    These air fryer frozen onion rings cook quickly. So quick that in fact these onion will be done cooking in the time it takes to preheat your oven. It took 5 minutes for these onion rings to cook in the air fryer. Pair them with my onion ring sauce for dipping it is fantastic.

    How to Air Fry Frozen Onion Rings

    I am going to show you how to air fry frozen onion rings. While the onion rings are cooking it is a good time to make my onion ring sauce.

    Air fryer frozen onion rings cooking step 1

    Step 1 – I do not preheat the when I make these onion rings. I also do not flip the onion rings. Do not crowd the air fryer basket. Proper airflow makes crispier onion rings.

    Step 2 – While the onion rings are cooking I mix up some onion ring sauce. I combine some ranch dressing, creole seasoning, and some ketchup. (Measurements in recipe card)

    Step 3 – Time to eat! Just look how crispy and beautiful these onion rings come out. I think these are just as good as deep frying. They are great as a side dish or even if you are just cooking up a couple to top a burger.

    Hint: Do NOT crowd the Air Fryer basket. Better airflow makes better onion rings. These Air Fryer Liners (affiliate link) help make cleanup a snap.

    How Long to Air Fry Frozen Onion Rings?

    How long to air fry frozen onion rings depends on how crispy you prefer them. I find that 5-6 minutes is perfect.Make sure that the onion rings are not overlapping and that there is adequate space in between for proper air circulation. Proper spacing will ensure even cooking and crispier onion rings.

    I find that I do not need to preheat the air fryer when cooking frozen onion rings. Cooking times can vary between air fryer brands, but 350 degrees Fahrenheit is the most common temperature to air fry onion rings.

    What are the Best Frozen Onion Rings?

    Below are what I consider to be the best frozen onion rings in the air fryer. I have tried many and they are NOT all the same.

    • Alexia Onion Rings (These are my favorite)
    • Beer Battered Onion Rings from Trader Joes
    • Nathans Famous Onion Rings

    Onion Ring Sauce For Dipping

    There are a lot of good things to dip air fryer onion rings into. I personally like my onion ring sauce recipe that is shared in the recipe card below but some other dipping sauces you can use are included.

    • Ranch Dressing
    • Ketchup
    • Blue Cheese Dressing
    • Tartar Sauce
    • Onion Ring Sauce (Homemade recipe in the recipe card below.)

    How to Reheat Onion Rings in Air Fryer?

    Preheat air fryer to 350 Degrees Fahrenheit
    Reheat Onion Rings in the Basket 2-3 Minutes.

    How to Store Onion Rings

    How Do I Reheat Onion Rings in an Air Fryer?

    If you have leftovers because you made too many the air fryer is great for reheating onion rings. Reheat onion rings in the air fryer at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 2-3 minutes.
