The Best Ninja Foodi Recipes

The small kitchen appliance I use the most is easily my Ninja Foodi cooking system. If you are totally new to the Ninja Foodi, it is a multi-function pressure cooker that includes an air fryer. You can also use it to steam, roast veggies, dehydrate, crisp food, bake, and even slow cook. This one kitchen appliance does A LOT, and it frees up precious counter space too. Goodbye rice cooker. dehydrator, slow cooker, and deep fryer!

All of that may seem complicated but it’s totally not. I recently shared a comprehensive guide that answers all your Ninja Foodi questions. The best thing about this kitchen appliance is that it makes mealtime easier. The pressure cook function helps you get dinner onto the table quickly while the air fryer function helps you make healthy meals.

Ninja Foodi Roast Chicken

Roasting a whole chicken in the Ninja Foodi or Instant Pot is easy as easy can be. Seriously. The hardest thing I’d say is actually hefting up that 3 1/2 – 4lb bird into the roasting pot. You’ll never want to pick up a rotisserie chicken from the supermarket again, after trying this ninja foodi chicken recipe.

Ninja Foodi Roast Beef

This is such a great recipe because what normally would have taken a few hours to complete, the Ninja Foodi (or any pressure cooker you have) can make short work of it and let you have dinner on the table in no time.

Perfect Ninja Foodi Rice

Although this was made in the IP, the directions are exactly the same to make it in the Ninja Foodi so I decided to include these two recipes in the roundup. This Easy Instant Pot Mississippi Roast is savory, incredibly tender and the gravy is beefy with a super light tangy flavor from the pepperoncini peppers. The gravy is SO delicious, you could sip it. Tougher roasts and pressure cookers are serious, the best of friends. When the roasts are cooked under pressure, they transformed into tender, juicy, incredible dinner roasts.

These wings can be made both in the Ninja Foodi and the Instant Pot. The directions are the same, only when it comes to the crisping part, the crisping can be done in the Foodi directly, but you’ll have to broil them in the oven for the Instant Pot. They both taste the same in the end!

Is there anything you CAN’T cook in the Ninja Foodi?

Sure, but honestly, there’s not much you can’t cook in the foodi. I suppose anything that needs a batter to be air fried, might be impractical as the batter could drip off before it sets around whatever food it’s encasing.
Pressure cooking, air frying, slow cooking, making yogurt, baking, etc. You can pretty much do it all.
