Buy Now1. Season’s Choice Potato Puffs, $1.45 for 32 ounces
There’s no sense in burying the lede: Most of us invested in air fryers so that the fried potatoes we make at home are as golden and crisp as what we get in restaurants. Aldi’s potato puffs are the tater tots of every kid’s (and adult’s) dreams.
2. Casa Mamita’s Beef or Chicken Taquitos, $3.65 for 20- to 22.5 ounces
Oven-baked taquitos never have that crunch that makes the deep-fried taquitos so satisfying. But that’s not the case when you use your air fryer! Pop these in for an easy dinner or snack.
3. Fremont Fish Market Coconut Breaded Butterfly Shrimp, $3.99 for 7 ounces
You didn’t hear it from us, but these coconut-encrusted shrimp rival those at Red Lobster. Toss them into the air fryer and the breading turns crisp and golden.
4. Season’s Choice Hash Brown Patties, $3.29 for 20
Who wouldn’t want crispy hash browns for breakfast? Too bad shredding, seasoning, and skillet-frying them always takes a back burner on busy weekday mornings. Once we spotted these pre-portioned potato patties in Aldi’s freezer, we knew they’d be perfect in the air fryer. (Spoiler: We were right.)
5. Earth Grown Quinoa Crunch Veggie Burger, $3.59 for 12 ounces
Frozen veggie burgers often suffer from a one-dimensional texture. These black bean burgers are not only packed with tasty veggies and flavorful spices, but they also have quinoa that adds crunch and heft. When you air-fry frozen veggie burgers, the outside forms a crispy crust-like texture while the inside softens and warms.
6. Mama Cozzi’s Pizza Kitchen French Bread Pizza, $2.25 for two
Mama Cozzi’s pizzas are some of the very best store-bought pizzas around, and the French bread pizzas are no exception. Air-fry these frozen pizzas so that the exterior crust turns extra crispy, the chewy interior stays soft, and the cheese melts into an irresistibly gooey topping.
7. Breakfast Best French Toast Sticks, $1.59 for 16 ounces
French toast sticks are a staple for busy mornings and after-school snacks. Pop them in the air fryer and the custard-soaked bread gets browned, crisp, and ready for dipping. In a matter of minutes, to boot!
8. Freemont Fish Market Wild Caught Beer Battered Cod Fillets, $5.19 for 13.1 ounces
Look no further than Aldi for the classic pub experience. Beer-battered cod fillets turn golden and crisp in the air fryer — no pot of bubbling oil required. Mix a quick tartar sauce while the fish air-fries, and don’t forget the chips!
9. Mama Cozzi’s Pizza Kitchen Breaded Toasted Ravioli, $3.49 for 16 ounces
Once the TikTok pasta chips went viral, there was no going back. Now we’ve got our eyes set on turning all of our favorite noodles into crispy dippers. First up, these breaded, cheese- or beef-filled breaded ravioli that are perfect for dipping in tangy marinara.
10. Bremer Italian-Style Meatballs, $4.19 for 32 ounces
Frozen meatballs are so good when it comes to adding protein to pasta, snack platters, salads, and lunch boxes. But we bet you didn’t know that you can air-fry them too! The air fryer’s convection heating cooks meatballs quickly while keeping them juicy on the inside. Just give the basket a shake halfway through air frying to make sure the meatballs cook evenly.
