Air Fryer Nachos Tips + Tricks

Gather your ingredients

This gluten free air fryer nachos recipe is so easy to customize! My favorite ingredients to use are:

  • Leftover pulled pork or chicken
  • Corn tortilla chips
  • Black beans
  • Avocado
  • Scallions
  • Cilantro
  • Taco Seasoning: Look for low FODMAP friendly taco seasoning, like my favorite from Fody Foods
  • Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • Shredded cheese

Air Fryer Nachos Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to pre-heat the airfryer?

You only need to pre-heat the airfryer if your specific model requires it. The air fryer that I use is amazing and does not need to be pre-heated, so it makes preparing food in the air fryer a snap!

How long does it take to air fry nachos?

In just 3-5 minutes you can have crispy, cheesy air fryer nachos! Set the air fryer to 350F and the timer for 5 minutes. I usually check the basket at the 3 minute mark to ensure the cheese is melting but not burning.

What type of tortilla chips are best?

To make these gluten free nachos, make sure to choose tortilla chips made from corn. If you are celiac, be sure to choose a brand that is certified gluten free just to be sure there has not been any cross contamination.

Restaurant style chips work best as they are generally sturdier and can handle loads of toppings. Whole Foods brand and Mi Niña corn tortilla chips are inexpensive and my two favorite brands to use.

Are black beans low FODMAP friendly?

Yes, black beans are in fact low FODMAP friendly, but make sure to watch your serving sizes. Monash University has found black beans to be low FODMAP friendly in 1/4 cup servings. Be sure to choose canned black beans that have been drained and rinsed properly.

Is avocado low FODMAP friendly?

While avocado is generally considered to be high FODMAP, avocado fans can rejoice in knowing that there is actually a low FODMAP friendly serving size! 1/8 of an avocado has been confirmed to be low in FODMAPs.

Low FODMAP Tip: Download the Monash FODMAP app so you can check the serving sizes of all your favorite foods to determine whether or not they are low FODMAP friendly. Remember, if you don’t tolerate something, simply omit it! These air fryer nachos would be just as delicious without the beans or avocado if those foods aren’t something you’re able to tolerate at this time.

What to serve with air fryer nachos?

On game day you can pair these gluten free nachos with:

  • Leftover pulled pork
  • Paleo soft pretzels
  • Homemade gourmet popcorn
  • Pineapple Ranch Water
