The first step in making air-fried deviled eggs is to make "hard-boiled" eggs in the air fryer by cooking them for 17 minutes at 250°F. Once you've cooled the cooked eggs in
ice, then drained, peeled and rinsed them, remove the yolks and prepare the halved whites for another round in the air fryer. A coating of delicious wing-inspired breading — made with panko,
spicy hot wing sauce and beaten eggs — makes the difference for a recipe that kicks things up a notch from standard deviled eggs. While the whites are getting a second stint in the air
fryer, you can mash the yolks with your favorite combination of mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper and spices to fill them when they come out and cool — all golden and crunchy on the
outside. Johnson says she loves serving them at holidays, family gatherings and Sunday brunch with friends — they might become a favorite at your next get-together, too. Sarah Bond 4. CRISP
BLOOMIN' ONION Why should an Australian-themed steakhouse chain have all the petaled-onion fun? With the convenience of an air fryer, you can achieve crispy and flavorful blooming
onions right at home, says recipe developer and nutritionist Sarah Bond of vegetarian recipe website LiveEatLearn.com. Large Vidalia onions, with their mild and sweet taste, work best
with a crispy coating of flour mixed with milk and eggs and spices (garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne). Once the onion has been cut into petals, dredged and
breaded, it only needs about 15 to 20 minutes in the air fryer at 300°F to complete the transformation. Try serving it with a tangy dipping sauce of mayonnaise, creamy horseradish sauce,
ketchup, salt and pepper. 5. CRISPY SPICED CAULIFLOWER This sturdy vegetable gets a lovely golden glow in the air fryer when bathed in olive oil, turmeric, garlic powder, smoked paprika and
Parmesan, says food blogger Farwin Simaak of Love and Other Spices. And while she points to this delicious cauliflower recipes as a favorite, Simaak says the air fryer is a "game
changer" for most vegetables — including broccoli cooked crispy-tender — so you can feel free to experiment. "You can roast vegetables quickly that are tender on the inside and
perfectly crispy and charred on the outside," Simaak says. Sarah Bond 6. CHICKPEAS "Whenever I'm in a dinner pinch, I turn to air fryer chickpeas! They're ready quickly
and can be seasoned to accompany almost any meal," Bond says. She tosses them in salads ("they're like little protein croutons") and uses them as a crunchy topping for
soups, sprinkled over pastas like spaghetti Alfredo and spooned onto flatbread with tzatziki for a chickpea gyro. Bond's recipe couldn't be easier. Just drain a can of chickpeas
(aka garbanzo beans), mix with olive oil and salt, and air-fry about 8 to 12 minutes at 390°F until crispy and lightly browned. Bond suggests seasoning them with a mix of unsweetened
shredded coconut, curry powder and salt or making your own ranch seasoning (½ tsp. dried dill, ½ tsp. dried chives, ½ tsp. garlic powder, ½ tsp. onion powder, ¼ tsp. salt, ¼ tsp. pepper) to
add some pizzazz. 7. KOREAN GLAZED CHICKEN MEATBALLS Anna Vocino, the best-selling author of cookbooks _Eat Happy, Eat Happy Too_ and _Eat Happy Italian_, says meatballs work great in the
air fryer since "the grease and excess fat just drips right off for the perfect texture of the meatball." They're an easy, last-minute party appetizer or for meatball subs.
