Air Fried Keto Recipes

I am LOVING my new air fryer (a Christmas gift this year) and I’ve been experimenting like crazy. I’m super pumped to share these brand new recipes with you!

One of the best things about the air fryer is that it’s simple to setup and once you add all the ingredients you just set it and go about your business, super easy for busy parents.

Prepping Keto Chicken Fajitas Ahead

One of the most time consuming parts of making this dish is just cutting all the vegetables and chicken into bite sized pieces. One tip that has really saved me tons of time is to do this prep work ahead of time! Plus, you allow your chicken and vegetables to marinate in the fridge longer so they are even more flavorful.

Just cut up all the chicken and veggies. Throw them in a bag with the oils and seasoning. Toss them around a few times and let them hang out in the fridge until you are ready to cook them in your air fryer.

I would probably only prep one day ahead to make sure they are still fresh when you cook them.
