Preheat your air fryer to 320 degrees F (160°C) for 3-5 minutes. Some models may not require preheating, so refer to your specific device's manual.
If the scones are clumped together, gently separate them. Optional: Lightly spray the scones with a cooking spray for a more golden finish. You can skip this step if you're wary of adding extra oil.
Place the frozen scones in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Ensure they're not touching to allow for proper air circulation. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the scones in batches.
Cook the scones at 320°F (160°C) for 15-20 minutes. The exact timing might vary depending on the size of the scones and the specific air fryer model.
Halfway through the cooking process (around 8-10 minutes), flip the scones or gently shake the basket to ensure even cooking.
The scones should be golden brown on the outside with a firm touch. If you're unsure, you can also insert a toothpick in the center of one scone; it should come out clean or with just a few crumbs.
Once done, carefully remove the scones from the air fryer (they will be hot!) and place them on a cooling rack for a few minutes.
