Air Fryer Arugula Recipes

Arugula, with its peppery bite, is often enjoyed raw. However, the air fryer offers a unique method to transform this leafy green into something entirely different—either remarkably crisp, like a delicate chip, or beautifully wilted with concentrated flavor. This technique is swift, efficient, and yields impressive results.
