Notes

  • Air Fryer Parmesan Chicken Tenders.
  • Air Fryer Green Beans.
  • Air Fryer Zucchini Fries
  • Homemade Air Fryer Tater Tots
  • Air Fryer Mexican Corn on the Cob.
  • Air Fryer Plantains
  • Freshly shredded cheese melts more evenly.
  • Sharp cheddar cheese is most common but use your favorite cheese.
  • This recipe is perfect for using up leftover macaroni.
  • Be sure to use an oven safe dish that will fit into the air fryer basket.
  • Stir the Air Fryer Macaroni and Cheese at least twice during cooking so you avoid ending up with a burnt top.
  • When mixing make sure to scrape the bottom of the pan so nothing sticks.
  • Test the mac and cheese when cook time is finished, and if needed air fry for a couple more minutes.
  • Sprinkle with more shredded cheddar cheese before serving. You can never have too much cheese.
  • Serve immediately with a lovely green salad to make it a more substantial meal.
  • Air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model. I recommend starting with less cooking time, checking food for doneness, and then adding more time as needed.
