My Review:
Healthy Air Fryer Cookbook provides 100 recipes for cooking in an air fryer, from traditional fried foods like donuts and french fries to baked goods like brownies to breakfast treats like granola and French toast. Many recipes include animal products (meats, dairy, cheese, eggs), gluten, or other foods people commonly avoid. The healthy aspect was that the recipes often used whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and "healthy" oils like olive oil or canola oil (and in lesser amounts than with frying).

The ingredients are common enough that you can find them at a grocery store, and many recipes used only a few ingredients. The recipe steps were simple enough to follow, especially if you're used to cooking. I've made a few of the recipes and enjoyed them. Overall, I'd recommend this book those who own an air fryer.
