How to air fry frozen french toast sticks
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (195°C).
- Add the frozen french toast sticks to the basket. Keep them in a single layer with a little gap between each stick.
- Cook for about 7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Pro tip
Shake or flip halfway; dust with powdered sugar straight out of the basket.
How to tell when it's done
They only need warming through and crisping up, so look for golden, slightly crisp edges and a hot center - about seven minutes at 380°F (195°C), shaking the basket halfway. A dusting of powdered sugar straight out of the basket finishes them off.
Converting from an oven recipe
If your recipe is written for a conventional oven, lower the temperature by about 25°F (15°C) and reduce the time by roughly 20% to land near 380°F for 7 minutes. Need a different starting point? Use the conversion calculator.
Air fryer frozen french toast sticks: FAQ
Are frozen french toast sticks already cooked?
Some are and some are not, and only the bag will tell you which you have. It is easy to assume they work like a frozen waffle - finished at the factory, frozen, and needing nothing but warming - and several brands do. Others do not: Farm Rich's own directions say the sticks are not ready to eat until they have been cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and Eggo sells its version as a toaster item that has to be toasted before eating. The odd part is that this makes no difference to the timing. Seven minutes at 380°F (195°C) suits both, so the same basketful is either being dried and re-crisped or genuinely cooked through, and nothing about the outside tells you which. What it changes is when you are allowed to stop. If your bag names a temperature, treat the golden crust as the start of the check rather than the end of it: break one open, and if the middle is merely warm, give them another minute or two rather than serving them. The guidance above - heat them through until piping hot - is the right instruction for the ones that arrive already cooked. If your bag is stricter than that, follow the bag.
How long does it take to air fry frozen french toast sticks?
Air fry frozen french toast sticks at 380°F (195°C) for about 7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. That's for 6-8 sticks in a single layer; adjust slightly for a fuller basket or a different model.
What temperature do you air fry frozen french toast sticks at?
Set the air fryer to 380°F (195°C). If you're converting an oven recipe, that's roughly 25°F (15°C) below the oven temperature, with the time cut by about 20%.
Can you cook french toast sticks from frozen in an air fryer?
Yes - there's no need to thaw. Cook straight from frozen at 380°F (195°C) for about 7 minutes.
