Air Fryer Easter Recipes

If there is a kitchen gadget out there that you could use exclusively for Easter, then it is the Air Fryer.

The air fryer just shouts out EASY EASTER RECIPES. You can use the air fryer for roast dinners, Easter themed food like lamb, or making your favourite Easter baking treats.

Not to mention our love for delicious Easter side dishes such as roast potatoes or delicious air fryer vegetables.

In the Milner house at Easter time, we normally have a roast turkey dinner along with plenty of sides and it comes second to Christmas for enjoying the festive food and enjoying some family time together.

There will usually be hot cross buns for breakfast, then we will eat way too many Easter eggs and do loads of Easter baking and then late afternoon we will enjoy a roast dinner.

If you are looking for new and delicious air fryer Easter recipes, then this is for YOU!

Are Air Fryers Good For Easter?

Absolutely! Just imagine your regular Easter routine and then imagine doing it all in the air fryer instead.

Philips Air Fryer XL (our favourite choice)

We also have a silicone baking pan (well we have two) and they are amazing for avoiding washing up when baking your cakes in the air fryer.

Top 10 Air Fryer Easter Recipes

Let’s start with my air fryer top 10, aka the Easter recipes that you must make and add to your bucket list.

Air Fryer Hot Cross Buns – This is a variation of our very popular air fryer pull apart bread. Instead of standard rolls we are making a pull apart hot cross buns recipe.

Air Fryer Roast Chicken Dinner – This is brilliant, and the concept is one you will love. You cook the full roast chicken dinner in the air fryer basket. Roast potatoes, veggies, pigs in blankets, stuffing and so much more.

Air Fryer Leg Of Lamb – If budget isn’t an issue, splash out at Easter and make a delicious leg of lamb roast dinner in your air fryer oven. OMG I am not a big lamb eater, but I loved this!

Air Fryer Lamb Chops – One of the first Easter recipes that I ever made and so easy too. You can keep it simple and then serve them with a side of roast potatoes.

Air Fryer Roast Potatoes – Talking about roast potatoes, these are the ultimate ones with plenty of rosemary and just a small quantity of extra virgin olive oil.

Air Fryer Easter Rocky Road – This is another option if you want something really easy to make with the kids with the Easter leftovers. You can melt the chocolate in the air fryer too.

Air Fryer Carrot Cake – The best Easter dessert of all time and so easy to make in the air fryer. I couldn’t imagine making it any other way now.

Air Fryer Cupcakes – A great way to make use of the leftover Easter chocolate and to have some fun with the kids at the same time.

Air Fryer Easter Cake – Wow we had fun making this and using up lots of our favourite Easter chocolates. Its amazing to say this started off as a cake sponge cooked in the air fryer.

Air Fryer Egg Bombs – These taste too good to share with the kids! Chocolate eggs such as crème eggs or caramel eggs are wrapped in puff pastry and then air fried for the ultimate treat.

Air Fryer Lamb

As soon as the daffodils start to grow, I am getting excited over all the delicious things that I can cook with spring lamb.

If there is one food to get on your dinner plate via the air fryer it is lamb and here are some great ideas:

Air Fryer Easter Roasts

Whilst on the other side of the pond, excitement is starting for air fryer ham. As well as air fryer lamb, pork, and ham here are a few other roast ideas:

Or treat yourself to an all in one air fryer dinner such as:

Air Fryer Easter Side Dishes

Then once you have your main meat planned, what about some yummy side dishes? Here are a few that we love for our Easter feast.

Air Fryer Easter Brunch

Or if you are looking for some comfort food to start the day instead of hot cross buns here are a few favourites of mine.

Air Fryer Impossible Quiche – Also known as a crustless quiche, the impossible quiche is amazing. Its so easy to make and the leftovers are even better than the first serving.

Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes – Another of my breakfast favourites in the air fryer and perfect for your easter feast. What is not to love about cubed potatoes and bacon?

Air Fryer Crimpits – A fun alternative to grilled cheese and so easy to make in the air fryer. We like using the sandwich thins the most and you will love how delicious they are.

Air Fryer Breakfast Casserole – So good that I make this all year around. It can also be made with your roast leftovers on Easter Monday.

Air Fryer French Toast – Yes you can make your favourite French Toast in the air fryer, and you will love it.

Air Fryer Full English Breakfast – Do it the English way with a full English breakfast in the air fryer. So good and easy to mix and match your favourite ingredients.

Air Fryer Soft Boiled Eggs – Another British classic and perfect served with some soldiers to dip into your dippy eggs. Or make it healthier and serve with veggie sticks or asparagus like I do.

Air Fryer Grilled Cheese – Also known as my favourite lazy brunch and you can load it up with leftover Easter ham.

If you love your sausages and bacon at Easter also try our air fryer sausages and bacon, follow our system for how long to cook sausages in the air fryer, or try air fryer frozen sausages for a last minute fix.

Air Fryer Easter Fun With The Kids

I love to have fun with the kids at Easter and there is always plenty of cake and decorating going on.

Air Fryer Eggs For Decorating – We tried decorating brown eggs and they turned out better than we thought. A reminder that the air fryer is brilliant for boiling those eggs before decorating. Try our air fryer duck eggs, or our air fryer hard boiled eggs.

Air Fryer Galaxy Chocolate Cake – Made with a Galaxy easter egg this is delicious and the Galaxy chocolate ganache is its USP.

Air Fryer Mini Egg Fudge – This is another fun sweet treat to make with the kids. We like this because you’re using the air fryer to melt the chocolate and it makes it even easier to make.

Air Fryer Mini Egg Cookies – Or for some fun with the kids, why not get out the mini eggs and make some mini egg themed cookies. Yummy!
