In addition to the chain’s bevy of chocolate finds, array of truffle items, and litany of healthy options, there are also dozens of drool-worthy appetizers to choose from. Per a recent post on the Trader Joe’s website, some of these appetizers, which are often microwaved, can be made in the air fryer, and may even taste better once you get the popular kitchen appliance involved. According to the Trader Joe’s experts, three apps that really shine with a little help from this versatile gadget are the Black Bean & Cheese Taquitos, Parmesan Pastry Pups, and Organic Veggie Bites. What’s more? Since these eats are bite-sized, the TJ’s pros note that you can cook all three of ’em in the air fryer at the same time. Translation: Preparing for your next gathering—a Super Bowl shindig, perhaps?—just got a lot easier. All you need to do is spray some oil in the basket, place four to six of each appetizer inside, leaving space between each one so they can get nice and crispy, and set the temperature to 400 degrees. Then, set the timer for 10 minutes, but pause the air fryer about halfway through so you can give your apps a little shake. And that’s it! If you’re not a fan of the below appetizers, Trader Joe’s shoppers also note that the customer favorite Mandarin Orange Chicken can be made in an air fryer, as can the chain’s Buffalo Style Chicken Poppers and Breaded Fried Ravioli.
