25 Easy and Healthy Air Fryer Recipes
1. Air Fryer Apple Chips
Skip the bag of greasy potato chips and satisfy your craving with apple chips instead. With the Air Fryer, they’ll be just as crispy but a thousand times more nutritious. All you’ll need is to slice the apples thinly with a mandoline and sprinkle them with cinnamon. The Air Fryer will take care of the rest. These chips are on the sweet side, so sweet tooths, this one’s for you. That said, you can sprinkle over a little bit of salt to help balance the flavors.
2. Herbed Air Fryer Potato Wedges
Skip the long lines at McDonald’s and Chick-Fil-A and make these irresistible Air Fryer potato wedges instead. Besides having fewer calories, they’re also more delectable. These wedges are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and sensational in every bite. Each fry is coated with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper, so expect nothing but wonderful flavors.
3. Air Fryer Garlic Lime Shrimp Kabobs (Weight Watchers Zero Points)
Surprised to see kabobs on this list? I’m telling you, with the Air Fryer, there’s nothing you can’t do! Shrimp alone is already full of flavor. But mix it with lime juice, minced garlic, and a bit of salt and pepper, and you’ll brighten it up even more. Thread them on skewers and pop them in the Air Fryer for the easiest Weight Watchers shrimp recipe around. Better still, they’ll be ready in just 8 minutes.
4. Air Fryer Chicken Tenders Recipe: Weight Watchers
The Air Fryer is so good; it makes chicken tenders perfectly crisp without a vat of hot oil. That said, you can’t just throw heavily breaded chicken into the basket. If the coating is too thick, it likely won’t cook properly, and it will stick to the bottom. So, be sure the coating is light and that you use a layer of parchment under the chicken. That way, it will be tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside.
5. Best Ever Air Fryer Grilled Cheese
Grilled cheese is meant to be grilled, right? It’s in the name! But one bite of this Air Fryer grilled cheese, and you’ll never grill it again.

7. Buffalo Chicken Sandwich
This doesn’t sound like a Weight Watchers dish at all, and it sure as hell doesn’t taste like one, either! Surprise your taste buds with the delight that is this buffalo chicken sandwich.

Even if you’re not counting SmartPoints, I still suggest you give this sandwich a try.

Professional chefs may frown upon the idea of cooking steak in the Air Fryer. But if you love steak and are watching your fat intake, this recipe is a game-changer.
