peppers if you aren't into them.

If you like really crispy egg rolls, cook them for 4-5 minutes longer than the timing noted above. Use your judgment. 

Taste your avocado ranch dip after preparation. Determine if you feel you need to use the full packet vs half of the packet.

Feel free to add jalapenos to this recipe for added spice! The Trader Joe's Taco Seasoning noted above has a small kick to it.

If you want cheesy egg rolls, add more cheese than what is listed in this recipe. I would recommend adding it to the egg roll after you have loaded in the veggie mixture, right before sealing.

I often substitute sour cream for plain, non-fat Greek yogurt. It also adds additional protein!

First, season the pork chops. You can either use bone-in pork chops or boneless. I opted for boneless because it is my preference and easier to eat.

Dip the pork chops into buttermilk and then coat with flour. Creating a brine using buttermilk will produce crunchy, fried pork chops.

I started cooking regularly when I moved into my own apartment in college. I remember pork chops was one of the first meals I cooked for myself in my new apartment.

I was eating a lot of fried foods back then. This is definitely well before technology advanced into what it is now. Fried foods were so easy to make. This is largely because I grew up in the kitchen watching my mom cook all of our favorite southern-style foods.

If you prefer for your pork chops to be juicy, opt for a lower cook time, such as 12-15 minutes in the Air Fryer.

air fryer pork chops in a white bowl with salad

For really crispy pork chops you can cook them up to 20 minutes.

After testing this recipe a few times, I prefer to cook the pork chops for around 20 minutes. This provides the perfect crunch for me. I pair my pork chops with Louisiana Sauce Hot Sauce or I eat them on toasted bread with mayo as a sandwich.

Ingredients

  • 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
  • 3 tbsp buttermilk I used fat-free
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Seasoning Salt to taste You can also use either a chicken or pork rub. I used McCormick's Montreal Chicken Seasoning
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 Ziploc bag
  • cooking oil spray

Instructions

  1. Wash and pat dry the pork chops.

  2. Season the pork chops with the seasoning salt and pepper.

  3. Drizzle the buttermilk over the pork chops.

  4. Place the pork chops in a Ziploc bag with the flour. Shake to fully coat.

  5. Marinate for 30 minutes. This step is optional. This helps the flour adhere to the pork chops.

  6. Place the pork chops in the air fryer. Stacking them is ok. I prefer to cook two at a time.

  7. Spray the pork chops with cooking oil.

  8. Cook the pork chops for 15 minutes on 380 degrees. Flip the pork chops over to the other side after 10 minutes.

Recipe Notes

If you prefer for your pork chops to be juicy, opt for a lower cook time, such as 12-15 minutes in the Air Fryer.

For really crispy pork chops you can cook them up to 20 minutes.

raw mushrooms stuffed with shredded cheese and cream cheese

Have you ever had to host an event and felt super pressed for time? To be honest, I feel like I am pressed for time every single time I agree to host a gathering in my home. I cook all of the meals, tidy up, take a shower, and then midway through getting dressed someone is always ringing the doorbell.

With Spring on the rise and actually choosing to make its debut this weekend, I have been reminded that parties, kick backs, and hosting duties will soon become more common.

cooked stuffed mushroom with cheese on a white plate

I definitely hibernate some throughout the winter. When the temperatures are deathly cold, I just want to sit in my home, watch Netflix, and sip on a warm beverage. But spring brings something out in me. My mood is much more vibrant and I usually want to entertain guests in my home.

cooked stuffed mushroom with cheese on a white plate 

So, to combat what I mentioned above about running out of time, I decided to brainstorm party-friendly appetizers that can be prepared in 30 minutes or less.

The Air Fryer is the perfect kitchen gadget for these types of recipes. You can bake food in the Air Fryer. I know some of you are already asking, “But why use the Air Fryer, when you can use the oven?”

Two words: NO PREHEATING. With the Air Fryer there is no need to wait for the oven to preheat. With Spring on the rise, summer will be here before you know it as well. Even with the best air conditioning, turning the oven on during the summer months just sucks.

You can save all of the added heat to your home by using the Air Fryer for a lot of recipes.

These stuffed mushrooms use fresh ingredients and definitely rival any version that you can find in the frozen foods section of the grocery store. From start to finish, I was able to whip these up in 15 minutes.

The next time I host an event in my home, I will be ready!

Ingredients

  • 8 oz large fresh mushrooms I used Monterrery
  • 4 oz cream cheese I used reduced-fat
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese shredded
  • 1/8 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/8 cup white cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 teaspoon Worcesteshire sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cut the stem out of the mushroom to prepare it for stuffing. I first chop off the stem, and then make a circular cut around the area where the stem was. Continue to cut until you have removed excess mushroom.
  2. Place the cream cheese in the microwave for 15 seconds to soften.
  3. Combine the cream cheese, all of the shredded cheeses, salt, pepper, and Worcesteshire sauce in a medium bowl. Stir to combine.
  4. Stuff the mushrooms with the cheese mixture.
  5. Place the mushrooms in the Air Fryer for 8 minutes on 370 degrees.
  6. Allow the mushrooms to cool before serving.

Recipe Notes

Temperature results may vary depending on the Air Fryer brand that you use to prepare this recipe. I recommend looking in on the mushrooms after they have cooked for 4-5 minutes to determine how much longer they will need to cook. I like for the cheese to bubble up and I like for a brown crust to form over the cheese. You may need to modify your timing and reduce cook time if this is not your wish.

I LOVE spicy food. I feel like I can say that again. I LOVE spicy food. If you follow my social media accounts you have probably noticed that I am obsessed with drizzling Sriracha on dishes. I order Thai and Vietnamese take out often. Every single meal is spicy.  Spicy food just does something to me.

Not everyone likes spicy. That is understandable. That is actually one of the things that I love about jalapenos. If you remove the seeds from jalapenos, they are not very spicy. It is so much easier to control your mouth temperature when dealing with jalapenos.

With that being said, if you are like me and love the spice, go for it! Add the seeds that you scoop out of the jalapenos back to the cream cheese stuffing. Trust me, you won’t regret it.

I love how quick and easy food cooks on the Air Fryer. I also love the added crunch that it gives the food.

Ingredients

  • 10 fresh jalapenos
  • 6 oz cream cheese I used reduced-fat
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • cooking oil spray

Instructions

  1. Slice the jalapenos in half, vertically, to create 2 halves per jalapeno.

  2. Place the cream cheese in a bowl. Microwave for 15 seconds to soften.

  3. Remove the seeds and the inside of the jalapeno. (Save some of the seeds if you prefer spicy poppers)

  4. Combine the cream cheese, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheese in a bowl. Mix well.

  5. For extra spicy poppers, add some of the seeds as noted above to the cream cheese mixture, and mix well.

  6. Stuff each of the jalapenos with the cream cheese mixture.

  7. Load the poppers into the Air Fryer. Spray the poppers with cooking oil.

  8. Close the Air Fryer. Cook the poppers on 370 degrees for 5 minutes.

  9. Remove from the Air Fryer and cool before serving.

Recipe Notes

Use your judgment to determine how long you want your poppers to cook. If you prefer for your poppers to have a crunch, 5-8 minutes is optimal cook time. For softer jalapenos, cook for 10 minutes.

I did not add any salt and pepper to this recipe because I feel like the bacon provides enough flavor. Feel free to add salt and pepper if you wish.

Step One: Load the pita bread with your favorite sauce. You can use store-bought pizza sauce or store-bought marinara sauce. You can also make your own sauce. Be sure to check out my homemade marinara sauce!

Step Two: Add the pepperoni!

Step Three: Add the shredded cheese. I prefer to purchase my cheese in the deli section by the block. I grate my own cheese. It melts so much better than pre-shredded cheese that you buy from a store that comes in a bag. If you want to keep this recipe quick and easy, you can use pre-shredded cheese. Grating your own cheese is simply an option.

And then, add the pizza to the Air Fryer.

I made these pizzas for dinner after a long day of work. This pizza was perfect because it was so easy to make.

I like for my pizza to have crispy edges. The Air Fryer helps take care of that. The amount of time you leave the pizza in the Air Fryer determines how crispy your pizza crust will be.

Longer time in the Air Fryer will result in a crust that is more brown and crisp.

Feel free to add your desired toppings. Crushed red pepper is one of my favorites.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole wheat pita
  • 2 tbsp pizza sauce or marinara If you don't like thick sauce, you can use 1 tbsp
  • 1/8th cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/8th cup cheddar cheese, shredded If you prefer only mozzarella cheese, omit and use 1/4th cup mozzarella
  • 8 slices pepperoni
  • olive oil spray
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley, optional to garnish the pizza when it has cooled

Instructions

Standard Instructions

  1. Drizzle the sauce on top of the pita bread, then load the pepperoni and shredded cheese on top.

  2. Spray the top of the pizza with olive oil spray.

  3. Place in the Air Fryer for 8 minutes on 400 degrees. Check in on the pizza at the 6-7 minute mark, to ensure it does not overcook to your liking.

  4. Remove the pizza from the Air Fryer. I used a spatula. Cool before serving.

Crispy Crust Instructions

  1. For a more crisp crust, spray one side of the pita bread with the olive oil. Place in the Air Fryer for 4 minutes on 400 degrees. This will allow the pita to fully crisp on one side.

  2. Remove the pita bread from the Air Fryer. Turn the pita over to the side that is less crisp. This should be the side that was face-down in the Air Fryer. 

  3. Drizzle the sauce throughout, then load the pepperoni and shredded cheese on top.

  4. Place the pizza back in the Air Fryer for 3-4 minutes until the cheese has melted. Use your judgment. You may need to allow the pizza to cook for an additional couple of minutes to reach your desired texture.

  5. Remove the pizza from the Air Fryer. I used a spatula. Cool before serving.

Air Fryer Homemade Strawberry Pop Tarts may be my best invention yet! I am sure most of you remember Pop Tarts. Heck, some of you may still eat Pop Tarts, or feed them to your children. I have very fond memories from my childhood that involve Pop Tarts. For some reason, my mom frequently purchased the cinnamon flavored kind. I don’t have anything against cinnamon, but the strawberry flavor tasted so much better to a child!

air fryer strawberry pop tarts on a multi color surface

In the early days, I would pop one in the toaster right before it was time to leave to school. On the mornings I was pressed for time, I recall using the microwave because it only took 15 seconds. This is not the same experience, but it did the trick.

Here is the unfortunate news about Pop Tarts. Pop Tarts have ingredients like corn syrup, fructose, and dextrose (added sugar). The box may brag that they are baked with real fruit, but only 10% of the filling is related to real fruit. They may not be what you want to feed to your children, or consume yourself.

This is why I love this day and age. We can make our own treats at home, and still enjoy them just the same! Let me repeat that again. We can make our own treats at home! I love having the ability to control the ingredients used for treats that I prepared at home.

I made my own frosting for the pop tarts using non-fat, plain Greek yogurt and reduced-fat cream cheese. I am in love with this combination! I have used it in other recipes as well. Be sure to check out my Red Velvet Cupcakes, too!

Air Fryer Homemade Strawberry Pop Tarts

Air Fryer Homemade Strawberry Pop Tarts is a quick and easy healthy recipe with refined sugar-free frosting using reduced-fat cream cheese, vanilla Greek yogurt, and stevia. A kid-friendly recipe that is great for adults, too!

Course Breakfast, Snack
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 6
Calories 274 kcal
Author Stay Snatched

Ingredients

  • 2 refrigerated pie crusts I used Pillsbury
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup low-sugar strawberry preserves I used Smucker's
  • 1/2 cup plain, non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 oz reduced-fat Philadelphia cream cheese
  • 1 tsp sugar sprinkles
  • 1 tsp stevia
  • olive oil or coconut oil spray

Instructions

  1. Lay the pie crust on a flat working surface. I used a bamboo cutting board.

  2. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the 2 pie crusts into 6 rectangles (3 from each pie crust). Each should be fairly long in length as you will fold it over to close the pop tart. 

  3. Add the preserves and cornstarch to a bowl and mix well.

  4. Add a tablespoon of the preserves to the crust. Place the preserves in the upper area of the crust.

  5. Fold each over to close the pop tarts.

  6. Using a fork, make imprints in each of the pop tarts, to create vertical and horizontal lines along the edges.

  7. Place the pop tarts in the Air Fryer. Spray with oil. I prefer to use olive oil.

  8. Cook on 375 degrees for 10 minutes. You may want to check in on the Pop Tarts around 8 minutes to ensure they aren't too crisp for your liking.

  9. Combine the Greek yogurt, cream cheese, and stevia in a bowl to create the frosting.

  10. Allow the Pop Tarts to cool before removing them from the Air Fryer. This is important. If you do not allow them to cool, they may break.

  11. Remove the pop tarts from the Air Fryer. Top each with the frosting. Sprinkle sugar sprinkles throughout.

Recipe Notes

I recommend cooking 2-3 Pop Tarts at a time in the Air Fryer. You can stack them, and they should pull apart just fine once they have fully cooled. However, to ensure presentation, not stacking them works best.

  crispy crunchy crab rangoon on a multi colored surface

If you know me well then you know I am very fond of traditional Asian cuisine. I often frequent a local Vietnamese restaurant a couple of blocks from my house. Yes, I know crab rangoon is NOT an authentic Asian appetizer, but that will not stop me from enjoying it! I make my rounds and enjoy authentic Asian meals a lot. So, I deserve to indulge in this un-authentic treat from time to time!

close up of air fryer crab rangoon

I have become obsessed with my Air Fryer! Growing up, my family ate fried food a lot. My mom fried chicken, pork chops, fish, and other dishes quite a bit. These meals were certainly tasty but obviously are not good for our overall health. Times have changed so much!

We now have a device that can fry food without using all of that grease. That is simply astonishing. As such, you will probably find me in the kitchen every single weekend experimenting with the Air Fryer. I feel like I owe it to my childhood!

A lot of restaurants that serve crab rangoon use imitation crab meat. If you prefer imitation crab meat, substitute that for the lump crab used in this recipe. There is a difference in taste. If you are looking to replicate your favorite, that may be the best option for you.

Air Fryer Crispy Crab Rangoon

Air Fryer Crispy Crab Rangoon is a quick and easy healthy air-fried recipe using wonton wrappers, reduced-fat cream cheese, and jumbo lump crab meat. This crab rangoon is crunchy and filled with flavor.

Course Appetizer
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Author Stay Snatched

Ingredients

  • 4 or 6 oz reduced-fat cream cheese If you prefer really creamy crab rangoon use 6 oz
  • 4 or 6 oz lump crab meat If you prefer your crab rangoon to have more cream cheese and less crab, use 4 oz. Seafood lovers may want to go for 6 oz
  • 2 green onions
  • 21 wonton wrappers
  • 2 garlic cloves chopped
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. If your cream cheese is hard, heat it in the microwave for 20 seconds to soften.

  2. Combine the cream cheese, green onions, crab meat, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic in small bowl. Stir to mix well.

  3. Lay out the wonton wrappers on a working surface. I used a large, bamboo cutting board. Moisten each of the wrappers with water. I use a cooking brush, and brush it along all of the edges. 

  4. Load about a teaspoon and a half of filling onto each wrapper. Be careful not to overfill.

  5. Fold each wrapper diagonally across to form a triangle. From there bring up the two opposite corners toward each other. Don't close the wrapper yet. Bring up the other two opposite sides, pushing out any air. Squeeze each of the edges together.  Be sure to check out the recipe video above for illustration.

  6. Load the crab rangoon into the Air Fryer. 

  7. Spray with oil. I prefer to use olive oil. Coconut oil works well, too.

  8. Place the Air Fryer on 375 degrees. Cook for 10 minutes.

  9. If you piled the crab rangoon on top of each other, swap the rangoon that are on the bottom for the ones at the top. This will allow each to cook evenly.

  10. I have made this recipe and have stacked in all of the crab rangoon and I have made it in two batches. I believe making it in batches works best. If you stack them, you may have a few that are really soft to touch and break apart when you go to flip them over.

  11. Return the batch to the Air Fryer. Cook for an additional 5-8 minutes until they have reached your desired level of golden brown and crisp.

  12. Remove the crab rangoon from the Air Fryer. If you wish, you can coat each with oil (olive, coconut, etc). 

  13.  Serve with your desired dipping sauce. I used Franks Red Hot Sweet Chili.

Recipe Notes

Your cook time may vary depending on the Air Fryer brand that you use. I recommend a temperature of at least 370 degrees. You should cook the crab rangoon until they have reached your desired level of crunchiness. Check in on them while they air fry to be sure the crab rangoon does not overcook.
