Target's 13 Best Snacks To Cook In Your Air Fryer, According To Customers - Tasting Table

"We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. It's probably not surprising that the best Target snacks for the air fryer come from the store's frozen aisle. But not every snack option turns out well. To save you the trial and error, we skipped the worst offenders as well as anything that isn't highly rated by customers or doesn't include air fryer directions on the package."

"If you love a snack that's crispy on the outside but soft on the inside, then this list is for you. Some of these snacks may be familiar to you, as they're classics that we've been making in our ovens or microwaves for years. However, others may be new options or brands you haven't tried before. Since you can make everything here in the air fryer, you won't end up with a soggy microwaved version or have to wait for your oven to preheat before you can get snacking."

"Those interested in a healthier alternative to Totino's Pizza Rolls might want to try Dr. Praeger's Pizza Stars. If you've only tried Dr. Praeger's veggie burgers, you've been missing out on its snack foods. Sure, you could make them in the microwave in mere seconds, but they come out crisp from the air fryer in only about 5 minutes, which is half the time you'd have to cook them in the oven (after it preheats)."

Target's frozen aisle provides the best air-fryer-friendly snacks, with poorly rated items and products lacking air-fryer package directions excluded. Air frying yields crispy exteriors and soft interiors faster than oven cooking and avoids soggy microwave results. Several snacks are familiar classics while others introduce new brands and options. Dr. Praeger's Gluten-Free Pizza Stars offer a healthier pizza-roll alternative with recognizable non-GMO ingredients like mozzarella, cauliflower, zucchini, and navy beans, plus a gluten-free crust. These cook in about five minutes in the air fryer, receive positive kid-friendly ratings higher than Totino's, although a few reviews mention occasional mushiness.
