Onion rings are a Friday-night thing in our house, and they crisp up golden with the onion gone all soft and sweet inside. They're quick, so I keep them in one layer and give them a shake.
How to air fry frozen onion rings
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Add the frozen onion rings to the basket. Keep them in a single layer.
- Cook for about 8 minutes, flipping or shaking halfway through.
Pro tip
Give them room so the coating crisps all over.
How to tell when it's done
I take them out when the coating's an even golden all over and the onion's soft. They catch quickly right at the end, so I keep watch.
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 375°F for 8 minutes. Need a different starting point? Use the conversion calculator.
