Frozen onion rings made in your air fryer are the best onion rings you have ever had! Crispy air fryer onion rings are the healthier version of the deep fried onion rings served at your favorite restaurant.

This is an easy air fryer recipe that I am able to let my kids make with minimal supervision.
While you have your air fryer out you are going to want to make my recipe for philly cheesesteak egg rolls, and a few goat cheese medallions to add to your salad throughout the week. Don't forget to bookmark my Thanksgiving egg rolls and buffalo chicken dip egg roll recipes. All are air fryer friendly.

📝 Ingredient notes:
- Frozen onion rings come in a variety of flavors and from many manufacturers. Find a brand or variety that you will love.
- No extra oil is needed. The manufacturer of your frozen onion rings will have oil as part of the ingredient list. The air fryer will heat that oil and 'fry' your onion rings with the circulating heat.

Cook time, temperature and doneness will vary depending on the brand of frozen onion rings you use, along with the brand of your air fryer.

2. Add frozen onion rings to the air fryer basket or tray in a single layer or only fill the basket halfway.
3. Air fry the onion rings for 5 minutes.
4. After 5 minutes, flip the onion rings or shake the basket.
6. Air fry for an additional 4 minutes or until your desired crispness is reached.
7. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
♨️ Reheating Instructions
One of my favorite ways to use my air fryer is to reheat my french fries and onion rings from my favorite restaurants and fast-food place.
Preheat your air fryer to 350 and add your onion rings to the air fryer. Reheat for 5 minutes or until they are sizzling.
I have also put my leftover onion rings in a cold air fryer and then preheat the oven to 350. By the time the air fryer has heated, the onion rings are reheated. Results will vary.
📝 Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:
You do not need to thaw frozen onion rings first. The frozen onion rings are made to be the crispiest when they are cooked straight from frozen.
Be sure your frozen onion rings are in a single layer in the air fryer basket tray if using an air fryer oven and no more than half full if using an air fryer basket. There needs to be space for the hot air to circulate.
