“Is it a biscuit or is it a dessert? Either way, this air fryer recipe is delicious!” Katie Greenward says of her beautiful pink creation. (And there’s a bonus: Greenward says leftover rhubarb syrup can be drizzled over vanilla ice cream or added to cocktails.) Greenward’s recipe shows how great an air fryer can be for baking. (Especially in the summer, when you probably don’t want to. The oven is heating up your house).

When you air-fry the ever-popular cottage cheese crumble, you get these little bombs of deliciousness! Serve these crisp-coated halloumi bites as a party food, or in a salad for lunch. (And good news if gluten isn’t your friend – this recipe comes from gluten-free recipe writer Becky Axel, so it uses gluten-free flour and breadcrumbs).
