Pasta Chips with Ricotta DIp (Viral Recipe)

I had to jump on this band wagon and give these pasta chips a try! I never in my life thought that making pasta into a chip would be a thing but here we are. 2021 making pasta chips in an air fryer! I gave it a try to share my thoughts. They came out delicious and cripsy. I made a whipped up ricotta dip to eat these chips with. These can easily be eaten with any favorite dip! Check it out!

Pasta Chips with Whipped Ricotta Dip

Ingredients:
12 oz uncooked pasta (any pasta will work but if you plan to dip try and use slightly bigger)
1-2 bsp olive oil
1/4 cup grated Romano cheese
1/2 tsp garlic salt
(Note: you can use any seasoning you like)

Whipped Ricotta

Ingredients:
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
2 tsp Italian Seasoning
2 tsp lemon juice, fresh
salt/pepper to taste
chopped chives, for garnish

Directions: In a medium bowl add in all ingredients for the ricotta dip (minus the chives) and mix well till fully combined. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Cook the pasta in heavily salted water till al dente. Drain the pasta and transfer to a bowl or add back to the pot. Toss pasta with olive, seasoning and grated cheese. Preheat air fryer (note: I have an oven air fryer and mine preheats at 400° for 4 minutes) Add the pasta in a single layer to the rack and place in the air fryer at 400° for 10-13 minutes shaking halfway through. Cook in batches if needed. You are looking for a nice golden color with a perfect crunch. Remove from air fryer and serve with whipped ricotta dip or any dip of choice. (Note: You can also bake these in the oven at 400° for 20-25 minutes.

Note: Cook times may vary based on pasta size and type of air fryer. Keep an eye on the pasta towards the end of the cook time, my 2nd batch I forgot and burnt rather quick! Oops!! 🙂 Use any spices of your choice!

Air Fryer Sausage & Cheese Egg Muffins

Hi everyone! I’m so sorry for the delays with recipes. Life has been BUSY! The new job is keeping me busy. I have recipes to share, but just trying to take some time to disconnect after the work week and enjoy life. I’ll get to post them soon!

Anyways, We all know by now there isn’t much I won’t try in my air fryer. I have been trying some egg recipes. I really am not a fan of eggs or breakfast, so I try and keep it really easy for myself and prep some healthy breakfasts! I must admit, these egg muffins are delicious. You can use any flavor combinations you like! Sausage, bacon, ham, all different cheeses, or veggies!

Give these a try and let me know how you enjoyed them!!

Cheers!

https://www.amazon.com/shop/garlic_and_oliveoil_veins

Directions: In a large measuring cup (4 cups) crack in the eggs. Completely whisk the eggs. Then whisk in the water or milk well. Season eggs with salt and pepper and set aside. Preheat the air fryer. (My oven AF preheats at 400° for 4 minutes) Add silicone muffin cups to the air fryer rack. Add cheese to bottom of the muffin cups and top with some cooked breakfast sausage evenly over the cups. Gently pour in the egg mixture into each muffin cup.

Place in the air fryer 300° for 12-13 minutes. I place mine on the middle rack for first 6 minutes and move to top rack for the rest of the time. Place a tooth pick or knife in the middle to make sure the egg is completely cooked. Let cool slightly and enjoy.

Note: These little bits of goodness are fantastic for meal prepping. I’ve never actually enjoyed them fresh except when I took a bite to try it. Usually I make on Sunday and heat up quickly in the microwave during the week. They come out delicious!

London Broil Quesadilla

I love a recipe I can get 2 meals out of! I’m not a huge left over fan, unless it taste delicious. Well that’s where this recipe came in. I’m going to give you my Air Fryer London Broil recipe as well as how I made the quesadilla in the air fryer as well. Perfectly Quick meal for a busy week night! Better than take out!

London Broil Quesadilla

London Broil Ingredients:
1 London broil, 2 lbs
1 T olive oil
1 t garlic powder
1 t onion powder
1 t steak seasoning
1/2 t salt
1/2 t pepper

London Broil Directions: Preheat air fryer at 400°. Rub the London broil with the oil and season with above seasonings on both sides. Add the London broil to the Air Fryer rack or basket. (Note: I have an air fryer oven with a rack.) Cook the mean at 400° for 13-15 minutes flipping half way. Check the temp with an instant read thermometer. 135° for medium rare and 145° for medium to well. Let the mean rest at least 5-7 minutes before slicing.

Quesadilla Ingredients:
2 medium- large flour tortillas
8-12oz shredded cheese (I used a reduced fat Colby Jack)
olive oil spray

Optional Additions:
onion, diced or sliced
fresh jalapeños
beans, black or refried
bell peppers
chopped cilantro
olives

Serving ingredients:
sour cream
hot sauce
salsa
guacamole

Quesadilla Directions: Thinly slice freshly cooked London broil or left over London broil. Assemble the quesadilla by placing cheese on half the tortilla. Top with the sliced meat and whatever else you are using. Top with more cheese. Fold over the tortilla. Complete with 2nd tortilla. Spray with cooking spray. Place in the air fryer at 400° for 8 minutes, flipping half way. You will need to place something on top of the quesadillas when you first start cooking the quesadilla. The tortilla may fly open before the cheese is melted. Once you flip it over it won’t be needed. I use an oven safe aluminum pan. Cook till your desired crispiness. Remove and serve with your favorite toppings!

Air Fryer London Broil

I love my air fryer. I’ve been experimenting with all different recipes. One I’ve done a few times already is London Broil. London Broil roast is like a big lean steak, that’s how I see it. It’s got very little fat. It’s usually about 12 inches long and 2 inches thick. When it’s cooked properly it can come out delicious. It’s a great lean protein. It’s perfect on it’s own, or used in a salad, quesadilla, tacos you name it!

The meat can get a little tough, so you want to try and cook it to a lower temperature and then watch it from there. Give this London Broil a try and you won’t regret it!

Air Fryer London Broil

1 London broil, 2 lbs

Let the mean rest at least 5-7 minutes before slicing. Serve with horseradish sauce if you’d like and your favorite sides. Great for leftovers!

Corn Casserole Muffins (Air Fryer)

I love to experiment with side dish recipes. These air fryer corn casserole muffins are a healthier and individual alternative to my original corn casserole. These have no butter at all and are made with less of each ingredient. They are delicious and tender. I actually served with chili and it was a perfect side dish.

Give these a try!

Corn Casserole Muffins

Ingredients:
3/4 cup Jiff corn muffin mix
6 T light sour cream
1 egg
15 oz canned corn
3/4 cup + 2 T canned creamed corn

Directions: In a medium bowl mix all the above ingredients till fully incorporated. Evenly add the mixture to 10 silicone cupcake liners. Preheat the air fryer, (mine preheats 400° for 4 minutes.) Add the cupcake liners to the basket or rack and cook at 330° for 15-17 minutes. Using a toothpick or knife, check a muffin to see if it comes out clean. If so, remove from the oven and let rest a few minutes, if the knife isn’t clean place back in the air fryer a few minutes. Enjoy.

Note: I use an air fryer oven. All air fryers are different. This cook temp/time may need to be adjusted to your specific air fryer. Cook time and temp is always trial and error with air fryers. You should check the muffins prior to the 15 minute mark. Maybe at the 10 minute mark.

Air Fryer S’Mores

Yes, You read that right Air Fryer S’mores! This recipe is for s’mores in the air fryer. I decided to give it a try and I’m so glad I did. I was skeptical and I’m a total believer now. Is it 100% like a regular campfire s’more, maybe not…but it’s pretty close. The only thing that’s missing is that fire taste and I haven’t gotten them super charred and dark like I would at a campfire.

Please give this a try and you won’t regret it!

Air Fryer S’Mores

Ingredients:
2 sheets graham crackers
4 large marshmallows (or 2 extra large campfire marshmallows)
2-4 pieces sold chocolate squares

Directions: Preheat the air fryer. Break the graham cracker sheets in half. Add half the graham crackers to the air fryer rack or basket. Top the graham cracker with the pieces of chocolate. I usually only do 1 piece on each, as 2 pieces on each is very sweet. Top chocolate with the marshmallows. (Note: Sometimes I just use the marshmallows vs the chocolate. keeps a little more health conscious, and still delicious.

Add to the air fryer and cook at 400° for about 3-4 minutes. I’d watch them closely and cook to your desired marshmallow doneness. I like mine a bit darker so I let it go until it’s a deep golden brown. Next remove from the air fryer and top with the other halves of the graham crackers and enjoy, grab a napkin!! Use can also use other chocolates to change it up. Like peanut butter cups or toffee bars.

Note: I use an air fryer oven type air fryer. My preheat is 400° for 3 minutes. The marshmallows do puff up some once you cook them.
