Description

Crispy and golden air fryer frozen onion rings cooked to perfection in just 20 minutes. This easy recipe uses a simple bag of frozen onion rings and a light spray of cooking oil to create a deliciously crunchy snack or side dish without the mess and extra oil of traditional frying.


Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 (14-ounce) bag frozen onion rings
  • Non-stick cooking spray


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Air Fryer: Start by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) if your model requires preheating. This ensures the onion rings will cook evenly and get crispy.
  2. Arrange Onion Rings: Place half of the frozen onion rings in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to avoid overcrowding. This allows for optimal hot air circulation and crisping. Lightly spray the onion rings with non-stick cooking spray for a golden finish.
  3. Cook First Batch: Air fry the onion rings at 400°F for 8-10 minutes. About halfway through the cooking time, flip the rings to ensure even browning on both sides.
  4. Repeat for Remaining Onion Rings: Remove the cooked onion rings from the basket and set aside. Repeat the process with the remaining frozen onion rings, spraying lightly and air frying for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. Serve Hot: Once all onion rings are cooked, serve immediately while hot and crispy for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure crispy onion rings.
  • Flipping the onion rings halfway is crucial for even crisping.
  • Use non-stick cooking spray sparingly to avoid sogginess.
  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model.
  • For extra crispness, add a light spray of oil after flipping.
