Why are my onion rings dry?

Some brands don’t add as much oil in the coating, which can lead to the onion rings turning out a bit drier. If this is the case, lightly spray the onion rings with olive oil or vegetable oil using an oil mister . Don’t use aerosol spray cans as these can damage your air fryer.

What if my air fryer doesn’t have a “preheat” option?

If your air fryer doesn’t have a preheat option you can still make frozen onion rings. Add 3 - 5 minutes of cooking time and check the onion rings frequently until they are done cooking.

Why are my onion rings burnt?

Every brand of air fryer will vary slightly even if they are set to the same settings. When making these onion rings for the first time, check the onion rings in the last few minutes several times to make sure they don’t burn.

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 350F. Set the timer to 5 minutes.
Once preheated, add the frozen onion rings straight from the freezer to the air fryer.
Halfway through cooking, use tongs to flip the onion rings, or shake the air fryer basket.
Once golden and crispy, use tongs to remove the onion rings from the air fryer. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (optional).

Notes

* Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket. You probably won’t be able to make the whole bag of onion rings at once.
Don’t use Pam or other aerosol sprays. Aerosol sprays can cause chipping in your air fryer. Use a mister such as this evo aerosol mister instead.
Adjust the cooking time based on the size of the onion rings. For extra large or thick onion rings, you may need to add a couple minutes. For thinner onion rings, check them a couple minutes before the cooking time is finished to make sure they don’t burn.
