Best foods to cook in an air fryer
Zoodles

It may sound odd, but zoodles are actually an ideal air-fryer food.
Zucchini releases a ton of moisture during cooking, so you can quickly wind up with a soggy mess in a pan. In the air fryer, however, all that excess moisture just drips out of the basket, leaving you with perfectly al dente zucchini noodles.

Chicken breasts

The air fryer yields a much juicier chicken breast than either the oven or stovetop.
Due to the compact design of an air fryer, there’s not as much room for the juices to evaporate like they sometimes do in other methods.
Glazed chicken also cooks nicely in an air fryer.
With the high heat and constant airflow of the air fryer, the glaze caramelizes on the chicken, which just takes roast chicken to another level entirely.
Just be careful not to put too much glaze on your chicken, as the excess may drip and spread around your air-fryer chamber.
If you use dry seasoning, be sure it’s rubbed in very well

Bacon

A favored way to cook bacon is actually by using the air fryer.
In an air fryer, your bacon can get crispy without becoming too oily.
Fat drips out of the basket to keep it a bit leaner, and it’s so much less messy and requires less supervision than other cooking methods.

Foods NOT to cook in an air fryer
Broccoli

Although brussels sprouts are air-fryer friendly, broccoli is not.
Broccoli get kind of dust-like in an air fryer.
Broccoli florets do not get super crispy and delicious. Rather, they get very dry and dusty and the experience is like chewing on sandpaper.

Foods NOT to cook in an air fryer
Large roasts/whole chickens

Beyond the obvious question of whether they will fit in the air fryer basket, larger roasts and whole chickens just won’t cook evenly in the air fryer.
The portion closest to the heat source will burn and dry out well before the portion furthest away from the heat source is safe to eat.
Consider cooking a whole chicken in your oven instead.

Foods NOT to cook in an air fryer
Cheese

You would want to avoid putting cheese in an air fryer. A grilled cheese might ooze all over your air fryer.
An air fryer is not actually a fryer, so there isn’t the instant outer crust you would get from actually deep-frying cheese for say something like a mozzarella stick. Instead you’ll get a cheesy mess in your fryer.

Foods NOT to cook in an air fryer
Medium rare burgers

Air frying a burger to perfect medium-rare just isn’t going to happen without a lot of compromise.
Reaching medium-rare doneness doesn’t take long in the air fryer, and the exterior of the burger just won’t have time to brown. If you want a medium-rare burger, you may want to take out your grill.
You can, however, easily use an air fryer to create a well-done burger.

Foods NOT to cook in an air fryer
Fresh greens

Fresh greens, like spinach or kale, are also something you want to avoid putting in an air fryer.
These greens will literally fly all over the place and cook unevenly. Stick to the normal oven if you’re looking for kale chips.

Foods NOT to cook in an air fryer
Over seasoned protein meats and vegetables

Over-seasoning your meats and veggies prior to placing them in the air fryer is another big mistake. An air fryer may not treat your dry rub too kindly.
In general, when you have a food that has a dry surface with seasonings, these seasonings can get blown off by the airflow in an air fryer or will fall through the basket.
