If you’re following the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet, you know how challenging it can be to find flavorful, satisfying meals that avoid common inflammatory ingredients like nightshades, grains, dairy, and processed foods. If you have an air fryer and are short on time, you’ll love these recipes! Either one of our tomato free BBQ Sauces would work with any of the following dishes, try mixing it up and using both the Classic tomato free BBQ Sauce and our Hawaiian tomato free BBQ Sauce. You simply can’t go wrong with either one!
The air fryer is a game-changer for AIP cooking. It makes proteins and veggies crispy, caramelized, and delicious without the need for inflammatory seed oils. When paired with our AIP-compliant Tomato and Nightshade Free BBQ sauce, these air-fried dishes are next-level tasty!
