We didn't expect to fall in love with the air fryer, but once we made "fried" chicken in the trendy countertop appliance, we were hooked. Yes, eliminating the need for oil makes eating healthier a whole lot easier. But it's so much more than a gimmicky kitchen tool. From mains and sides to desserts and snacks, here are some of the most incredible things you can make. All about that air fryer life? So are we. Check out our Ultimate Air Fryer Guide for everything we've learned so far.

Air Fryer Squash

We love the air fryer for most everything, but especially for breaded veggies. The squash (green or yellow works!) gets just as crispy as if it was deep fried, and even more so than baking. It's a great side dish or for dipping in marinara.
