This recipe has all the makings for your new favorite classic fish sandwich.

Wake up grilled chicken by glazing it with a sweet-and-tangy barbecue sauce, and pairing it with a salad of grilled onions, raw tomatoes, and pickled green beans.

In the air fryer, you can have tender, pull-apart ribs in a fraction of the traditional time. The spice rub ensures a crunchy, caramelized exterior “shell” as well, so there’s nothing missing here except the hefty barbecue grill and all the mess that comes along with it.

This fragrant olive oil cake stays moist and flavorful for over a week, so feel free to make it a few days before serving. The caramel glaze is an optional, but highly recommended.

Satiny and pleasingly sticky, caramel is one of the most delicious additions to cakes and pastries. The longer the caramel cooks, the darker and less sweet it becomes. You can judge the color by eye or with an accurate instant-read thermometer. Cream of tartar and corn syrup both help prevent crystallization in the finished caramel sauce.

Unlike the oven, the air fryer makes actually-crisp chickpeas. The high heat, circulating at a super-fast speed, dries out the chickpeas so they’re almost dehydrated.

When you make eggplant in the air fryer, not only do you get a wonderful texture, but you have a healthier version than fried eggplant without anywhere near the mess to clean up.

This North Carolinian cobbler-like dessert, with both a bottom crust and lattice top, is topped with a sweetened milk “dip” after baking for a time and then returned to the oven so that the dip forms a rich glaze.

Topped off with a simple raw corn salsa, these patties are a crowd-pleasing and low-maintenance summer dinner.

This cobbler riff is made with a biscuit-like dough that gets rolled out, scattered with juicy blackberries, and then spiraled into a log.

No cheesecake roundup would be complete without this one, created by Santa Fe’s Three Cities of Spain coffeehouse (which closed in the mid-1970s) and our absolute favorite in the creamy category.
