1. Emeril Lagasse Air Fryer Chicken Recipe: Air Fried Chicken With Pepper Jelly Drizzle
Air fryers always amaze me with their ability to deliver crispy “fried” food with far less oil than deep frying. So, it’s probably no surprise that this air fried chicken with a pepper jelly drizzle is our favorite Emeril Lagasse air fryer chicken recipe.
It works well with wings if you want to make an appetizer or tailgate snack, but adapts equally as well to breasts, thighs, and drumsticks for dinner.
To keep things juicy, you’re going to marinate your chicken in buttermilk, hot sauce, and some herbs and spices. Then, you’ll toss your chicken in some flour and seasonings to get that nice dredge on.
Spray with a light misting of oil and air fry for 30-40 minutes, flipping every 10 minutes. The cooking time is going to vary based on the cut you’re using of course. When it’s golden brown and cooked through, serve it up with a drizzle of pepper jelly for a sweet and tangy twist.
If you make some extras, you can also reheat wings in the air fryer to enjoy the leftovers later on!

2. Emeril Lagasse Air Fryer Steak Recipe: Flank Steak With Chimichurri Sauce
In this tasty Emeril Lagasse air fryer steak, you’ll be marinating a flank steak to make it nice and tender. The good news is that you marinate it in the same chimichurri sauce you serve it with, cutting down on prep time!
A flavorful combination of cilantro, basil, lime, garlic, pepper, and others come together for a true taste sensation.
The steak will cook in your air fryer for around 20 minutes at 400, and you’ll need to flip halfway. Of course, times will vary based on the size of your steak and what level of doneness you prefer.
Once cooked, slice across the grain for super tender meat! Serve with a veggie of your choice and a nice crusty bread or potatoes to soak up that extra chimichurri sauce.

3. Best Emeril Air Fryer 360 Breakfast Recipe: Classic Quiche Lorraine
The classic quiche lorraine gets our pick for the best Emeril air fryer 360 breakfast recipe you should try. First, I just love it because quiche goes easily for breakfast or brunch, making it versatile.
Speaking of versatility, while the classic recipe features ham, onions, and gruyere cheese, it’s pretty easy to tweak. I often swap in bacon or sausage for the meat. Add in some peppers and southwest seasoning, or use steak and provolone for a cheesesteak style.
Anyway, the point is that quiche is a great breakfast choice to make in your air fryer. Once assembled, it only takes about 10 minutes at 400 degrees to cook. Pop any leftovers in the fridge and then reheat them in your air fryer throughout the week!
Just because I love quiche doesn’t mean your air fryer can’t make other great breakfast recipes as well. Take a look at the eggs, bacon, and toast recipe featured in our best Gourmia air fryer recipes for another great option!

4. Best Emeril French Door Air Fryer Recipe: Kicked Up Tuna Melts
Alright hear me out on this one. Tuna melts are another great recipe for your air fryer, and they really shine in the Emeril French door 360 model.
This air fryer has a couple different adjustable racks, allowing you to air fry different things at once. You could, say, air fry some crispy fries or homemade potato chips, and then add your tuna melts in.
The fact that you can make the tuna salad ahead of time really cuts down on prep. When you’re ready, spread it on your bread, top with tomatoes and cheese, and cook for about 10 minutes.
Everything fits nice and neat on the racks without the scrunching and struggle to remove flat items like you get in a round basket fryer. If you’re cooking for the family, you’ll be able to get 6-8 sandwiches in at once!
It’s really no surprise that the air fryer is so great for sandwiches after we saw how easy it was to cook Hot Pockets in the air fryer. After all, they’re just portable pocket sandwiches!
