Up until this past December, my most-used Christmas present of all time was my trusty Bop It Extreme circa 2002. But despite my long-running love affair with the Hasbro classic, adult me is willing to admit that it has officially been dethroned as the best gift of all time by none other than my air fryer. In the past several months, this gift item has proved to be even more functional and has secured a permanent spot on my countertop. I use it to create mouth-watering entrees, reheat just about everything, and make crispy, delightful masterpieces out of otherwise sad veggies. The possibilities are truly endless, and I like to think I’ve found some of the best air fryer recipes out there.

Whether you have an air fryer that you haven’t touched since that one impulse Amazon purchase or are looking for some new staple recipes to throw into your air fryer rotation, you’re in luck. These 25 air fryer recipes are so delicious, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without them:
