Bloody Red Velvet Popcorn

- Add popped popcorn to the popcorn cage of your air fryer. Make sure it’s loosely filled to allow space for coating and airflow.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the red velvet chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Transfer the popcorn from the cage to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the popcorn and gently stir to coat evenly.
- Drizzle red syrup over the coated popcorn to create a spooky “bloody” effect.
- Return the coated popcorn to the popcorn cage. Air fry at 160°C for 2–3 minutes to help the chocolate set and slightly crisp the coating. Watch closely to avoid overheating.
- Let the popcorn cool for a few minutes before serving. Once the chocolate is set, enjoy your creepy Halloween treat!
It’s Alive Lasagna

- Place a skillet over medium heat. Brown the sausages, and break them into crumbles. Drain the excess fat and remove the skillet from the heat.
- Add the marinade sauce and mix well. Set aside.
- Add these ingredients to a mixing bowl: egg, Parmesan cheese, Ricotta cheese, pepper, and salt. Mix well.
- Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
- Add about 1/4 of the sauce to the bottom of the dish. Top with two sheets of lasagna. Add 1/3 of the ricotta mixture on top. Add 1/4th of the Mozzarella, and repeat with the remaining sheets and ingredients until you have a top layer of noodles. Add the remaining sauce and mozzarella.
- Preheat the air fryer to 185°C. Once hot, add the lasagna in and air fry for 25-30 minutes. Cover the dish with foil and air fry for 15-20 more minutes at 130°C.
- Remove the lasagna from the air fryer. Let it cool for 15 minutes, and then serve! Enjoy this amazing air fryer lasagna dish!
Stuffed Pepper Jack-O’-Lanterns

- Wash the bell peppers. Cut jack-o’-lantern faces into each pepper using a small, sharp knife. Slice off the tops and remove seeds and cores.
- In a bowl, lightly mix together the ground beef, egg, bread cubes, onion, tomato, garlic, chilli sauce, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Fill each pepper loosely with the beef mixture. Don’t overpack—this helps them cook evenly.
- Set your air fryer to 160°C and preheat for 3–5 minutes.
- Place the stuffed peppers in the air fryer basket. If needed, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding. Air fry for 20–25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the meat is cooked through (71°C).
Dracula Dentures

- Bake thin cookies of your choice. Or follow our recipe here.
- Mix a small bowl of icing and use red food colouring in the mix.
- Shape some of your marshmallows into sharp points to look like fangs.
- Put a layer of red icing on the bottom of the cookies and line the marshmallows to look like teeth.
Vampire Bat Wings

- In a bowl, mix soy sauce (and honey/sugar if using). Add the chicken wings and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for a deeper flavour.
- Set your air fryer to 180°C and let it preheat for about 3 minutes.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil. Place the wings in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Cook for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- In a small bowl, mix black food colouring with a teaspoon of water or soy sauce to thin it slightly.
- Once the wings are cooked and crispy, brush them with the black glaze while still hot. For a deeper black, apply a second coat after a few minutes.
- Plate the wings with dark garnishes like black sesame seeds or edible charcoal powder for extra drama. Serve with dipping sauces like garlic aioli or spicy mayo.
Brain Dip

- In a bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella, cheddar, sour cream, garlic powder, and any optional add-ins.
- Spoon the mixture into your brain-shaped silicone mould. Press down gently to remove air pockets.
- Preheat your air fryer to 160°C. Place the mould in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10–15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Let it cool for 5–10 minutes before unmoulding. Serve warm with crackers, breadsticks, or veggie sticks.
Black Cat Dip

- Blend ingredients until smooth (7 oz cream cheese, Havarti, Gruyere, Roasted red peppers, Garlic)
- Transfer the cheese mixture onto plastic wrap. Shape into a flattened ball (like a cat’s face). Wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Reserve 2 whole tortilla chips for ears. Crush the rest into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
- Unwrap the chilled cheese ball. Roll it in the crushed tortilla chips until fully coated.
- Preheat air fryer to 160°C (320°F). Place the coated cheese ball (without decorations) on parchment paper in the basket. Air fry for 2–3 minutes to lightly crisp the outside. Let cool slightly before decorating.
- Use the remaining 1 oz cream cheese in a piping bag or zip-top bag with a snipped corner. Pipe whiskers on the front. Shape the reserved cheese into a small triangle and place it as the nose. Scoop out two small circles above the nose, fill with cream cheese, and top with olive halves for eyes. Insert the reserved tortilla chips as ears.
- Chill until ready to serve. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving with crackers.
Witch Hat Mini Sandwiches

- Use black tortillas (charcoal-infused or squid ink). Cut into triangles or semicircles. Fold into cone or hat shapes. Use toothpicks or a dab of flour-water paste to hold the shape.
- Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray or brush the tortilla shapes with oil for crispiness.
- Place the shaped tortillas in the air fryer basket. Cook for 3–5 minutes, checking halfway through. Remove when they’re crispy and firm.
- Let the hats cool slightly to hold their shape. Carefully stuff with your choice of filling (Pimento cheese, Sliced turkey, or Guacamole).
- Sprinkle edible shimmer or glitter for a magical, spooky effect.
- Arrange on a festive platter. Optional: Decorate with mini pumpkins, cobwebs, or Halloween props.
