After smoking a bowl, a case of the munchies hits me fast. Immediately I go into the kitchen looking for a quick snack, only to find three ingredients: graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows. I loved eating s’mores as a kid when camping, but I don’t have a campfire in my apartment. My only s’mores-making tool is my quick and easy air fryer. And when having a case of the munchies, an air fryer is perfect for quick snacks. Ranging from salty to sweet, here are three tried-and-true air fryer snack recipes that are sure to satisfy your munchie cravings.
Crispy Potato Wedges with Homemade Red Robin Campfire Sauce
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients: 5 small russet potatoes, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper, mayonnaise, barbecue sauce and chipotle powder
If you value savory treats, these potato wedges are meant for you. Begin slicing the potatoes in half lengthwise, creating a wedge shape. Soak your potato wedges in salty ice water for 20 minutes. The salt will add flavor and the water will make the potatoes crispy. After your 20 minutes are up, thoroughly dry the wedges with a paper towel. Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees and place the wedges into a large bowl. Generously sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper and two tablespoons of olive oil. Shake the oil and seasonings around in the bowl to coat the wedges.
Toss the wedges into the air fryer for 15 minutes, and don’t forget to shake them every five minutes so they cook evenly. While the potatoes fry, you can recreate Red Robin’s famous Campfire sauce. To do this, mix one cup of mayonnaise and barbecue sauce together then sprinkle a teaspoon of chipotle powder. Stir it all together and you’ve made a delicious, smokey dipping sauce for your crispy potato wedges!
Cinnamon Apple Crisps
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
This recipe is easy, healthy and satisfying for your sweet tooth. All you need is one apple of any flavor and cinnamon. Slice your apple into thin slices and sprinkle each slice with cinnamon. Minimally overlap the slices in the air fryer and place the metal rack on top to keep the slices from blowing around. Flip the slices every five minutes for ultimate crispiness at 300 degrees until the 15 minutes are up. Enjoy your fried cinnamon apple slices after a morning wake and bake session or as a post workout snack!
Sloppy S’mores
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients: Large Hershey’s chocolate bar, graham crackers and marshmallows
If you’re a fan of chocolate, these sloppy s’mores will please your late night craving for sweets without a campfire. Split your graham crackers and marshmallows in half, then place the marshmallows onto each cracker. Firmly place the sticky marshmallow side onto an empty cracker, and place in the air fryer for five minutes at 390 degrees. After your five minutes are up, remove the crackers and top with two squares of a Hershey’s chocolate bar. The chocolate will begin to melt on top of the warm marshmallow, creating a sloppy and tasty midnight snack!
Instead of running to the market to grab on the go snacks, pull out your air fryer and give one of these recipes a try!
