Air Fryer Loaded Greek Fries
Air-fried french fries loaded with Greek flavors. These are great on their own but also pair nicely with lamb, steak, or chicken. Cheese is a must for loaded fries but since feta doesn't melt, I incorporated it into the tzatziki sauce.
Vegetarian Black Bean Burritos
This is one of our favorite summer dinners - a black bean vegetarian burrito. Full of flavor and good for you too! Serve on flour or corn tortillas with cheese, sour cream or yogurt, tomatoes, and whatever burrito toppings you like!
Meatless Burgers
Vegetarian or not, you'll love this moist, meatless burger. This recipe allows for a lot of room to play. Make it as mild or spicy as you like. Try adding other spices or peppers to make it your own! Sauteed bell peppers add extra sweetness and flavor, chopped jalapeno adds more heat! Serve on toasted hamburger buns with desired toppings.
