    I have to admit that I love cooking frozen foods in the air fryer. Crispy onion rings are one of my favorite recipes. Air frying onion rings is quick and easy. Not only am I going to show you how to cook frozen onion rings in the air fryer, but I am going to include my onion ring sauce recipe.

    If you are interested in a sampler platter air fryer frozen french fries and air fryer frozen eggrolls are great. The air fryer heats up quickly and cooks even faster. Great for making a quick appetizer or snack for guests.

    These onion rings are great to have in your freezer. They make a great side dish for a burger or even a steak. I sometimes cook up just a couple onion rings to use as a topping for a tasty burger.

    If you want to impress your guests make a bunch and pile them up making an onion ring tower. Accompany them with my homemade onion ring sauce and your guests will be happy and it is a lot of fun to eat.

    Ingredients

    • Alexia Frozen Onion Rings
    • Ranch Dressing (For Sauce)
    • Creole or Cajun Seasoning (For Sauce)

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions

    I am going to show you how to cook frozen onion rings in air fryer. It is easy and takes less than 10 minutes. While the onion rings are cooking I will also show you how to make my tasty onion ring sauce that compliments these onion rings perfectly.

    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 Cook Frozen Onion Rings in the Air Fryer?

    5 to 6 Minutes.

    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.

    What Temperature to Cook Onion Rings in the Air Fryer?

    350 Degrees Fahrenheit

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

    How Can I Make Onion Rings Crispier?

    Aldo no oil is needed to make frozen onion rings in the air fryer there may be a time where you want them even more crispy. A good way to achieve this is to spray the onion rings with a bit of oil. It can be Olive Oil but I prefer Avocado Oil. A thin layer of oil helps things get crispier.

    What are some of the Best Frozen Onion Rings?

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

    What is a Good Dipping Sauce for Onion Rings?

    There’s a lot of good things to dip air fryer onion rings in. I personally like my onion ring sauce that I’m going to share below but some other dipping sauces you can use are below.

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

    How to Reheat Onion Rings?

    350 Degrees Fahrenheit for 2 – 3 Minutes is what works for me. I am always using the Alexia Brand Onion Rings and just a few minutes to reheat is all they ever need. They will even be crispy!

    Equipment and Kitchen Essentials
