Whether you picked one up in the sales, treated yourself to an all-singing, all-dancing 15-in-1 model, or just want to get more use out of your old one, it's hard to escape the hundreds of ways you can use your air fryer these days.

The cost of living crisis has seen purchases of air fryers skyrocket due to the reduced energy costs of running one against a traditional electric cooker, with 40% of adults now owning one.

As air fryers continue to rise in popularity, so too do mouthwatering quick-and-easy recipes to make the most of your new kitchen gadget, and these healthy air fryer recipes will transform the way you eat.

With the ever-expanding offering of air fryers on the market, from Ninja, to Salter and Tefal, brands have found a way to be even more useful in the kitchen, with the introduction of multi-cookers which can include up to 15 settings from air fryer, to slow cooker, to even cooking a whole roast.

But with that many settings, how on earth are you supposed to get the most out of each one? That's where the experts come in.

Are you looking for recipes you can throw together quickly? Or perhaps you're bored of the same old sandwich and want to liven up your lunchtime? Like many of us, maybe your multi-cooker is still in the cupboard because you're just not sure where to start.
