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.

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

The air fryers, that we use at Easter and have in our kitchen are:
- Philips Air Fryer XL (our favourite choice)
- Cosori Air Fryer

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 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 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 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!
I love a good list of Easter recipes but only just got my air fryer so will be trying some of the easier ones.
