Air Fryer Corned Beef

Making Corned Beef doesn’t get much easier than this! This tender and juicy corned beef made in the air fryer, is ready in about an hour and you only need a few common ingredients!

Get ready for an amazing St. Patrick’s Day Dinner or even just a way to quell those corned beef cravings by making this recipe in the air fryer!

How To Make Air Fryer Corned Beef

First, you’ll need a corned beef brisket. Most of the time when you purchase a corned beef brisket they come with their own pickling spices packet (which is perfect!)

In addition to those two things, you’ll also need apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard.

Start by lining your air fryer basket with foil. Then take the corned beef out of the package. Place it on the foil, setting the seasoning packet to the side.

Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees.

In medium sized bowl mix the mustard and brown sugar together. Add the garlic powder and apple cider vinegar and stir until fully combined. Pour the mixture over top of the corned beef, spreading it evenly.

Finally, sprinkle the pickling season on the top of the beef. Place the corned beef into the air fryer and set the timer for forty minutes.

When the timer goes off, use a spoon to collect the juices at the bottom of the foil and baste the top of the corned beef. You can also add a few teaspoons of water to it to keep it from getting dry.

Set the timer for an additional 15-20 minutes. After it goes off the next time, check the internal temperature of the meat and make sure it’s at 145 degrees or higher.

Remove the corned beef from the air fryer and allow it to rest for about 15 minutes. Then slice the brisket against the grain for nice, tender results!

What Do You Serve With Corned Beef?

Traditionally corned beef is served with cabbage! You can also serve it with sauerkraut. I have a wonderfully easy recipe for Air Fryer Sauerkraut here!

Of course you can also serve it up with any of your favorite vegetables or starches. We love pairing it with these crispy Lyonnaise Potatoes !

What Can I Do With Leftover Corned Beef?

Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for 2-3 days. You can reheat leftovers in the microwave, oven, or right back in the air fryer. Set the air fryer to 375 degrees and heat, after about five minutes check to see if it’s reached your desired temperature.

You can also make a nice breakfast hash, reuben sandwiches, or even reuben sliders with the leftover corned beef. If you like this one check out my recipe for Air Fryer Reuben Sliders here !

Air Fryer Toasted Ravioli

I’ve had the air fryer for about 3-4 months now. I realized this weekend I had yet to make a toasted ravioli in it. So, I’ve whipped up this quick and easy recipe for Air Fryer Toasted Ravioli. You only need 4 ingredients!

Air Fryer Toasted Ravioli

To make these crisp, “fried” ravioli you’ll need frozen ravioli, Italian bread crumbs, milk, and eggs. Also, a dipping sauce is highly encouraged!

Let’s Get Started

Combine one egg and one cup of milk in a bowl. Next, add italian bread crumbs to a separate bowl. I also added some additional seasoning to the bowl – garlic powder, minced onion, and Parmesan cheese.

Line your tray with foil or parchment paper, then spray with non-stick cooking spray.

One at a time, dip a ravioli into the egg mixture – covering it. Then dip it into the bread crumb mixture make sure it is fully coated.

Place it right on to the foil. Leave a little room in between the ravioli. It doesn’t have to be too much, just enough so that they aren’t touching.

Once you’ve finished all of your ravioli or filled your tray (If you’re doing a lot.)

This is where our “secret” step comes in! This step makes the difference in breading that is soggy & falling off and breading that is crisp & perfectly coating it’s ravioli! We’re now going to take the tray of breaded ravioli and place it in the freezer for about half an hour.

At this point you can turn on the air fryer so that it starts to preheat! I set mine at 380 degrees. Once it’s done pre heating place the tray of ravioli in and set the timer for about twenty minutes turning half way through . I flipped them as well so that they would cook evenly on both sides!

Once they are golden brown and the internal temp reaches 165 degrees – they are ready to go!

Optional but, delicious : Sprinkle with a little Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Serve them with marinara sauce and enjoy!

Air Fryer Herb Crusted Pork Chops

I finally purchased an Air Fryer before Christmas. I’ve been so so excited to start cooking with it! Plus, I found these Hatfield Frenched Bone In Pork Chops on sale at my local Acme so, I really felt inspired to make these Air Fryer Herb Crusted Pork Chops.

And I’m so glad I was because these were the most tender pork chops ever, with a crunchy delicious crust at that! This pork is coated with a crunchy herb crust and cooked to perfection in the air fryer!

I started eating Hatfield a few years ago after working on a project with them and ever since they’ve been my go to when buying pork products! Everything I purchase from them ALWAYS turns out so juicy and tender!

I’ve been Air Fryer converted and I’m not going back! I can’t wait for you to try these Air Fryer Herb Crusted Pork Chops for yourself!

Air Fryer Herb Crusted Pork Chops

First, turn on the Air Fryer, I’m using the Instant Pot Vortex Air Fryer so be sure to adjust times or temps to your specific brand of air fryer if need be!

You want it to pre heat to 380 degrees on air fry.

Next, In a large bowl mix the eggs, milk, and mayonaise together. Set aside.


In a separate bowl mix your dry ingredients and herbs (panko, rosemary, sage, thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, parmesan cheese, onion powder, and garlic powder). Set aside.

First, dredge your Pork Chops in the egg mixture, next dip them in the panko herb mixture.


Set each pork chop on your air fryer pan. You can either do all 4 at once by using two pans (you may have to up the cooking time a little) or you can do two pork chops at a time, which is what I did.

Once your Air Fryer is pre heated place your pork chops inside. Set the timer for 28 minutes. Be sure to turn the Pork Chops half way through the timer (flip them and turn pan).

Pork should be cooked to at least 145 degrees, personally I like mine at 160 degrees. You can use a thermometer to see what temperature yours has reached.
Once they are golden brown and cooked thoroughly, they are ready to serve! This time I served these with some easy fries, and zucchini coins but these would also be really fantastic with my Loaded Twice Baked Potatoes & Lemon Garlic Asparagus Spears !
