Air Fryer Egg Rolls
Who doesn’t like egg rolls!? They’re such an easy snack to make for most dietary restrictions. Veggie, tofu, meat or seafood can be stuffed into these suckers. Per the usual, I pulled out the air fryer for a healthier take on this dish, but you can bake or oil fry this recipe as well! Get ready to dig in, these are addictive!
Air Fried Empanadas + Creamy Cilantro Dip
I love ordering empanadas at my favorite local Spanish Tapas restaurant during happy hour. They’re perfect as a pre-dinner snack (who doesn’t love snacks?) or as an appetizer for a get together! With plenty of ways to make these, I opted to use pre-made pie dough and my air fryer. You can bake or traditionally fry these up as well! Paired with a yummy, fresh, creamy cilantro dip, these are sure to be a favorite.
Greek Style Dolmades & Tzatziki
Dolmades can be found in cuisines all over the Middle East, but my favorite style is found in Greek cuisine. Stuffed with short grain rice, herbs, onion, garlic and of course, yummy lamb. Paired with my homemade tzatziki, this is one fresh plate! Dolmades is often a serious craving for me, and with so many local Mediterranean spots in my area, I usually just pop out for a bite when I want some. Tonight, I am making them on my own because I like to push myself out of my comfort zone, and I hope you will too! Serve warm and fresh after cooking or nicely chilled the next day; these stuffed grape leaves are truly a delicious labor of love. This is a great recipe for feeding a large party!
Air Fried Coconut Shrimp + Garlic Sriracha Aioli
Fried is the only way I can personally eat seafood, and thanks to the invention of the Air Fryer (seriously guys, you need to get one!) I can now have a healthier version of the fried dishes I love. These toasty shrimp are such a delicious bite sized snack, perfect for a Monday Night Football spread! These sweet little sea morsels are perfectly paired with my homemade, garlicy, spicy aioli; you just can’t go wrong with this dish!
Black Bean Salsa
If you’re a big chips and dip person, this is the dish for you! Colorfully delicious whether served warm or cold, and packed with tons of flavor sure to impress everybody! Add in an ice cold beer or margarita and you’ve got yourself a party!
Shrimp Ceviche
We’ve all been there. it’s too hot to cook, but we’re oh-so-hungry! I too have been on the struggle bus of summer laziness, but I am here to tell you that ceviche is the answer! Easy to prepare ahead of time or let’s be honest, last minute, this dish is perfect for a summer taste bud knock out. Enjoy this citrusy shrimp by the pool or bring it to your next weekend get together. You will definitely be getting asked for more, so make a big batch!
