Air Fryer Omelette with Parchment Paper

I know making an omelet is probably faster to make on a stovetop in a nonstick skillet. But, what if I told you, you could make an omelette in your air fryer just by adding some parchment paper at the bottom of your basket? Easy clean up and no dirty pans. 

I’ve been seeing people make air fryer omelettes or frittatas on Tiktok lately so I thought I’d give it a try. I like how the top part of the omelette comes out a little crispy. My omelette was thin enough that you could put it between two slices of bread and make a sandwich with it. Have you been following me on Tiktok lately? Check out my latest recipe videos there.

What air fryers are best?

I've had 3 or 4 different air fryers or the past 5 years and each one of them has worked very well with the air fryer recipes on this site. If you want to be able to cook more food for your family at once then get an air fryer with a large basket such as 5.3 quarts. Look for ones that say nonstick on them and has multiple program settings.

Power XL Air Fryer 5.3 Quart Basket. - This was my very first air fryer.

Our 5.3QT Power Air-Fryer comes in handy in preparing amazing meals from your cookbook, and frying a variety of dishes, such as: French fries, chicken, steak, roasts, fish tacos and sticks, waffle fries, pies, pudding and donuts.

Ninja Foodi Grill and Air Fryer - This air fryer works very well too but the air fryer setting doesn't go below 300 degrees. If there's a recipe that calls for lower temperatures you have to use the bake setting. It air frys, roasts, grills, and dehydrates food.
