“Nutritionist Maria Emmerich wrote this book to keep keto cooking simple. By combining her expertise with modern tools like the air fryer, she came up with over a hundred recipes! Who knows, you might even whip up something so delicious it’ll turn some of your friends keto.”—Greatist “Followers of the keto diet already know how to cut out carbs, but the trick is in balancing the amount of healthy fat you include in your diet. The air fryer (and this cookbook) can help with that. Keto Air Fryer includes quick and easy versions of favorite recipes (like macaroni and cheese and onion rings) that are light on carbs and oil, all with little cleanup.” —Purewow “While some of her recipes (all delicious—that’s what I love about this author) take some prep, she has an awesome list of 10-minute recipes!  Cooking with your air fryer is so simple… you’re going to want to start using it as soon as you get this cookbook!” —Simplefunketo
