Equipment

  • air fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz Frozen onion rings

Instructions
 

Step 1 Preheat the air fryer

  • Start by preheating the air fry. Set the air fryer temperature to 400 oF (about 204 0C) and let it preheat with an empty basket for 4 minutes.

Step 2 Air fry onion rings

  • After 4 minutes open the air fryer basket and place the frozen onion rings in the basket spaced evenly.
  • Set the air fryer temperature to 400 oF and put the timer to 8 minutes.
  • After air frying for 4 minutes, open the basket and flip the onion rings using silicon or wooden tongs. Then close the basket and air fry for another 3-4 minutes or until they become golden brown and crispy.
  • Please note that the frozen onion rings cook very quickly in a preheated air fryer. So, keep a close eye.
  • Take them out of the air fryer and serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce of your choice.

Notes

  • Do not bother to defrost frozen onion rings. Most air fryer recipes cook best from frozen. 
  • If you are doing a big batch, do not overcrowd them. Overcrowding food in an air fryer basket is a recipe for disappointment. Place onion in a single layer and leave space for air circulation.
  • Since these frozen onion rings air fry very fast, stay close by, and keep an eye. Open the basket at 4 minutes to see how much more time they need.
  • Do not forget to flip or rotate them halfway through the cooking time. This ensures even cooking and crunch on all sides.
  • Use air fryer silicone mats or parchment paper for mess-free cooking.
  • Bake option in an instant pot is another novel way to make frozen onion rings. But the air fryer is certainly quicker and better.
