Tuna Croquettes
Traditionally, croquettes are a fried delicacy; the word croquette comes from the French word croquer, which literally means “crunch.” With the air fryer, however, you’ll get all the crispness without the deep-fried fat and carbs. Also, don’t discard your celery leaves — chop them up and serve them over your croquettes, or add them to a salad at a later date!
