Frozen Onion Rings In Air Fryer

Onion rings has been one of my guilty pleasures since childhood. I love the crispy coating and the lovely taste of rings of onion from the centre. Even better if they are served with a yummy dipping sauce.

But onion rings are not just for restaurants and are fantastic for making at home. Especially in the air fryer, as it crisps them to perfection.

You can also mix and match with your favourite onion rings such as air fryer beer battered onion rings, or breaded onion rings if you prefer. Though if I could choose the best air fried frozen onion rings it would be any that are battered. Because you can’t cook fresh battered air fryer food as the batter just slips off but you can with frozen.

Today, we are going to be sharing with an easy frozen onion rings in air fryer recipe, along with how long to cook frozen onion rings in air fryer, so that you will have the best ones every time.

Can You Air Fry Frozen Onion Rings?

Yes, you can. Frozen onion rings in the air fryer are amazing. They have a wonderful crunch like deep fried and you can’t just eat the one. You can cook frozen onion rings from frozen with no need to thaw prior to cooking. Also, because they are not messy like homemade onion rings you can cook them with other things in the air fryer basket at the same time.

Best Frozen Onion Rings For The Air Fryer?

The best frozen onion rings for the air fryer are beer battered onion rings, or any in batter over breadcrumbs. These type of onion rings give the best crispy texture when cooked in the air fryer. Once you try air fried onion rings, you wont want to return to oven baking them.

What About Frozen Onion Rings In Ninja Air Fryer?

If you have a Ninja Air Fryer, then you will love cooking onion rings from frozen in it. You can use the Ninja Foodi and then add them to the basket and then use the air fry button.

However, if you have a Ninja Dual air fryer (like we do) then you can cook air fryer frozen onion rings in one drawer, then another favourite in the 2nd drawer such as some air fryer frozen mozzarella sticks or some air fryer frozen chips.

Onion Rings – You can use beer battered onion rings (our favourite) breaded or any other favourite of yours. You can also do a full bag or make use of some leftovers that you have.

Oil – Of course, you can go without, and this is more aimed at those cooking frozen breaded onion rings in the air fryer. A spray of extra virgin olive oil helps with the crispy texture, but its totally optional.

Can You Recommend An Air Fryer?

I often get asked which air fryers I recommend and which one I use. In 95% of our air fryer recipes, we use either the Philips Air Fryer XL or the Cosori XL because they are the best ones, we have found out of many air fryers we have tried over the years. You can click on the links above and read up on them. But if you would rather have a dual air fryer we recommend this Ninja Dual (make sure you order the right one as not all are good) or the Philips Dual.

    Thanks for the tips in my email questions. I did eventually cook these and like you said they were crispy and delicious with some dipping sauce.

  2. 4 stars
    I just needed to turn my air fryer up as my first lot came out soggy but then followed how you did yours and turned out so crispy thanks.

  3. 5 stars
    I tried your other onion ring recipe where you have to make them and they turned out great but it is too much like hard work for me so these are a great alternative!
