    Here is a collection of 25+ easy, quick, delicious air fryer appetizers. These air fryer appetizers and snacks are kid-friendly as well. These drooling appetizers are easily made in the air fryer and they are perfect to serve at any party or as sides in any meal as well.

    air fryer appetizers

    Appetizers are really delicious finger foods and snacks. These appetizers are great all around the year. Perfect to serve in any house parties, and gatherings.

    The air fryer has made life so easy. This is a new era of kitchen essentials. It makes almost everything that we can make in the convection oven. It functions as an oven or says more precisely a convection oven. So whatever food we can make in an oven is absolutely possible to make in the air fryer.

    How do the air fryers function?

    Air fryers function like a convection oven. Air fryers have one heating coil and a high-speed fan rotating at high speed. So it makes a continuous heat flow within the air fryer and hence cooking the food evenly and quickly. The compact size also makes cooking quicker.

    If I will have to compare cooking in the air fryer and an oven, Let us see the roasted broccoli recipe in both ways.

    Oven-roasted broccoli - took 20 - 25 minutes

    Air fryer broccoli - took 4 - 5 minutes

    Every air fryer is different. They are different in size and structure too. And that's the reason, you have to set your own timing for each recipe for the first 2 - 3 trials with sharp observation. Any recipe can play the role of basic guidance only that you have to customize as per your air fryer.

    If you are looking for some info related to the usage of foil and butter paper with your air fryers, here is the link for your reference. Read my other vegetarian air fryer recipes.

    Air Fryer Appetizers You Must Try

    Air fryers are my best investments ever. I love it so much. Let me tell you I am an appetizer girl. Yeah I mean I love to have appetizers and make appetizers more than other course meals.

    Baked Potatoes

    Baked potatoes are one of my favorites. These are best as appetizers or even as sides too. Fluffy baked potatoes with crispy skin are my ultimate dish. They may take 40 - 50 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes and also on the air fryers. However, to make it quick you can also nuke them for 5 minutes in the microwave or cook them in an instant pot for 8 - 10 minutes and then air fry for crisping up the potatoes.

    Air Fryer Falafel (Fresh or Frozen)
