They get beautifully crisp on the outside, but stay fluffy on the inside.
Air Fryer Asparagus
We love using the air fryer to quickly make a tasty side dish.
This technique creates more surface area on the spuds, which in turn means more crispy bits.

Thinly slicing Brussels sprouts creates a similar texture to shredded cabbage but with a little more crunch.

The key word beingalmost.
Edible flowers are entirely optional, but create an extra pretty presentation.
But the secret ingredient is the 1/4 cup of cream cheese we sneak in there too.

This is our trusted recipe, and it’s complete with smoky flavors from both bacon and smoked ham.
Tart dried cranberries and crunchy, but sweet apples give this side salad tons of great texture and flavor.
It’s not the traditional Southern way, but that doesn’t mean it’s not delicious.
