    Appetizers are one of my favorite things to make when hosting a party because they give guests a wide variety of different flavors and ingredients, so everyone can find something they love!

    No matter which Ninja Foodi appliance(s) you have, you can use it to help make delicious appetizers that your friends, family, and coworkers will enjoy.

    When planning several appetizers, make it easy on yourself and choose a few that can be served cold, a few that can be served room temperature, and only 1 or 2 that need to be kept hot.

    When planning on the quantity of appetizers, plan for about 6 per person if you are serving them before a meal and 10-12 if you are only serving appetizers.

    Enjoy the recipes and be sure to tag me @thesaltedpepper when you make and post them on your favorite social media channel.

    Air Fryer Appetizers

    When it comes to making appetizers, your air fryer is your best friend! You can get restaurant quality appetizers right at home.

    I remember the first time I had fried pickle chips at a restaurant. I wasn't quite sure if they would be for me, but they were surprisingly delicious! Crunchy on the outside, with a warm pickle on the inside. The only thing I wasn't fond of is how soft the pickle was, so when I created this air fryer fried pickle recipe I made sure the pickles had a slight crunch and they are simply the best!

    When making an air fryer recipe, the times and temperatures are usually the same in the Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker & Air Crisper, the Ninja Foodi Indoor Grills, and the basket style Ninja Foodi Air Fryers. When converting an air fryer recipe to the flip oven or the XL oven, you will want to increase your temperature 25-50°.

    Sauces & Dips

    Homemade sauces and dips make the perfect accompaniment to many appetizers. The Homemade Blueberry Sauce goes great with Air Fryer Meatballs, chicken wings and more.

    The Marinara Sauce makes a perfect dipping sauce for Cauliflower Arancini Balls or Meatballs. I LOVE the Peanut Sauce on just about anything, I could literally drink it, it's that good! One of my favorite things to dip in the peanut sauce is Chicken Satay.

    Sweet & Sour Pineapple Sauce is great with Coconut Shrimp or with Turkey Meatballs.

    Homemade French Onion Dip goes great with pretzels, chips, or veggies!

    Most of these recipes are made in the Ninja Foodi Cold & Hot Blender, but you can absolutely make them on the stove or in the inner pot of the Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker & Air Crisper.
