Frozen waffles in air fryer

Meenakshi
Making frozen waffles in an air fryer is as easy as it can get. You can make multiple waffles at a time unlike the toaster and do not have to wait for it to preheat like oven. Air fryer waffles are quick, easy, and perfectly crispy on the outside with soft interiors. It’s high time to ditch the toaster and start air frying the frozen waffles.

Equipment

  • air fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 4 frozen waffles

Instructions
 

  • To make waffles in an air fryer, simply place frozen waffles straight from the freezer in the air fryer basket. Make sure to place them a little apart so that there is room for air circulation.
  • If you have an oven-style air fryer, with two-level cooking, make use of only one rack. Place as many waffles as you can comfortably fit on the center rack.
  • Then set the air fryer temperature to 375 0F. Air fry the medium-sized waffles for about 3-5 minutes or until hot and crispy. Halfway through the cooking time, do flip the waffles for even crisping on both sides.
  • Remove from the air fryer and serve warm as your heart desires. (Refer to the recipe post for suggestions and ideas)
  • Thicker and larger waffles will take 6-8 minutes to air fry evenly on both sides.

Notes

  • Adjust the air fryer timing depending on the type of waffles. The frozen waffles come in various sizes and thicknesses. The mini waffles will air fry much faster than the large and thick waffles. 
  • Do not place the waffles very closely. They need space for air circulation. The simple rule is not to overcrowd the waffles in an air fryer. 4-5 are max. for an 8qt basket style air fryer.
  • If you are using an oven-style air fryer, use only one shelf at a time. 
  • There is no need to flip the waffles in such air fryers. But if you are using an air fryer that has a basket, you should be turning them halfway through the cooking time. 
  • If you are unsure if the waffles are fully cooked through, look for a brown color on both sides. Alternately you can use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should be more than 205 degrees F (more than 96 degrees C). 
  • Every air fryer is different. So, test to find the perfect time for your air fryer.
