1. Air Fryer Orange Rolls

Are they considered breakfast or dessert? I don’t care either way, all I know is orange rolls are delicious, especially in a GoWISE USA air fryer.

This recipe is such an easy way to get started with your new air fryer because it uses pre-made canned orange rolls (such as the popular Pillsbury brand).

If you’re not familiar with orange rolls, they’re basically a cinnamon roll. Instead of the classic cream cheese frosting, though, they come with a vibrant, citrusy orange frosting instead.

Not into orange? This recipe works with all other variations as well. Try out lemon, strawberry, pumpkin spice, or even just the classic cinnamon rolls.

They’re ready in only about 7 minutes, which is less time than it takes to heat up the range oven. Plus, it keeps the house way cooler, so you can get that cinnamon bun fix even in the summertime.

Pair them with Frozen Sausage Patties in the Air Fryer for a complete breakfast. You could even add an egg and make a sweet and savory sandwich with cinnamon buns!

If you’re interested, I also made Pillsbury Orange Rolls in the air fryer, and they were deliciously easy to make in about 10 minutes!

2. GoWISE Air Fryer Recipe for French Fries

One of the best things you can make in any air fryer are french fries. This recipe for french fries in the GoWISE USA air fryer is the perfect way to get started.

Whether you like shoestring, crinkle, or waffle fries, your air fryer can tackle them all. They’ll be golden brown and crispy on the outside, while the inside features hot, perfectly soft potatoes.

Season them with classic salt, or go crazy with any flavors you like. I’m partial to barbecue, but there are lots of other fry seasonings out there to choose from.

Starting with frozen french fries cuts the cooking time down to only 10-15 minutes, depending on the size and cut of fries you’re using. However, you can swap in fresh fries and they’ll be ready in around 30 minutes. I just think frozen are far easier to work with!

Since you won’t need much (if any) oil, these fries are a much healthier alternative to fast food, so you can feel better about making them more often.

Your air fryer is great for other kinds of fries as well, if you’re not into plain potatoes. Try out sweet potatoes, or even these Air Fryer Butternut Squash Fries for some variation.

Then, grab the ketchup and get a full look at the GoWISE air fryer recipe for french fries here.

3. Copycat Panda Express Crab Rangoon

Your favorite takeout appetizer is now easy to replicate at home thanks to these copycat Panda Express crab rangoons in your GoWISE USA air fryer.

Just 6 ingredients (including crab and cream cheese of course) are wrapped in a wonton wrapper. Your air fryer does the perfect job of getting things crispy, and it takes less than 10 minutes!

There is far less oil involved than deep frying, so you can feel better about splurging more often than the drive thru option.

I like to roll them up ahead of time and then just quickly cook them when I’m ready. It saves a lot of time when entertaining guests and still makes a crowd-pleasing appetizer. Now, that’s win-win!

Of course, you can cut down even more time when you start with pre-made ones, like these Air Fryer Frozen Crab Rangoons.

Making your own is nice as well though, since you can tweak the ingredients just the way you like them. More onion and less cream cheese? Can do!

Get your wrappers ready and check out the full recipe for copycat Panda Express crab rangoon in your GoWISE air fryer here.

4. GoWISE Air Fryer Recipe Chicken Wings (Cajun)

One of the foods that air fryers really shine with are chicken wings. This GoWISE air fryer recipe for cajun chicken wings will show you just how tasty they can really be!

With just 3 ingredients and about 20 minutes of cooking time, this is an easy appetizer you can throw together quickly! They’re perfect for game day or anytime you have a craving for juicy, crispy chicken wings.

Want sauce? Feel free to add your own if you like the saucy outside instead of the dry rub. If Cajun spice is too hot, you can swap it out for a different dry rub, like barbecue, lemon pepper, or other favorites.

Feeling boneless instead? Make some great Frozen Chicken Tenders in the Air Fryer instead and load up on your favorite dippings sauces. Alternatively, make both varieties so everyone gets to pick their favorites.

5. Asparagus, Pancetta, and Puff Pastry Bundles

These flaky asparagus, pancetta, and puff pastry bundles are perfect for your GoWISE USA air fryer.

These bundles are quick to prepare and even quicker to cook! They’re ready in under 10 minutes. The salty pancetta and cheese pairs so well with the flaky pastry and woody asparagus. If you like, you can even top with some hollandaise for a luxurious finish.

6. GoWISE Air Fryer Steak Recipe for Filet Mignon

Never worry about messing up that great cut of steak when you cook it in the air fryer!  That’s right, this GoWISE air fryer steak recipe will give you a perfect filet mignon for that fancy dinner right at home.

They’re wrapped in bacon and seasoned simply with garlic, salt, and your favorite steak sauce. Plus, it works well with both fresh and defrosted steaks, so you can use up that gift pack that’s been taking up space in the freezer!

Of course, you can change up the seasonings and sauces to anything you like on yours. I do love a good steak seasoning and an au poivre sauce, myself.

The steaks are ready to eat in less than 20 minutes, though the particular cooking time will depend on exactly how done you like your steaks. That’s convenient enough for a week night! Since there’s no firing up the grill, you can make them year round as well!

Pair with a classic steakhouse side, like this Air Fryer Baked Potato in Foil for a complete meal.  I like to use leftover bacon from the recipe to turn it into a loaded baked potato!

Anyhow, it only takes about 20 minutes to cook them to perfection, and you’ve got a tasty and lower-carb version of a classic Italian meal.

I like to serve them after enjoying some Air Fryer Frozen Toasted Ravioli as an appetizer, but they’re great on their own as well.

8. GoWISE Air Fryer Fried Chicken (Gluten Free)

Make some GoWISE air fryer fried chicken for a crispy, juicy version of the Southern classic with far less oil!

While this recipe is for gluten free fried chicken, you can also swap in regular flour and breadcrumbs in place of the cornmeal. That said, the cornmeal breading is incredibly delicious, so whether you’re gluten sensitive or not it’s still worth trying!

If you love the cornmeal style of breading, I also suggest checking out Air Fryer Catfish Nuggets which use a similar breading and are great when you’re hankering for a fried fish dinner!

The fried chicken is seasoned with a variety of spices and a hint of lemon to make sure it’s a flavor explosion when you dig in. However, if there’s something in the mix you don’t like, you can adjust it to your own preferences!

Prep time included, it only takes about 30 minutes to get this juicy breaded chicken breast on the table, making it an easy weeknight meal as well!

Toasted coconut is also great for salads, ice cream, pancakes or waffles, in chutney or curry, and even on top of a cake.

Whether you go sweet or savory, there are tons of uses for coconut. Plus, you can toast the flakes in under 5 minutes! That’s faster than heating up the oven and more even in terms of the toasting you’ll get.

Feel free to add in some seasonings as well to truly make them just the way you want them!

11. Air Fryer Crab Cakes With Remoulade Sauce

Lump crabmeat is mixed with peppers, onions, and just enough breadcrumbs to hold it together. Bind it with mayonnaise and of course Old Bay to make the perfect crab cake.

Pair your sweet grilled peaches with a scoop of ice cream for dessert, or top up some french toast with them for a tasty breakfast.

Swap out the cinnamon and sugar for balsamic and honey, and you’ve got grilled peaches ready for savory recipes instead.  Serve them on bruschetta, or add them to a nice salad with fresh cheese and balsamic vinaigrette!

GoWISE Air Fryer Cooking FAQs

Can You Use Foil in a GoWISE Air Fryer?

Yes, you can use foil in a GoWISE air fryer. Just make sure to only cover a portion of the basket or rack so you don’t block air flow.

The best practice is to wrap the food in the foil before placing it in the basket. The weight of the food will prevent the foil from flying into the heating element, as well as only blocking part of the basket.

Can I Cook Bacon in the GoWISE Air Fryer?

Yes, you can cook bacon in the GoWISE air fryer.  You’ll want to add a piece of bread to the bottom of the basket or try to absorb grease, which should help mitigate smoking.

Alternatively, you can carefully tip out the hot grease when you pause to flip your bacon.

Can You Hard Boil Eggs in a GoWISE USA Air Fryer?

Yes, you can hard boil eggs in a GoWISE USA air fryer. They generally take 12-15 minutes at 270°F. The actual time will vary based on the size of the eggs and your specific air fryer model.

It’s always recommended to do a test batch with one egg to check results before you cook an entire dozen.

Can You Use Parchment Paper in a GoWISE Air Fryer?

Yes, you can use parchment paper in a GoWISE air fryer. Like foil you don’t want to line the entire basket and block air flow. Use a piece cut to fit the size of the basket or tray for best results.

Make sure to place enough food on the parchment to hold it down. If the paper floats up into the heating element, it may catch on fire.
