    Quick & easy whole30 air fryer dinner recipes!

    When you're committed to your Whole30 diet plan, you want delicious and healthy ways to prepare your meals quickly without additional fuss. Air fryers are a countertop appliance that are ideal for helping with that task.

    Cooking with an air fryer means you use less oil due than deep frying to the rapid circulation of hot air that's used to cook the food. And with high heat, air fryers can do the work of a grill or oven as well as a deep fryer but without all the hassle and mess.

    You'll find Whole30 recipes for seafood, potato fries and wedges, chicken tenders, steak, pork chops and tenderloin, and even how to roast a whole chicken in this list. Vegetables such as cauliflower, asparagus, kale and root veggies are easily cooked in the air fryer, too.
