Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets
These homemade chicken nuggets made in the air fryer come out perfectly crunchy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside in just 15 minutes.
Air Fryer Garlic-Parmesan Potato Wedges
This cooking method, along with a little oil and Parmesan cheese, makes these potato wedges come out nice and crispy. I used garlic powder and Italian seasoning, but your favorite seasonings can be substituted. Add salt if you must, but the Parmesan cheese provides plenty of salt, especially for those of us who are trying to reduce excessive salt in our diets.
