It’s officially the middle of summer, so I had to share 10 Greek recipes for hot days with no oven required. Just an air fryer, pan or bowl, and you’re on your way to a delicious meal that will keep your kitchen cool while it heats up outside.

Summers are hot and busy, and preparing flavorful meals isn’t always easy. I use my air fryer quite a bit to help with this. They’re smaller, generate less heat overall, and you’re kitchen won’t heat up. Try a Quick Kotopita: Greek Air Fryer Chicken & Phyllo Pie, the Perfect Air Fryer Beef Shawarma & Briam Vegetables, or crispy Greek Mushroom & Feta Phyllo Spirals in the Air Fryer. I also rely on one-pan meals, like my Juicy Roasted Chicken in Tomato Marinade, creamy Spinach & Feta Pasta, The Juiciest Chicken Burgers with Sweet Potato Wedges, or super easy Warm White Bean & Chicken Salad.
Of course, the easiest way to keep your kitchen cool is with cool, refreshing salads. You’ll need to cook the orzo for my Summertime Mediterranean Orzo Salad, and the lentils for light, hearty Loaded Lentil Greek Salad, but you don’t need to cook a thing to pull together my White Bean Salad with Feta. So, use this full list of 10 Greek Recipes for hot days to say, “no” to the oven and, “yes” to cool summer days.
