How to make lazy mac & cheese bites<\/h2>\n
This works really well if you baked your mac and cheese in a casserole dish because it\u2019s already densely stacked, however if your mac and cheese was refrigerated in a bowl, that\u2019s absolutely fine. The shape doesn\u2019t really matter too much once you cut them into pieces.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Remove the entire lump of mac and cheese from its container and onto a cutting board. Use a sharp knife or serrated blade to slice the macaroni into 1-inch slabs. Turn the slabs and cut them again into 1-inch thick sticks, then decide if you want to cut them again into shorter sticks, or even into cubes. Scatter them into a preheated 400\u00b0F air fryer on the \u201cair fry\u201d setting, with at least a half-inch of space between them so they don\u2019t melt together. Air fry the cubes for eight minutes, and sticks for 10 minutes, or until crisp and well browned on the corners. Cool the mac and cheese nuggets on a wire rack for a few minutes before devouring.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nThese bites brown beautifully, and since they\u2019re already loaded with cheese from the original recipe, you don\u2019t have to add a single thing to get a crisp frico-like outer coating. Even the exposed pasta edges crisp-up nicely. If you used a good deal of cheddar in your mix, or topped a baked mac with cheddar, then you\u2019ll get the Cheez-It flavor I\u2019m talking about.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The bites are crusty on the outside, but the interior is tender and soft. It\u2019s a huge reward for doing almost no work. These would be great as a party hors d\u2019oeuvres since they\u2019re easily hand-held. I like my mac and cheese bites plain, but I wouldn\u2019t fault you for serving these at a party with a bowl of french onion dip.<\/p>\n
