5 Air Fryer Snack Ideas You’ll Make On Repeat

If you’re anything like me, your air fryer isn’t just for dinners—it’s your go-to for quick snacks too. Whether you’re working from home, need something for the kids after school, or just want to curb those mid-afternoon cravings, the air fryer is a total game-changer.

 

Why? Because it makes everything faster, healthier, and crispier without loads of oil. These snack ideas are easy, delicious, and way better than reaching for a packet of crisps. Plus, they’re ideal for parties, movie nights, or even as part of a light lunch.

 

Here are five air fryer snacks you’ll want to make over and over again:

Air Fryer Potato Skins

Hate throwing away potato peelings? Here’s a clever way to turn them into something delicious instead! With just a drizzle of oil, a sprinkle of your favourite spices, and a quick blast in the air fryer, you’ll have perfectly crispy potato skins in minutes. They’re crunchy, flavour-packed, and ideal for dipping into salsa, sour cream, or whatever dip you love most. Zero waste, maximum flavour!

If you’ve only ever had gyozas steamed or pan-fried, you’re going to love this twist. Pop them in the air fryer, and they come out perfectly crispy on the outside while staying juicy inside. Serve with a soy dipping sauce or spicy mayo for the ultimate snack or appetiser. Plus, they cook in minutes, so they’re great when hunger strikes and you want something fast.
