Ingredients
1 Chef Ramsay Four Cheese Macaroni (frozen)
Cooking spray or parchment liner (to prevent sticking)
Optional Add-Ons & Extras:
Shredded Parmesan or extra cheddar cheese for an extra cheesy top
Crushed crackers or toasted breadcrumbs for a crispy topping
Cracked black pepper or smoked paprika for added depth
Chopped fresh parsley or green onions for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. This ensures even heating while keeping the cheese sauce smooth.
Step 2: Prepare the Frozen Mac & Cheese
Remove the mac & cheese from the box and plastic film, keeping the food inside its tray.
Lightly cover the top with foil to prevent the cheese from over-browning before the inside is fully heated.
Step 3: Air Fry the Four Cheese Macaroni
First Round: Cook at 350°F for 12-14 minutes with foil on top.
Second Round: Remove the foil and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the top is slightly crispy and golden.
Cheesy Finish: Sprinkle extra shredded cheese on top in the last 2 minutes for a melty, gooey topping.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Carefully remove the mac & cheese from the air fryer and let it cool for 1-2 minutes before eating.
Garnish with chopped parsley, black pepper, or a dash of smoked paprika for extra flavor.
How to Serve This Four Cheese Macaroni
Classic Comfort Meal: Serve with a side salad or garlic bread.
Crunchy Upgrade: Add toasted breadcrumbs or crushed crackers on top.

Pro Tips for Best Results
Cover with foil for the first 12 minutes to prevent excessive browning.
For an extra crispy top, cook uncovered for an additional 2-3 minutes at 375°F.
Want extra creaminess? Stir in a tablespoon of milk or heavy cream before serving.
For a smoky, bold flavor, mix in bacon bits or smoked gouda before heating.
