Tips:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- You can use your favorite cheeses in this recipe. Just make sure that they are freshly grated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- I use a 7-inch air fryer pan from a Bellagione Air Fryer Accessories set <\/strong><\/a>that I purchased because it fits into my NINJA AF101<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- This recipe is also great for meal prepping. Simply cook the mac and cheese according to the instructions, then let it cool completely. You can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days before reheating it in the air fryer at 360\u00b0F for approximately 5-7 minutes.
