  Costco appetizers,
  side dishes, and main courses in the air fryer.

No matter if you’re an experienced air fryer user or new to this kitchen gadget, you’ll discover that its widespread use is indeed justified.

Air fryers
assist me in preparing meals swiftly and conveniently, ensuring my food turns out deliciously crisp with significantly reduced oil usage compared to deep-frying.

to get ready using an air fryer.

I frequently prepare my Kirkland Signature chicken wings using an air fryer.

These can be prepared for eating in less than 30 minutes, making them an ideal choice for a party appetizer or a speedy meal on a busy weeknight.

Marinate them prior to air frying or coat them with wing sauce just before serving. Serve alongside a starchy side dish along with a salad or steamed veggies for a simple meal.

Preparing green beans in the air fryer is incredibly easy.

Cooking green beans
typically follows multiple steps which include boiling, submerging them in an icy water bath, followed by frying them in a heated skillet.

Using an air fryer, you can have them prepared in under 10 minutes without needing extra bowls, pots, or pans for cleaning up.

The green beans purchased from Costco arrive pre-cut, cleaned, and prepared for immediate use. Thus, I just need to add some olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper before cooking them in the air fryer for about eight minutes.

Utilize your air fryer to create a tasty garlic spread.

If garlic is your thing, consider roasting a whole head in the air fryer instead. This will make the cloves tender, take on a golden hue, and develop a touch of sweetness alongside a subtle nuttiness.

I enjoy purchasing a 2-pound package of freshly grown Californian garlic from Costco. After removing the tips of the cloves, I add some olive oil over them and cook them in my air fryer for about 35 minutes until they’re roasted.

You could blend the garlic with soft butter to create a delicious garlic spread for your bread.

I create my own crunchy and fulfilling fried ravioli.

You might have come across fried ravioli, commonly known as “toasted ravioli,” listed under the starter options on dining establishment menus.

I enjoy using the Giovanni Rana Three-Cheese Ravioli from Costco to create a comparable dish in my air fryer.

Cook the ravioli for three minutes, followed by dipping them in an egg mixture and coating them with panko breadcrumbs. Coat both sides with oil to ensure they become nicely crisp, then place them in the air fryer for eight to ten minutes.

I prefer serving them with
Rao’s Homemade marinara sauce
, which you can locate in the pasta aisle at Costco.

Chicken drumsticks can steal the show at a quick weeknight dinner that takes only 30 minutes to prepare.

For certain dinner meals, I purchase Kirkland Signature organic chicken drumsticks which arrive in individual packages with roughly five or six pieces each.

To prepare them, I cover the drumsticks with my preferred spices (make sure they’re thawed if you’re using frozen ones) and then place them in the air fryer until done.

That’s prepared in less than 30 minutes.

When they emerge from the air fryer, I coat them with melted butter and parsley to impart a luxurious and shiny look.

If tofu wasn’t your favorite previously, give it a go by crisping it up in an air fryer.

If you have tried tofu before but weren’t fond of it, I recommend air-frying it.

I opt for Nasoya Organic firm tofu, sourced from Costco. Using firm tofu during air frying is crucial as it ensures the tofu remains sturdy through the entire cooking time.

I enjoy soaking the tofu pieces in Kinder’s Teriyaki Sauce – which I get from Costco – prior to putting them in the air fryer for about 18 minutes.

The crunchy tofu can be savored on its own or incorporated into a stir-fry. My preferred method of relishing air-fried tofu is over a bed of rice, mixed with quinoa, veggies, and drizzled with your choice of sauce, making an ideal meal for Meat-free Mondays.

Simply Bare chicken breast pieces make an excellent alternative to another well-known nugget option.

Some recognize Just Bare chicken-breed chunks for their distinctive characteristics.

Cook them in the air fryer at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for eight minutes to achieve a crisp exterior coating while keeping the inside meat succulent and moist.

You could scatter them over a salad, include them in a tortilla for a crispy chicken wrap, or dip them as they are.

Gyoza remain tender inside with a golden, crisp outer layer.

Costco offers a wide range of frozen potstickers and dumplings, often accompanied by dipping sauces.

I prefer cooking them in the air fryer as it gives them crispier edges and a softer bottom.

To ensure your potstickers turn out golden and crisp on all sides, flip them midway through cooking.

Spring rolls packed with vegetables make for an excellent snack when cooked in an air fryer.

The vegetable spring rolls at Royal Asia are the best.

Or opt for snacks since you can warm them up in the air fryer and then dip them into the accompanying soy-ginger sauce.

The outer layer is delicate and crunchy, while the inside includes an assortment of veggies like edamame, jicama, and cabbage.

Preheat your air fryer to 390 degrees Fahrenheit and cook the spring rolls for 10 minutes, flipping them midway through the process.
