Easy Air Fryer Sides That Are A Dinnertime Dream

In the vast world of kitchen gadgets, the continuum of usefulness runs quite the gamut. On one end, you have frequent flyers like a pizza cutter and toaster, and on the other, there's the onion peeler that seemed like a great idea at the time and the corn silk remover you just had to have for the four times a year you buy fresh corn. One kitchen tool that you won't find in cabinet purgatory? The air fryer.

Since they surged in popularity back in 2016, we've broken out the miracle appliance for everything from hard-boiled eggs to chicken tenders. It truly can cook anything (and at half the time of your normal oven and a fraction of the mess of deep- or pan-frying)! Did you know you can actually line your air-fryer basket with aluminum foil for even quicker cleanup? We'd trust our air fryer with just about any recipe, but we especially love the miniature convection oven for its ability to turn out delicious sides on a dime. Here are 12 super-easy air-fryer sides to add to your weeknight repertoire.
