I recently added several Ninja appliances to my kitchen—Ninja Foodi, Ninja Foodi Grill and an air fryer—and I’m absolutely loving them. These multi-use appliances save counter space and handle many functions: pressure cooking, air frying, slow cooking, making yogurt, grilling and more. They’re also terrific for reheating food quickly and evenly.

I’ve tested many of my air fryer recipes in these machines—breakfasts, lunches, sides and desserts—and they’ve performed very well. I’ve done the taste-testing so you don’t have to; just pick a recipe and enjoy.
