Why two portions is the sweet spot

Two servings of most things sit in a single layer in a 4-5L basket with room for air to move. That is the condition every air fryer recipe depends on, and it is the reason two-person cooking rarely needs batching.

Push to four portions and you are either crowding the basket or running two rounds. Neither is a disaster, but two is where you get the best result with the least fuss.

Cooking a main and a side for two

Two protein portions take up about half the basket, which leaves room for a side alongside if they share a temperature. Two salmon fillets and a handful of asparagus at 200°C / 400°F is a complete meal in 10 minutes.

Keep them in separate halves rather than mixed, and put quick-cooking vegetables in partway through so both finish at the same time.
