Looking for something sweet and healthy to make in your air fryer? Try air fryer grapes! Ready in about 10 minutes, they are perfect on their own or in a variety of other ways!
If you own an air fryer, you may already know how versatile this kitchen appliance can be. From crispy chicken wings to roasted vegetables, an air fryer can cook a wide variety of foods quickly and without added oil. But did you know that you can use your air fryer for grapes? That’s right – air fryer grapes are a thing, and they’re surprisingly delicious!
I decided a few weeks ago to try a bunch of different fruits and vegetables in the air fryer to see how they turned out. I will give you a bit of a spoiler and let you know that just about everything I tried was amazing! Not sure that I expected any different, but…I mean, who toss grapes in the air fryer? Oh, don’t worry, you will now…because they are AMAZING! Seriously, I was surprised! And they are ready in just minutes…score!
Here’s How to Make Air Fryer Grapes:
Making air fryer grapes is so easy. You’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1-2 cups of seedless grapes
- olive oil spray
- Salt and pepper
Now, to make them preheat your air fryer as directed. Next, rinse the grapes and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Then, in a bowl, spray the grapes with the olive oil spray and sprinkle on salt and pepper. Toss them gently to coat them evenly.
After they are coated, place the grapes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Finally, air fry the grapes for 10 minutes, shaking the basket once or twice to ensure even cooking. Remove the grapes from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Not sure how to pick grapes at the grocery store? Here are some tips for selecting grapes.

Why Make Air Fryer Grapes?
For starters, they’re a fun and unique way to enjoy this nutritious fruit. The heat from the air fryer gives them a slightly sweet and crunchy texture. They make a great snack or appetizer, and they’re also a tasty addition to salads or charcuterie boards. I served mine on crackers with some low fat cream cheese and a sprinkle of fresh rosemary. SO GOOD.
What Do Air Fryer Grapes Taste Like?
They have a sweet flavor and a juicy interior. If you have ever had roasted grapes, this is similar, they are just ready faster than waiting on the oven.
How to Store Air Fried Grapes?
If you have any leftover air fried grapes, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
Can You Freeze Air Fried Grapes?
Unfortunately, air fried grapes do not freeze well. The texture and flavor will change.
How to Serve Air Fryer Grapes
Air fried grapes are great on their own as a snack, but you can also serve them in a variety of ways.
Try them on top of a spinach salad with feta cheese and balsamic dressing, or add them to a cheese board with nuts and crackers.
You can also serve them as a sweet and savory side dish with roasted pork or chicken. And we also recommend giving our Roasted Grape Syrup a try!
