PIN Air Fryer Artichoke Hearts to try it later!

These amazing Air Fryer Artichoke Hearts are a fun, delicious, and low-carb appetizer that I’m recommending for my Friday Favorites pick this week. And this treat with artichokes is easy to make and perfect for any type of special meal. I promise everyone who likes artichokes will love this easy idea.

And making roasted artichoke hearts couldn’t be easier with the Air Fryer! They’re simply drained, coated with olive oil, seasoned, roasted in the Air Fryer, and topped with coarsely grated Parmesan cheese. You can eat them dipped into something tasty if you like, but truthfully they don’t need a dip to taste great.

Of course, I love artichokes so I’d love this as a side dish for a special dinner too. We used two cans of whole artichoke hearts to make 8 appetizer servings or 4 side dish servings, but you can cut the recipe in half if you don’t want that much. I know canned artichokes are a bit of a budget splurge, but I hope you try this when you’re wanting an extra-special idea for an appetizer!

Pin the Air Fryer Lamb Chops to make them later.

These Air Fryer Lamb Chops are something think about making when those packages of small lamb chops show up at Costco. Every spring I can’t resist buying them, even though they’re a bit of a budget splurge.

I usually cook lamb chops on the grill, but one time I remembered much I love Air Fryer Pork Chops. And the lamb chops from Costco are nice and thick, so I tried cooking them in the Air Fryer. Kara was up for it, although she told me she wasn’t a big fan of lamb.

But when they were done, we both loved how the lamb chops turned out! If you enjoy lamb or are willing to try something new, I recommend cooking some lamb chops in the Air Fryer for a special meal. And this would be a perfect main dish if you’re having a small group for Easter, so I’m reminding you about it as my  Friday Favorites pick this week! I hope you try it.

PIN the recipe for Greek Wings to try them later!

These tasty Greek Air Fryer Wings are an amazing appetizer or main dish that has those Greek Flavors so many people like! I’ve always enjoyed chicken wings as a low-carb appetizer in a restaurant. But I’m not sure I would have tried making them at home until my brother Rand raved about Greek Wings he made to enjoy as a main dish. And I realized wings would be perfect to cook in the Air Fryer and serve with my favorite Whipped Feta Dip.

I cut down and simplified the inspiring recipe to get Greek wings that are flavorful and also easy to make in the Air Fryer. But I want to emphasize, don’t skip the step of marinating the wings to add amazing flavor! We marinated them overnight the first time we tested the recipe and that worked well. But if that isn’t possible, I recommend a minimum of four hours marinating time (and eight hours or more is even better.)

This recipe uses 1 1/2 pounds of wing pieces which made 16-18 individual wings, but if you’re cooking for a crowd it can definitely be doubled. And whether you serve the wings as an appetizer or a main dish, everyone will love this easy recipe that’s extra low in carbs! See tips below for other dips that would be great with the air fryer wings. And I’m reminding you about this fun recipe for cooking wings for my Friday Favorites this week, and I hope you try the recipe soon!

PIN the Air Fryer Pork Chops Recipe to try it later!

Air Fryer Pork Chops is a recipe I decided to try after Kara and I loved using the Air Fryer to make perfect and easy Pork Loin Roast. And we were happy to discover air frying was also an easy way to make pork chops that were definitely a wow!

I divided the leftovers up with Kara like I always do when we cook together. And then I ended up eating my leftover pork chop cold from the fridge the next morning, so you know it was really were tasty! And making pork chops in the Air Fryer couldn’t be easier. If your family likes pork I hope you’ll try this soon for an easy dinner.

Pin the Salmon Tacos Recipe to make them later!

This Salmon Tacos Recipe (with Mexican Slaw) happened after a couple of things aligned to inspire the recipe. First, I had been thinking how great Mr. Tortilla 2 Net Carb Multigrain Tortillas would be for tacos. Second, I had two extra large salmon fillets thawed out in the fridge with no idea for what to make. And third, I happened to have all the ingredients for Spicy Mexican Slaw, which I think is so great for fish tacos.

After I had the idea of combining these ingredients, I was pretty sure the tacos would be amazing, and when I made them with Kara to take the photos we absolutely loved them. We used the Air Fryer to cook the salmon in six minutes, which made salmon tacos so quick and easy for a week-night meal. But I’ll give links to other cooking methods for the salmon if you don’t have an Air Fryer.

And no matter what method you use, this new salmon tacos recipe will be a quick and easy dinner. I’m confident everyone who likes salmon will love this recipe, and If you like fish tacos at all I hope you’ll try it soon!

PIN the Air Fryer Green Beans to make them later!

These Air Fryer Asian Green Beans are a extra-easy fun recipe for cooking green beans! And it’s green bean season for everyone who has a vegetable garden, so I am reminding you about this favorite way to cook green beans for my Friday Favorites pick for this week!

I created this easy delicious recipe for green beans when I was visiting my sister Laurel a few years ago. While I was there I kept telling Laurel about how I love my Cuisinart Convection Air Fryer Toaster Oven. Then we were out shopping and found a good buy on the same model I have, and Laurel took one home!

And when we found green beans in the fridge we experimented and came up with this extra quick and easy way to make tasty green beans loaded with Asian flavors. Laurel and I gobbled them up for a snack!

PIN the Salmon Recipe with Tomato and Olive Relish to try it later!

This Salmon Recipe with Tomato Olive Relish is absolutely delicious; I hope you can tell that from the photo! The recipe started out years ago with Sun-Dried Tomato, Olive, Caper, and Parsley Relish (and if anyone was a fan of that recipe you can find the printer-friendly recipe at that link.) But through the years I stopped using the high-carb sun-dried tomatoes and replaced them with diced fresh tomatoes in the relish.

And although I’m a fan of Grilled Salmon, these days I often make easier Air Fryer Salmon instead. So when it came time to update the photos for this recipe it evolved into the delicious Air Fryer Salmon Recipe you see here, served with a delicious relish that had fresh tomatoes, Kalamata olives (or black olives), green onion, capers, and parsley.

I’ll give you cooking instructions for the grill or the Air Fryer so you can take your pick. You can also cook it on a Stovetop Grill Pan (affiliate link) if that’s what works at your house. We swooned over this when we tested the recipe; hope you try it if you like these ingredients!

PIN the Marinated Chicken Thighs to try it later!

I’m featuring Marinated Chicken Thighs for this week’s Friday Favorites pick, and I’d love this simple recipe! The chicken thighs were so perfect for a quick and easy dinner, and I did really like the way the air fryer crisped up the skin on the chicken! 

But even though I do love the Air Fryer and use it often, I’m not trying to convince you to buy an air fryer if you don’t have one. You can also cook this tasty chicken dinner in the oven if that’s what works for you. Chicken thighs are something that go on sale regularly, so put this idea into your dinner rotation and see what you think!

PIN the Maple Glazed Salmon to try it later!

Years ago I made Maple Glazed Salmon on the grill, and I loved the salmon with a glaze made of sugar-free maple Syrup, lime juice, and Sriracha Sauce. So when we were updating the photos for this salmon recipe, we decided to try the glaze on salmon cooked in the air fryer and in the oven. And the Maple Glazed Salmon was such a success with every method!

And having several options for a cooking method means you can now make this tasty salmon dinner any time of year! And I’m thinking this same sweet and spicy glaze would taste great on other types of fish or even chicken as well. I hope you will try it!

PIN the Greek Salmon to make it later!

This Greek Salmon with Tzatziki is my Friday Favorites pick this week. The Greek Salmon recipe combines my love of salmon with my fondness for Greek flavors into an easy dinner that’s low in carbs and high in protein. And this is such a perfect easy way to cook salmon that I’m guessing you’ll make it over and over for a dinner that feels special but doesn’t take much time.

If it’s cucumber season, you absolutely can’t go wrong with my homemade Tzatziki Sauce for this Greek Salmon recipe! (Pronounced tsah-see-key) When you’re not quite up for making homemade Tzatziki, there are lots of good brands of purchased Tzatziki available.

Or ask if you can buy some Tzatziki at your favorite Greek or Greek-American restaurant! (My favorite Greek-American place sold me a generous dish of Tzatziki for $2.00, which was great time-saver and quite a bargain.)
