This air-fryer meatloaf recipe has the classic flavors of Worcestershire sauce and onion, with a ketchup coating on top. 06 of 18 Air-Fryer Apples View Recipe Jacob Fox These air-fryer apples are warm and tender, with cinnamon and orange zest adding subtle spice and flavor.

Ground sumac adds a nice tang to the spice mix, but paprika can be used in its place. 09 of 18 Air-Fryer Turkey Stuffed Peppers View Recipe Stuffed peppers are a classic family meal--and they're fun to eat, too.

A 5- or 6-quart air fryer fits two chicken breasts perfectly to get that signature crispy crust. (A smaller air fryer will work too, but you may have to overlap the breasts a little.) 14 of 18 Air-Fryer Spaghetti Squash View Recipe Jacob Fox This simple air-fryer spaghetti squash takes on a nice roasted flavor from the air fryer. You can enjoy it plain or dress it up with your favorite sauce or grated cheese. 15 of 18 Air-Fryer Sweet Potato Fries View Recipe Air-fried sweet potato fries are crispy, tender and delicately sweet. They're also made with less fat than traditional fries, so they're a healthier option when you're craving crunchy spuds. If the cinnamon-pepper spice is too intense, try thyme, oregano, paprika or garlic instead. 16 of 18 Air-Fryer Empanadas View Recipe Jacob Fox These air-fryer empanadas cook up golden-crisp in the air fryer. The simple filling of peppers and ground beef pairs beautifully with bright and herby chimichurri sauce. 17 of 18 Air-Fryer Beets with Feta View Recipe Jacob Fox This air-fryer beets with feta recipe is a great way to enjoy beets. It's super easy to throw together, and it's just as good eaten cold as part of a salad as it is warm on its own. 18 of 18 Air-Fryer Sweet Potato Chips View Recipe Thinly sliced sweet potatoes fry to a crispy crunch in the air fryer.
