Air Fryer Fake-away Lunches
Here's a meal plan I've made if you fancy some fake-away lunches. You can add these to your plans and customise if you want to change the days or swap some recipes!
Air Fryer Beef Empanadas
These air fried beef empanadas are a brilliant shortcut to the classic Latin American favourite. The savoury beef filling is rich and spiced, wrapped in flaky pastry and crisped to perfection in the air fryer. They make a great snack, lunch, or party bite, with far less oil and hassle than pan frying.

Air Fryer Patatas Bravas
These air fryer patatas bravas are my twist on the classic Spanish tapas dish! Crispy potatoes tossed in a smoky tomato sauce, taken up a notch with the addition of sizzling chorizo and sweet caramelised onions. It’s a quick and easy way to turn a simple side into a hearty, flavour-packed dish that’s perfect for sharing. Whether you serve it as part of a tapas spread or as a main with a fried egg on top, this version delivers bold flavour with minimal effort. And no deep-frying in sight.

Air Fryer Spicy Prawn Skewers
Your air fryer might seem like a simple addition to your kitchen, and you might only dust it off and bring it out occasionally, but your air fryer can deliver a whole host of recipes that really pack a punch. And this recipe is certainly no different. This super simple air fryer recipe delivers plump prawns in a fresh and gently spiced marinade. I am always experimenting with different recipes in my air fryer and this prawn skewer taco dish has become a firm favourite in my house. Prawns are really suited to cooking in the air fryer and this is one of my favourite seafood recipes to air fry. The prawns are just so crispy on the outside and juicy and full of flavour inside. Serve your air fryer prawn skewers with tortilla wraps for an easy taco night feast. These flavoursome air-fryer prawn skewers are lightly spiced with paprika and perfect paired with fresh watercress. Taking just ten minutes to prep and another ten minutes to cook, this really is a speedy and convenient mid week meal.
