Air Fryer Frozen Onion Rings

One of the first dishes that I ever made was frozen onion rings. The first time I made them, I was so disappointed. I put aside my air fryer for about a week, and then came back to them, basically because my youngest was like please mom, can I have some onion rings. Obviously, I agreed and the rest is really history.  But doesn’t everyone love a good Air Fryer Frozen Onion Ring?

So, if you are like me, which you probably are since you are reading my website, you are always looking for something to make for dinner. Usually something out of the freezer or what you have in the pantry. I always keep a bag of onion rings in the house, because they go with almost everything.

Even if I am grilling the steaks, they go perfect, and who has time to preheat the oven, anyways.

Here Is The Foolproof Recipe For Air Fryer Frozen Onion Rings–

Step 1

Start by preheating your air fryer, to 350 degrees. F. Now, if you do not have a preheat button, simply set the temperature to 350 degrees F, for 5 minutes.

Step 2

Add your frozen onion rings to the basket. Now, the important thing is not to crowd your basket. As they will not air fry evenly.  Note: You probably will not be able to make the entire batch in one air fry run.

Step 3

Air fry for about 4 to 6 minutes.  If you have a basket air fryer, shake the basket, about halfway through. If you have an oven air fryer, use tongs and flip the onion rings. Remember the Air Fryer is HOT!

Step 4

Plate, serve, and enjoy!
