Hi! I’m Cathy Yoder – “The REAL Air Fryer Queen” 👑 👩🍳
As a busy mom of 8 kids who doesn’t LOVE to cook, I needed a more inspiring way to feed my family–several times a day. That’s when I had an “aha moment” and discovered I could use an AIR FRYER to cook real food, using real recipes, REAL FAST.
Now, I’m on a mission to EMPOWER everyday cooks (like me) to feel more confident in the kitchen. With simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, every air fryer recipe here will help you make delicious (and mostly nutritious) air fryer meals in minutes.
So, if you’re ready to unleash the power of your air fryer, join me here at Empowered Cooks. We’ll make recipes ranging from amazing air fryer chicken to salmon, steak, veggies, baked goods, and desserts in a fraction of the time it normally takes. Are you ready? Let’s go! 🚀

Sometimes one needs something unhealthy 😅.. I will try the Cadbury egg version… I rather do them cuz Oreo is not for me… great swap 🎉
I am definitely going to try the bread roll recipe, and also the egg bake but I will use a silicone air fryer container instead of parchment paper for that one. I prefer hard boiled eggs in my instant pot, I use one cup of boiling water and high pressure for just 3 mins 😉 because I am always looking for quicker ways to prepare food. Nevertheless very interesting ideas. 🤩
Since you can ripe a Banana, can you ripe an Avocado?
Several of the recipes in your book, like Hibachi Chicken and the Sausage Potato Bake are on a regular rotation at our house.
I just bought the TURBO BLAZE.
Loving it!
3/8/25 when u cooked the sweet potatoes u put some red things on top of the parchment paper. What were they?? 🤷🏽♀️ I enjoy All Ur videos. Thk u for sharing 🙏🏾
❤❤
would some of these work in an air fryer/toaster oven combo? I have a tiny kitchen.
hard boiled eggs???
Thank you I really enjoyed your video mmm❤uk😊
Sorry but some foods need to be deep fried to be good! LOL 😉😉😉

I like all the recipes! Even If I don't cook them. You never know. ❤
Great!!😅 Love to watch you.
Cadbury things are so nasty
I get some good recipes and tips EVERY time I watch an air fryer video. Cadbury egg recipe too sweet for me but can send to my son who loves them. There are mini eggs that would be perfect for smaller treat recipe.
Roasting tomatoes in airfryer with onions, peppers, and seasoning good for soup or sauce. But my favorite is hard boiled eggs. I have to try it. I only cook a few at a time and the water/stove method needs an update.
Air fryer cooking is perfect for a single person kitchen for a variety of great recipes without using the oven. Keep those recipes, conventional or unconventional, coming.
tu n'es pas nulle Cathy, merci pour toutes ces astuces.
Air fryer magnets! To hold up the parchment? Oh wow am I excited! Great recipes too! Ty! BTW, I am struggling with making my omelettes in the air fryer. I use a square air fryer pan but for some reason it always flows to the front of the the air fryer, making my omelettes thin on one side and way to thick on the other. I am hoping it is just the pan that came in a set for my air fryer. Hopefully if I use the parchment liner, I use the same ones, and get the magnets they will come out flat! Thanks again for that idea!
Yum!
LMAO Creme eggs! 😅
Cadbury Eggs – looks great
Twinkie – I'm on your daughter's side
Spaghetti – never would have thought about it – I am gonna go with your suggestion and not do it.
whole tomatoes – nice idea – but too much for just me to go through all that.
Banana – i eat them, but good to know
butter – thank you for the idea
proofing dough – i've never made any bread yet, so I will try it when I do.
taco bowl – not a taco person, but it's a good idea
omelet – looking good
hard boiled eggs – good
hibachi chicken – very nice
peanut butter banana chocolate dessert – my new diet restriction has me having to avoid chocolate and nuts. But it looks great. "healthy chocolate"
graham crackers cheesecake – yummy
sweet potato pizza – another item on my having-to-avoid list. But, as it's 'avoid' not 'never can have' those pizzas are certainly doable for me when I allow myself to have an item on that list.
creamy chicken enchiladas – Since t's just me, how long would that chicken mixture last in the fridge or should I halve the recipe?
Oh, as another commenter mentioned, you do not suck. You are helping us all be better cooks through your videos. And for that, I, and I am sure, the other viewers, thank you very much.
FIRST1 Italians will tell you to NEVER NEVER break the noodles in half. NEVER.
Hi Cathy!!! Thanks for all these recipes/tips. I will be giving alot of these a try for sure.Such cutesy Taste-testers…Take Care…Great Video!!!…🦋
I'm looking for good airfryer recipes but it seems hopeless.
Great video
You don't suck! You are wonderful. You helped me not to be scared of my air fryer. 🤗🤗🤗
I just ordered your cookbook ps love your testers ❤🇨🇦
Yuck!
Do you think you could ripen avocados like the banana?
Taco bowl. Cool. If you also make some of these recipes healthy (low carb) and suggest alternatives to corn starch, flour, sugar, and such, it would be appreciated.
Kathy. Did u bake those buns or air fry them? As my air fryer has a bake cycle too. Thx
Hi, I am definitely gonna try some of these once I get an air fryer. It looks like you have the Cosori Turbo Blaze. I’m trying to decide between the Turbo Blaze and the Clear Blaze (the one with the viewing window) and the only significant difference seems to be that the Turbo Blaze goes to 450 and the Clear Blaze only goes to 400. Do you ever actually cook anything at 450? I do like the idea of the window, but don’t want to miss out on some air fryer recipe options if my air fryer didn’t go to that temperature.
You almost made the best spaghetti sauce with those tomatoes. I put small tomatoes, a bell pepper, onion and a whole garlic clove in a dish, sprinkle with oil, thyme and basil and fry it in the air fryer until it is browned and soft. Pour it into a blender and use some of the spaghetti water until it gets a consistency you like and season with salt and pepper.
Hola, cada vez enseñas comidas impresionantes…..😃😃… que atrevida eres… 😄.Estoy comenzando con la Freidora de aire, la verdad que ayuda para los que no somos cocinillas…..😊
Sabrias decirme que puedo hacer para que no me salgan las pechugas o el pescado con mucho sabor a pan rallado, he probado con Maicena, con harina especial para rebosados, pero el resultado no nos gusta.
y otra cosa el libro que vendes de recetas, lo puedo conseguir en español. Un saludo, desde las Islas Canarias, España.
Great ideas! Did you use premade yeast dough for the roll?
Many of these are living proof that just because you can, you shouldn't.
Who knew? This was really interesting – and FUN!
there are quite a few UK videos on cooking lasagne directly in the air fryer basket
over here we have weird TV ads for creme eggs under the banner How do you eat yours, this year they're saying mashed up and melted on toast
Where did you find the ties you used to hold the parchment liners? I NEED those in my life!
Great video!!🎉
Lol, Its funny what one person considers normal and another person is all YUCK!! I made AF scotch eggs in my old cosori air fryer, they took a lot longer to cook than the tutorial recommended , buy they were so worth it and a little runny… delicious!
Your egg one reminded me and since I have a pack of eggs coming close to the date, guess what I will be making soon. Thanks Cathy
Great ideas !!!
One bite headache
