My air fryer garlic Parmesan wings are seasoned to perfection, loaded with Parmesan cheese, and crisp up perfectly in the air fryer. They’re way healthier and less greasy than traditional wings, and they take just 30 minutes to make from start to finish. These wings are rich with tangy lemon juice, Italian seasoning, and allll the cheese! They’re one of my absolute favorite easy appetizers of all time.
Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Wings Recipe
I love making my classic baked garlic Parmesan wings, but these air fryer wings are great for when I’m in a hurry. They’re ready in half the time and taste just as juicy and delicious. The combination of savory herbs and spices goes so well with the Parmesan cheese, and they get so crispy in the air fryer.

How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover air fryer garlic Parmesan wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight before reheating in a 350°F air fryer for 5-6 minutes.
Notes and Tips
- Don’t forget to flip the wings in the air fryer after the first 12 minutes! This step ensures that the wings are cooked evenly and have the same texture on all sides.
- Feel free to cook these longer if want them to be even crispier. The amount of time in this recipe is my preference because it leaves the inside juicy and the outside just crisp enough.
