25 Easy and Healthy Air Fryer Recipes

1. Air Fryer Apple Chips

Skip the bag of greasy potato chips and satisfy your craving with apple chips instead.

With the Air Fryer, they’ll be just as crispy but a thousand times more nutritious.

All you’ll need is to slice the apples thinly with a mandoline and sprinkle them with cinnamon. The Air Fryer will take care of the rest.

These chips are on the sweet side, so sweet tooths, this one’s for you. That said, you can sprinkle over a little bit of salt to help balance the flavors.

2. Herbed Air Fryer Potato Wedges

Skip the long lines at McDonald’s and Chick-Fil-A and make these irresistible Air Fryer potato wedges instead. Besides having fewer calories, they’re also more delectable.

These wedges are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and sensational in every bite.

Each fry is coated with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper, so expect nothing but wonderful flavors.

3. Air Fryer Garlic Lime Shrimp Kabobs (Weight Watchers Zero Points)

Surprised to see kabobs on this list? I’m telling you, with the Air Fryer, there’s nothing you can’t do!

Shrimp alone is already full of flavor. But mix it with lime juice, minced garlic, and a bit of salt and pepper, and you’ll brighten it up even more.

Thread them on skewers and pop them in the Air Fryer for the easiest Weight Watchers shrimp recipe around.

Better still, they’ll be ready in just 8 minutes.

4. Air Fryer Chicken Tenders Recipe: Weight Watchers

The Air Fryer is so good; it makes chicken tenders perfectly crisp without a vat of hot oil.

That said, you can’t just throw heavily breaded chicken into the basket. If the coating is too thick, it likely won’t cook properly, and it will stick to the bottom.

So, be sure the coating is light and that you use a layer of parchment under the chicken. That way, it will be tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside.

5. Best Ever Air Fryer Grilled Cheese

Grilled cheese is meant to be grilled, right? It’s in the name!

But one bite of this Air Fryer grilled cheese, and you’ll never grill it again.

In fact, I think the Air Fryer yields much more consistent results than the grill or skillet.

Here, you won’t get burnt or soggy areas, just a toasty sandwich filled with ooey-gooey melted cheese.

6. Perfect Air Fryer Salmon Fillets

Never overcook or undercook salmon again. When it comes to cooking fish fillets, this Air Fryer salmon recipe is your new best friend.

Whether it’s fresh or straight from the freezer, you don’t have to worry – it’ll turn out amazing no matter what.

This recipe also gives directions for a yogurt dill sauce because nothing goes better with salmon than a creamy dip.

7. Buffalo Chicken Sandwich

This doesn’t sound like a Weight Watchers dish at all, and it sure as hell doesn’t taste like one, either!

Surprise your taste buds with the delight that is this buffalo chicken sandwich. 

From the hot and tart buffalo chicken and creamy mayo dressing to the crunchy lettuce and toasted buns, this sandwich is the stuff of legends.

Even if you’re not counting SmartPoints, I still suggest you give this sandwich a try.

8. Easy Air Fryer Steak

Professional chefs may frown upon the idea of cooking steak in the Air Fryer. But if you love steak and are watching your fat intake, this recipe is a game-changer.

I was pleasantly surprised by how this recipe turned out. Honestly, I was expecting the steak to be dry and tough, but it was the complete opposite — very tender and moist.

9. The Best Air Fryer Whole Chicken

Why buy rotisserie chicken when you can whip one up in the Air Fryer? Yes, you can cook an entire chicken in this versatile kitchen appliance.

And mind you, this recipe doesn’t just create a mediocre chicken dish, but one that is juicy and tender with extra crispy skin.

Trust me; this Weight Watchers chicken will be perfectly cooked 100% of the time.

10. Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Breast

I’m not always a fan of chicken breast because it tends to dry out. But when it’s all I have left in the freezer, I know exactly what to do: dredge it in breading and pop it into the Air Fryer.

I love this technique because it turns the often overlooked meat into a highly addictive treat! I can eat fried breaded chicken breast all day.

11. Turkey Breast Tenderloin in Air Fryer

If you’re hosting a small Thanksgiving celebration, there’s no need to cook a whole bird. Instead, just Air Fry some turkey breast, serve it with a spread of side dishes, and call it a day.

Delicious, nutritious, easy to make, and done in no time: that’s what I call an ideal holiday dish!

Tilapia fillets are marinated with an aromatic blend of soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, and spices and seasonings, giving it a wonderfully complex flavor profile.

The fish may be the main attraction here, but there is a wide array of whole grains and vegetables you can add to your bowl.

From leafy greens and crunchy veggies to hearty brown rice and quinoa, the sky’s the limit.

13. Air Fryer Apple Fritters 

Would you believe me if I said you could make a batch of crispy, fluffy apple fritters right in the Air Fryer? It’s true!

And there’s no hot oil required for this Weight Watchers dessert.

Don’t worry; this recipe won’t ask you to make yeasted dough from scratch. It uses the simplified flour and baking powder method instead.

14. Healthy Air Fryer Cod Fillets

Whitefish + lemon + salt and pepper = seafood heaven. Add the Air Fryer to the equation, and this phenomenal dish is suddenly much easier to make.

You won’t miss the heavy breading one bit with this cod recipe. Instead, it’s simple, clean, and perfect with everything from cauliflower rice to sweet potato fries.

I’m happy to report that these carrot fries are pretty delightful.

I love the combination of maple syrup and cinnamon coating the carrot sticks – they make the sweetness of the veggie really pop.

I’m crazy about the textural contrast, as well. Crunchy on the outside, slightly tender on the inside – that’s the perfect bite, right there.

18. Air Fryer Asparagus

Looking for something light and crunchy to complement your protein-heavy meal? This Air Fryer asparagus goes wonderfully well with grilled fish, roasted chicken, and steak.

It may be a humble dish, but you’ll be surprised at how much it can transform a meal.

19. Air Fryer Broccoli

There’s a simple way to turn these little trees into a lovely side dish even the kids will love: this recipe.

Thanks to the salt, garlic powder, and pepper, this broccoli is crunchy and loaded with incredible flavor.
