I've shopped at Costco for over a decade. Here are my 9 favorite buys to make in the air fryer.

• As a food blogger, I love to prepare Costco appetizers, sides, and entrées in the air fryer.
• Products like Kirkland Signature wings and Just Bare chicken-breast chunks fry up perfectly.
• I also like to make ravioli and even green beans in my air fryer using my Costco buys.

Whether you're a veteran air-fryer user or a newbie to the appliance, you'll find that its popularity is not without merit. 

Air fryers help me prepare meals quickly and conveniently, making my food nice and crispy while using far less oil than deep-frying.

It's one of my favorite appliances to use while running my blog Costco Kitchen, where I share creative meal and recipe ideas using products from the warehouse store.

Here are some of my favorite Costco buys to prepare in an air fryer.

I often cook my Kirkland Signature chicken wings in the air fryer

Kirkland Signature chicken wings come out of the air fryer tender and juicy.

They can be ready to eat in under 30 minutes, making them a perfect party snack or a quick weeknight dinner. 

Marinade them before air-frying or toss them with a wing sauce before serving. Pair them with a starchy side dish and salad or steamed vegetables for an easy, no-fuss family meal.

Making green beans in the air fryer is super simple

Cooking green beans is usually a multistep process that involves boiling, dunking them in an ice bath, and then cooking them in a hot pan.

With an air fryer, they can be ready in less than 10 minutes with no additional bowls, pots, or pans to clean.

The green beans I buy from Costco come snipped, washed, and ready to use, so I can simply toss them in olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper and cook them in the air fryer for eight minutes.  

Use your air fryer to help make a delicious garlic spread

If you love garlic, try roasting an entire bulb in the air fryer. The garlic bulbs turn soft, golden, and slightly sweet and nutty in flavor.

I like to get a 2-pound bag of California-grown fresh garlic at Costco. I cut off the tops of the bulbs, drizzle them with olive oil, then roast them in the air fryer for 35 minutes.

You can mix the garlic with softened butter to make a heavenly garlic paste to spread over toast.

I make my own crispy and satisfying toasted ravioli

You may have seen deep-fried ravioli, often referred to as "toasted ravioli," in the appetizer section of restaurant menus.

I like to use the Giovanni Rana 3 Cheese Ravioli from Costco to make a similar version in the air fryer.  

Boil the ravioli for three minutes, then dip them in an egg mixture and dredge in panko breadcrumbs. Spray both sides with oil so the ravioli can get nice and crispy, then air fry for eight to 10 minutes. 

I like to serve them with Rao's Homemade marinara sauce, which can be found in the pasta section at Costco.

Chicken drumsticks can be the star of a weeknight dinner that's ready in half an hour

For some dinners, I buy Kirkland Signature organic chicken drumsticks that come in portion packs containing about five or six pieces. 

To prep them, I coat the drumsticks (be sure to thaw beforehand if using frozen) with my favorite seasonings and pop them in the air fryer for an easy weeknight dinner that's ready in under 30 minutes.

I brush them with melted butter and parsley when they come out of the air fryer to give them a rich and glossy finish.

If you didn't like tofu before, try making it crispy in the air fryer

If you've eaten tofu in the past but didn't love it, I suggest air-frying it.

I use Nasoya Organic firm tofu, which I get from Costco. It's important to use firm tofu when air-frying to ensure it can hold up throughout the cooking process.  

I like to marinate the tofu cubes with Kinder's Teriyaki Sauce — also from Costco — before placing them in the air fryer for 18 minutes. 

The crispy tofu can be enjoyed by itself or added to stir-fry. My favorite way to enjoy air-fried tofu is in a bowl with rice, quinoa, vegetables, and sauce to make a perfect dish for meatless Mondays.

Just Bare chicken-breast chunks are a great dupe for another popular nugget

Some know Just Bare chicken-breast chunks as being a dupe for Chick-fil-A's nuggets.

Heat them in the air fryer at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for eight minutes to get the breading on the outside nice and crispy while the meat stays tender and juicy. 

You can sprinkle them over a salad, add them to a tortilla for a crunchy chicken wrap, or enjoy them with dipping sauces.

Potstickers stay soft with a golden, crispy exterior 

Costco carries a variety of frozen potstickers and dumplings, many of which come with a dipping sauce.

Preparing them in the air fryer is my preferred method so they get crispy edges and a soft bottom.

If you want your potstickers golden and crispy all around, flip them halfway during the cooking process.

Vegetable-filled spring rolls are a great snack when you air-fry them

The vegetable spring rolls from Royal Asia are the perfect appetizer or snack because you can heat them up in the air fryer and dip them in the soy-ginger sauce that's provided. 

The wrapper is thin and crispy, and the filling contains a variety of vegetables, including edamame, jicama, and cabbage.

Heat the spring rolls in the air fryer at 390 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes and flip halfway through.
