Easy Air Fryer Favorites:
Modern Twists on German Classics

​Lydia's Air Fryer recipes offer a modern twist on traditional German dishes, making them quicker and healthier without compromising flavor. From schnitzel and bratwurst to delectable desserts like streuselkuchen, these recipes showcase the versatility of the air fryer. Especially perfect for one or two people, they bring the taste of Germany to your kitchen with ease.​

I grew up watching Oma make the most delicious German meals — always from scratch, always with love (and usually a bit of flour on her apron). As much as I love those traditional recipes, I wanted to find a way to enjoy them in my busy lifestyle. That’s where the air fryer came in.

These recipes are my way of keeping Oma’s flavors alive while making them just a bit quicker and easier for everyday life. Think schnitzel that’s still crispy, but without all the oil. Or a warm slice of crumb cake, baked right in the air fryer.

And yes—even the non-German, but oh so yummy, twice-baked potatoes, just like Oma used to make for me because she knew they were my favorite, perfectly wunderbar and creamy with a little air fryer magic.

Oma gave me the foundation — this is just my twist on it. I know she approves… especially when there are potatoes involved. (Did you know potatoes are Oma's favorite vegetable? Oh, and red cabbage!)
