What better way to celebrate than with a series of comforting seasonal air fryer recipes? The best air fryers can be used for more than just quick meals. They're also perfect for creating fall dishes that capture the essence of the season.
All of the recipes I've chosen for this fall recipe roundup are simple and require very little effort. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a culinary novice, there should be something here for you to enjoy. Plus, these recipes are perfect for family gatherings, weekend brunches, or just indulging in the flavors of fall.
1. air fryer pumpkin pie baked oats
This pumpkin pie baked oats recipe is the perfect blend of comfort and protein. Combining the cake-like consistency of baked oats with the seasonal flavors of pumpkin and spices, this recipe has quickly become a fall favorite of mine.
They're easier to make than regular pumpkin pie and high in protein, making them not only delicious, but a nutritious breakfast option or perfect for pre- or post-workout.
2. air fryer candied yams
This Air Fryer Candied Yam recipe takes the unassuming root vegetable and elevates it to the perfect side dish for a fall party or holiday dinner.
Coated with butter, brown sugar, and spices, these yams are delicious when cooked in an air fryer, as the dish is crispy on the outside and tender and sweet on the inside.
Using an air fryer not only speeds up the cooking process, but it also gives the yams a caramelized texture without the need for frying. If you can't get yams or don't like them, you can use sweet potatoes instead.
3. cheesy air fried pecan squash
While looking for comfort food recipes, I stumbled upon this cheesy air fryer filled pecan pumpkin dish. It turns this versatile veggie into the ultimate food for cold, dark nights by filling it with winter veggies and sausage, then sprinkling cottage cheese on top.
It's filling enough to serve as a main meal or as a side dish. Plus, one pecan squash serves two, so it's a great dish when you're on a budget.
4. air fryer macaroni and cheese balls
Macaroni and cheese is a classic comfort food, but what if you could turn its gooey, cheesy goodness into a portable, bite-sized snack? Enter these air fryer macaroni and cheese balls.
They require a little more time and effort than the other recipes on this list, but they're still relatively simple. We just recommend that you make the mixture the day before you plan to enjoy the balls, as they'll need to keep in the fridge for a while.
The savory, buttery center pairs well with the crunchy exterior and is perfect for parties, game day, or any drink you need a pick-me-up, so it's worth the effort.
5. air fryer cornbread
Cornbread is one of those classic comfort foods that goes with almost anything. It can be sweet or savory, moist or crumbly, and can be baked, steamed, and now air fried. With this recipe, you can make cornbread from scratch in as little as half an hour.
The basic ingredients of cornbread include cornmeal, flour, leavening agents such as baking powder or baking soda, eggs, and liquids such as milk or buttermilk. You can then add flavor with sugar, cheese, jalapeños, or many other ingredients.
