Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings are crispy, garlicky, and finger-lickin’ good. I serve these wings with my favorite Paleo-approved ranch dressing by Tesse Mae’s and fresh carrot and celery sticks. It’s makes for a quick, easy, and delicious game day snack or meal!

I got a Ninja Air Fryer for Christmas, and ever since, it’s been by go-to method of cooking. Literally, anything and everything is delicious. Not to mention, quick to cook and easy to clean. If you’re looking for an easy way to get dinner on the table at the end of a long day, get yourself an air fryer. In fact, I love my air fryer so much, I’m starting a new recipe series on the blog just for all my new air fryer recipes!

Air Fryer: Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings 4

How to Cook Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings

Step 1: get yourself an air fryer. I’m pretty confident you’ll love it as much as I do! Chop your garlic and parsley, while the air fryer preheats for a few minutes. Once the fryer is ready, add your frozen or thawed chicken wings (I use Trader Joe’s frozen organic chicken wings) to the fryer basket with ghee, sea salt, and pepper. Fry for 12 minutes, toss, and fry for another 12 minutes. Remove your wings from the fryer and sprinkle with parmesan and parsley. I recommend dipping your wings in Tesse Mae’s delicious, dairy-free ranch dressing! 

How to Serve Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings

Serve your chicken wings as an appetizer, snack, or dinner. I typically make these wings on game day with B! I mean, what better way to watch football than with perfectly crispy chicken wings, sweet potato fries, and a cold drink? That’s right, not much. 

Pair this recipe with your favorite coleslaw, carrot and celery sticks, and/or sweet potato fries. My post for “Sweet Potato Fries: 2 Ways” is a great resource for homemade sweet potato fries!

What You Need to Make this Recipe

Ninja Air Fryer

This is the exact air fryer I have and I love it! No complaints. It’s the perfect size to cook for two and fits great on the counter top.

 

Chicken Wings

Duh! You can’t make chicken wings without… chicken wings! I stock up on Trader Joe’s Organic Chicken Wings. They come frozen in a 2 lb bag. While they aren’t the best quality, they are still decent quality, affordable, and taste good. You can make this recipe with frozen or raw chicken wings. 

Garlic

Fresh garlic adds so much flavor to this recipe. Not only is it tasty, but also extremely good for you! Raw garlic is known for it’s antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial properties. I prefer to add the raw garlic to the chicken wings after frying- otherwise you’ll end up with charred, blackened garlic. No, thank you!

Parmesan

Raw cheese is so nutritious and provides so many health benefits. For example, raw cheese is known to increase digestive enzymes and good gut bacteria, and providing a healthy dose of calcium, vitamin B, and vitamin C. Not to mention, raw cheese just tastes that much better. Freshly grated, raw parmesan is what makes this recipe so good! 

Parsley

Parsley is a potent and flavorful herb. It’s flavor perfectly compliments the garlic and parmesan! You can omit the parsley if you want, but I don’t recommend it.

    Are you a Nutrition Professional who feels overwhe Are you a Nutrition Professional who feels overwhelmed and burdened by running a small business?! 

As a FNTP, who previously ran my own nutritional therapy practice, I know what it’s like to wear many hats. And let’s face it, small business owners can’t do it ALL. 

I‘ve personally experienced the overwhelm that comes with running your own business.

That’s when I decided to change directions and pursue content creation full time. Because I immediately saw the need for content creation in the nutrition sphere. Why?

Because as a nutrition professional, you want to share content that is accurate and original. Who’s better qualified to help you create content than a trained nutrition professional??

See where I’m going here? 🙃

I love combining my two passions: content creation and nutrition. Better yet, I love using these skill sets to better your business!

    Hi, it’s me. I’m still here! 👋🏼 I’ve Hi, it’s me. I’m still here! 👋🏼 

I’ve taken an unintentional (yet, very long) hiatus from this social media account and my blog. But, I’m back for a good while (I think 😅). Here’s what’s been going on lately..

In case you didn’t know, I started my own  business as a Content Creator in 2018, while I was in school at the Nutritional Therapy Association. As a trained FNTP, my niche is specifically holistic health and nutrition. It’s a combination of my two expertise: nutrition + content creation!

As a FNTP with a strong passion for real food + balanced nutrition, I’ve always kept this account as an educational resource for you. And as a fun creative outlet for me, as well!

But, I’m here to say, it’s time for a new direction. As my content creation business continues to grow and as I become more invested as a Content Creator, it only feels right to bring a little bit of my profession to this space! 

So while I still plan to share nutritional tidbits and encouragement, I also want to use this platform as a resource for my content creation business.

Sound good?

If you’re a fellow FNTP or nutrition professional, feel free to reach out for content creation support! 

And, if you’re here for nutritional education, thank you for being here and participating in this awesome community!! 💛

    STOP SKIPPING BREAKFAST & DRINKING BLACK COFFEE ON STOP SKIPPING BREAKFAST & DRINKING BLACK COFFEE ON AN EMPTY STOMACH 🛑

*said with grace and love*

Seriously, I spent years sipping on black coffee before eating breakfast. But, not anymore. 

Here’s what happens when you skip breakfast and drink black coffee every morning:
👉🏼 The caffeine (AKA stimulant) spikes your blood sugar levels.
👉🏼 Your body moves into fight-or-flight mode, increasing stress hormones.
👉🏼 A couple hours later, the cravings and yawns kick in, so you binge on sugar and *more* coffee.

And in case you’re thinking, “I seem to feel just fine after drinking black coffee and skipping breakfast,” there’s a good chance your body is living on stress hormones and relies on the caffeine to keep your body functioning. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news 😬

Soooo, what should you do instead for a healthy metabolism & happy hormones?

Eat a balanced breakfast with protein, carbs, and fat, FIRST. Ideally, within an hour of waking up. Then, enjoy a cup of fresh coffee (preferably with high quality cream or milk) ☕️ 

TBH, there’s nothing better than a hot cup of coffee with frothy, raw milk 🤩 what’s your coffee order?

And, yes, my shirt says “you’re the pumpkin to my spice” because ‘tis the season 🎃 *from @hannahmcmorrison

    I eat carbs at every meal! 🍎🥖🥔🫓🥛🍫

Here’s why…

Our bodies NEED carbohydrates for: 
• Physical energy
• Brain power
• Muscle repair and growth
• A healthy gut microbiome
• Metabolic efficiency 
• Healthy digestion 
• AND SO MUCH MORE

This is especially true when you’re exercising and strength training regularly!! 💪🏼

Some of my favorite carb sources are:
• Fresh sourdough bread 
• Sweet potatoes and red potatoes 
• Squash and carrots
• Seasonal fruit 
• Honey and maple syrup 
• Raw milk
• Cassava tortillas and pasta 
• Homemade baked goods with cassava flour
• Dark chocolate 

What are your favorite carbs?! 😋

    As someone who aims to as many real, whole foods a As someone who aims to as many real, whole foods as possible (and always GF), I’ve learned a thing or two about “healthy baking.” Here are the swaps I always make in my baked goods for healthy hormones, metabolism, and tastebuds! 👇🏼

• Grass fed (raw, if possible) butter instead of oil 
• @bobsredmill 1-to-1 GF flour instead of all purpose flour
• Raw sugar, coconut sugar, honey, or maple syrup instead of white sugar 
• Substitute a little bit of the flour with protein powder or collagen (usually about 10% of the total flour)
• Grass fed (raw, if possible) milk > nut milk
• Cassava, oat, or GF blend flour > almond flour

Save this post to refer back to this season! And, happy baking 🧁🍪

    5 “healthy” habits that actually cause MORE st 5 “healthy” habits that actually cause MORE stress in the body…

1. Drinking coffee on an empty stomach
2. Working out fasted 
3. Limiting consumption of fruit and natural sugars
4. Opting for “low fat” foods
5. Drinking a gallon of water daily.

All of these habits add excessive stress to the body and can eventually lead to symptoms of burn out and physiological imbalances, like:
PMS
Weight gain
Acne
Insomnia
Chronic fatigue
AND SO MUCH MORE

Sometimes, our bodies need us to intentionally do LESS, not more. If you’re in a constant (physical or mental) state of stress, this means YOU!

Did you know these “healthy” habits could be detrimental to your health?
