One little tip – always use avocado, olive oil, coconut oil or ghee cooking spray with your air fryer ingredients.
Why? You know all those fats we’ve been encouraged to eat for a generation? Well, it turns out they’ve been making us sick. There is growing and compelling evidence that Omega-6 rich frying oils like safflower, corn oil, soy oil (and so on) promote inflammation, obesity and diabetes.
Air frying with fats like avocado, olive, coconut, tallow, lard and ghee is a better way to get a junk food kick without the junk!

1. Low Carb Air Fryer Cheesecake
I’m going to start with the best of the bunch. How about a super easy, crust-less cheesecake. Epically indulgent but with the delicious knowledge that there are minimal carbohydrates to spike your insulin. You can put the whole thing together with a hand blender before letting the air fryer do its magical stuff.

9. Air Fryer Brazilian Pineapple
I can remember the first time I had roasted pineapple at my local Brazilian restaurant. That was two years ago but I can still think about it sometimes… When you cook pineapple in your air fryer with brown sugar and butter it turns it into this delicious, light dessert and you will want to make it every night.
OK, this is in no-way low carb, but pineapple contains bromelin, which is good for the lungs, and we all got a pair of them, right?
