Blackstone Griddle Onion Rings (Frozen)
Description
:Crispy frozen onion rings made two ways on a Blackstone — right on the flat-top griddle or in the Air Fryer Drawer. No deep frying, ready in about 17 minutes, and the perfect crunchy side for smash burgers, hot dogs, and brats.
Ingredients
- 20 ounces frozen onion rings, (any brand)
- Oil spray, for crisping (optional — avocado, canola, or vegetable oil)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt, to taste
Instructions
Method 1 — On the Flat-Top Griddle
- Preheat the griddle to medium-high (about 375°F) for 5–10 minutes, until the surface is evenly hot.
- Spread a thin layer of oil on the griddle, or lightly spray the onion rings instead.
- Arrange the frozen rings in a single layer so they aren't touching. Work in batches if needed — crowding steams them.
- Cook 10–12 minutes total, turning with tongs every 2–3 minutes, until golden and crisp and heated through.
- Season with salt while hot and serve immediately.
Method 2 — In the Air Fryer Drawer (Blackstone Combo)
- Preheat the Air Fryer Drawer about 5 minutes at 400°F.
- Add the frozen onion rings in a single layer in the basket.
- Air fry about 10 minutes, shaking the basket 2–3 times so they crisp evenly.
- Remove when golden and crispy, salt to taste, and serve.
Equipment
- Blackstone griddle or flat-top grill (or Blackstone Griddle Combo with Air Fryer Drawer),
- Tongs or griddle spatula
- Oil sprayer or squeeze bottle
Notes
- Cook straight from frozen — don't thaw, or the breading won't hold.
- A single, uncrowded layer is the key to crunch.
- Keep finished batches crisp in a 200°F oven on a wire rack.
- Great with ketchup, ranch, BBQ sauce, or spicy chipotle mayo.
