    Greetings 👋

    I have a familiar story that you may relate to. It is about something that happens to me far more often than I would like to admit.

    I was using my air fryer, and my son said, "You know that's just a convection oven, right? Air fryer is just a new fancy new name for it.". I Googled it and doggone it, he was right! I hate being shown up by a 13-year-old who gets all his information from Youtube, but there it is.  

    I learned that these mini convection ovens work by surrounding foods with hot air to evenly cook every surface. This creates a crispy exterior, much like frying foods in oil except... without the messy oil. It's pure magic, is what it is.  

    ☑️  Benefits of Using an Air Fryer

    • Low-Calorie Cooking- When you don't need to use oil to fry deep fry foods, you can save yourself a lot of calories. You can always opt to spray oil onto your food for a little extra fat and flavor, so you have the best of both worlds.
    • Variety of Uses- You can cook everything from meats to sweets to vegetables in an air fryer. If you can bake it, then you can air fry it.
    • Price- You can buy a good air fryer for about $100, so it is much more cost-effective than convection ovens which cost between $1,500 - $3,000.
    • Size- Air fryers take up about the same amount of counter space as an Instant Pot and are just as useful in cooking foods quickly.  
    • Speed- Foods take between 25%-50% less time than cooking in an oven.
    • Clean-Up- Frying foods in oil is a hot mess. Plus, you have to do something with all that oil that you used. But all you need to do is wipe out the air fryer basket or throw it into the dishwasher.

    💪  Why it's good for Keto

    Air frying is excellent for Keto because you can cook so many different low carb foods quickly. Cooking foods in an air fryer won't lower the carb content, but it will reduce the calories considerably. And if you are a Keto dieter looking to increase your fat intake, just spray the foods with extra coconut oil or brush them with melted butter before air frying.

    ⏲️  How quick are the recipes?  

    Pretty darn quick! Each of these Keto air fryer recipes takes 30 minutes or less, from start to finish. Many of the recipes take less than 10 minutes, though, so you can make them in two shakes of a lamb's tail. And because the time in the air fryer is hands-off, you have time to make sides to go with your mains.  

    🧾  How to Use this Guide

    • This list of 50 quick Keto air fryer recipes can be searched two ways. It just depends on whether you are a visual learner or one who likes to read.    
    • There are 5 sections: Beef, Poultry, Seafood, Pork, and Vegetables. Each section begins with a slideshow of the recipes with links in the title. Just swipe left on your phone or use the arrow buttons on your desktop. You can also choose the recipes from a list beneath the slides. The links are in the recipe titles there too.
    • All the recipes have the total time listed either next to the title or at the end of the description. So you can quickly decide if you have time to make each of the Keto recipes.
