Preparing Air Fryer Frozen Onion Rings is a great way to get used to your new Air Fryer. In just a few minutes, you can enjoy, hot and crisp Onion Rings.
One of the most popular food to fry in a deep fryer, after French Fries, of course, are Onion Rings! The perfectly cooked onion surrounded by a crispy and hot bread coating is just so yummy.
Deep frying is messy and very caloric and cooking onion rings in the oven, generally make the coating kind of hard and chewy.
I was given the Ultrean 8.5 Quart Air Fryer, so I have been trying out various food. I’ll post a recipe for homemade onion rings very soon. Today, I am using frozen onion rings and in just a few minutes, the onion rings were completely cooked and perfectly browned.
Please feel free to join the Facebook Air Fryer Recipe Group, where we share recipes, methods and fun.
I used one half bag of Ore Ida Onion Ringers, but this fryer can hold one bag or more.
Dump them into the basket of the air fryer.
You will note that the basket has a protective locking mechanism so that you won’t drop the drawer on the floor.
My last air fryer did not have the locking mechanism and the first thing I did, was pick up the basket and the drawer fell to the floor.
Push the French Fry button and adjust time to 7-8 minutes, depending on how crisp you like your onion rings.
You do not need to preheat when using the Ultrean 8.5 Quart Air Fryer or Ultrean 8.5 Quart Air Fryer!
Serve the Onion Rings along with my Better than Bloomin’ Onion Ring Dipping Sauce.

Heating up a bag of frozen food. How is the even a recipe? IF I could leave you negative 10 stars, I would.

It isn’t as much a recipe as it is instructions for temp & time for a frozen food we all have in our freezers. I appreciate posts like this & am sure others do too.

Googled how to air fry onion rings. It brought me to one of my favorite instant pot sites. All I needed to know was the time and temp. Got that and a killer dipping sauce also!

Why ELSE would the onion rings be FROZEN?? If you weren’t looking for an air fryer recipe for “FROZEN ONION RINGS” then why are you even reading this recipe? I think I can speak for the rest of the readers when I say the ONLY frozen onion rings I know of, come PRE-MADE, in a bag or other type of container! Jill, I had never made frozen onion rings in my air fryer, the suggestion booklet is packed away in storage with the box, and your recipe was EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you so much!
