Healthy Ninja Foodi recipes you can make with chicken, beef, vegetables and more. For breakfast, lunch or dinner you’ll love these!

Now that you have your new small kitchen appliance, you’ll need some healthy easy Ninja Foodi recipes too. We have a bunch to choose from! (affiliate links present)

I will tell you, your new pressure cooker and air fryer is a game changer and can do it all. Ok, so it doesn’t do my laundry (I wish) but can cook just about everything.

My oven hasn’t been used in a while. I sometimes hear it crying but don’t feel guilty at all. 😉 Air fryer recipes are just so out of this world, I use this thing on a daily basis.

If you too are obsessed with your Ninja Foodi pressure cooker air fryer machine, here are a few resource to start with:

  • First LIKE my Facebook Page because I share new ideas there a lot!
  1. You can bookmark our Ninja air fryer recipes page, we add to that weekly.
    1. Here’s a printable air fryer cook times chart here for your fridge.
    2. Be sure to save this link to the easy Instant Pot recipes too. You can use any of those in your pot too.
  2. Grab our favorite Foodi cookbook here, and this set of wooden utensils work great so your pot doesn’t get scratched!
  3. Then join our Ninja Facebook group where you can share and find more ideas you’ll love. We have an air fryer page that shares daily ideas too.

If you need to know how to cook frozen meat in a pressure cooker, we have information on that. NO, you aren’t the only forgetful one. 😉

I have the oldest, first model, as you can see here. It doesn’t matter whether yours is the updated version, is white or red, the Ninja Foodi recipes below will work for you.

Let’s start with the beginning of the day. If you want a bit of a treat you can “bake” some air fryer donuts, or just have one donut hole.

OR start with a low carb air fryer recipe like this egg dish filled with meat and/or veggies, our favorite add in is mushrooms.

Ninja Foodi Egg Recipes

If you don’t want to make such a large meal, we have another option though! If you love Starbucks egg bites (like I do) you’ll go crazy over these because you can customize them to your liking.

You can either use the pressure cooking function for Ninja Foodi egg bites, poached eggs, or use fun silicone muffin cups and make these! My kids love a few air fryer apple chips for sweetness on the side too.

  • Want a vegetarian option? Try some Ninja Foodi butternut squash cubes.

I kinda’ love the air crisp function better because you get a bit of crisp on the top as you see.

Ninja Foodi Healthy Recipes

Let’s move on to lunch and dinner now. I mean you can easily make breakfast this time of day, or for dinner but you know what I mean….

There are LOTS of Ninja Foodi chicken recipes you can choose from but I will share a few of the healthiest ones. I love them all with broccoli or pressure cooker bok choy.

  • Ninja Foodi spaghetti squash can be eaten as is with salt and pepper or tossed with sauce and chicken.
  • Grab some pitas, tomatoes and onions and make air fryer falafel some night.

Unlike frozen air fryer chicken tenders, there is a way to make tasty finger foods with NO breading at all.

Air Fryer Chicken Tenders no Breading
Air fryer chicken tenders no breading recipe is my kids' favorite meal! Barbecue strips of chicken breast cooked to perfection in no time. #airfryer #airfryerchicken #chickentenders

With some barbecue sauce on top, everyone loves these and our Ninja Foodi chicken legs! OR here’s how to make frozen chicken in Ninja Foodi. Serve with a side of brown rice and you’re set for a yummy meal.

  • I have used light breadcrumbs wrapped with bacon too with our chicken tenders.

I mean there are a ton of side dishes you can make with these main dishes, I will share more of those below.

What if dinner is soon but you forgot to defrost your chicken breasts?? Yep, I do this too and we have an answer to how to cook air fryer frozen chicken wings AND this…..

I use the pressure cook and air crisp functions only. I tried the Crock pot / slow cook function and like the Instant Pot, it doesn’t work well. Just use your old fashioned pot for those recipes really.

If you love chicken thighs we have a few options as well.

Cooked whole they’re great but diced up with a sweet sauce served on top of fluffy Ninja Foodi rice, it is my girls’ favorite meals. Take a look at another option below:

Now on to something out of the sea. If we could eat fish and seafood every single day we would, even my kids.

From fresh to frozen we have tips for how to make it come out incredible every single time you make it.

Ninja Foodi Fish Recipes

Above is a roundup of all different types of fish and how to cook them in your pot. From air fryer salmon, to air fryer fried shrimp they’re all so good.

We probably use this air fryer tilapia recipe the most often.

Forgetful? Me too. You can even cook frozen fish in Ninja Foodi to perfection I tell you.

Ninja Foodi Vegetable Recipes

I like to serve veggies with just about every meal. When my kids were younger they were like ehhhhh, but they had to at least take one bite.

NOW, they’d rather eat an entire plate full of carrots, broccoli and air fryer baked potatoes than meat really.

  • I use a steamer basket if I am pressure cooking them.

Toss a few of them together and it’s the best!! I often times choose sliced onions, zucchini, yellow squash, and mushrooms together because they need about the same time to get tender.

Air Fryer Vegetables
Best air fryer vegetables you will ever make are here! No breading, just seasonings and mixed vegetables cooked to perfection. A healthy side dish fave.

Maybe you want to start a bit simpler though, and begin with just one. I would suggest cauliflower. It’s cheap and tastes great with just some seasoning and no breading.

That means it will continue to stay gluten free, so everyone can enjoy it, and is very low in calories too. We eat this as a snack sometimes it’s just THAT good!

Yep, that one is pretty darn popular, and rightfully so! Let’s move on to another type of protein though.

We have a lot of beef in our house because we buy meat in bulk from a local farmer. Half a cow a year to be exact. I love that it’s one less thing I need to grab at the store.

Ninja Foodi Beef Recipes

We will start with a family favorite of ours using this steak rub everyone raves about!

I can’t even explain how good this is. Only 5 minutes makes each bite NOT overcooked and super tender. With LOADS of flavor you can serve this with some quinoa and done!

You can make air fryer steak wrapped with bacon which is amazing too if you want to keep them whole.

OR if you want both beef and mashed potatoes you can make them all at the same time this way…

Ninja Foodi steak and mashed potatoes comes out great, all in one pot! Tender pressure cooked meat and potatoes, then air fried steak with the best dry rub.

If you have their indoor grill you can try this Ninja Foodi grill steak and potatoes recipe too. For something simple though I usually opt for something with ground beef.

Love combining veggies and meat together for a complete meal? Of course, that’s the wonder of the Foodi. Try this next!

Pressure Cooker Beef and Broccoli 4
Pressure Cooker Beef and Broccoli
Here’s an easy pressure cooker beef and broccoli recipe you’ll love. Made in my Instant Pot the other night it has a thick flavorful sauce and tender beef with vegetables cooked together in one pot. Served on top of rice or alone for dinner it is a simple but tasty meal my kids really loved too.

Served over a bed of white rice you really don’t need to cook anything else for dinnertime.

Now I know you’d love an air fryer dessert recipe at the end of the day, but let’s think about something on the healthier side. Here’s what we have in mind that is delicious:
