How Long To Cook Frozen Onion Rings In Air Fryer

I love my onion rings crispy and golden-brown on the outside and that's the finish I go for when air frying.

How long to air fry frozen onion rings in air fryer generally takes about 8-10 minutes at 400F/200C. If cooked at a lower temperature than above, it will take longer to cook. Do not set the temperature higher than 400F/200C, as the onion rings might burn on the outside instead of having golden-brown outer.

For it to be crisp, it is best to air fry onion rings in their frozen state. Don't thaw!

Also don't overcrowd the air fryer. This allows the onion rings to cook evenly. 

What To Serve With

Dipping sauces: Ranch, Tar Tar, Ketchup, Onion Ring sauce…

How To Store and Reheat

They are best eaten immediately cooked so make the quantity required. I don't recommend storing, however, if there are leftovers you can refrigerate. They will go soggy but you can reheat them to crisp them back.

In the fridge:

Put leftovers in a Ziploc bag or airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

In the freezer:

First, let the onion rings cool down. Place them in a tray in a single layer and freeze for 1 hour. Remove onion rings from the tray and arrange them into an airtight container or Ziploc bag. Label and freeze for up to 3 months.

To Reheat:

The best way to reheat it is in the air fryer. Whether the leftovers are refrigerated or frozen, preheat the air fryer to 350F/175C.

Place leftovers into the air fryer basket and air fry for 5 minutes or till they are crisp and heated through.

Tips

  • Use a trusted brand for a delicious outcome.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. You will not get a crispy consistency on the outside nor evenly cooked ones if overcrowded. I recommend not to fill the basket more than halfway.
  • If you need to make a large quantity, you can cook them in batches.
  • Do not thaw before air frying. Thawing will make the result soggy so cook them from frozen.
  • Reheat at a lower temperature so that the inside can get warm and the outside crispy without being burnt.
