I just got an air fryer this year for Christmas and it’s great. Totally beats my expectations (because I expected it to be mediocre or worse).
It’s easy to use, easy to clean, and stuff tastes good!
Of course, the first thing I made was frozen french fries (SOO not Keto) with zero added oil and they were crisp and crunchy and then I just wanted to try making EVERYTHING.
So, here we have it: 22 Keto Air Fryer Recipes.

What is the Keto Diet?
The keto dietis a low-carb diet. The goal is to get your body to use fat as its energy source instead of carbs (called ketosis). You get to choose how you’ll do the keto diet (most people set a maximum net carb limit for the day – as low as 20g up to 75g is the common range).
Tools to Make a Keto Air Fryer Recipes
You’ll definitely need an air fryer to make these recipes.
Some of the recipes might call for air fryer accessories – the shelf is the most common accessory and you won’t regret getting one.
Air fryers come in a variety of sizes – choose the size that will work best for your meals. I have a T-fal Actifry and a little shelf to go in it and it works perfectly for my needs.
4 Basic Protein Recipes
These four recipes are for the basics: chicken, pork, salmon, steak.
They’re nothing complicated and use simple ingredients that you can make any time. Plus, they’re low in cards so you can enjoy them guilt-free on a keto diet!
