Instructions

  • Keep the onion rings frozen and remove them straight from the freezer. Lightly spray with EVO oil if desired for extra crispiness, and preheat the air fryer to 400°Fahrenheit (200°Celsius).
  • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with EVO oil to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
  • Place the frozen onion rings in a single layer in the basket without overlapping. Cook in batches if needed so air can circulate properly.
  • Air fry at 400°Fahrenheit (200°Celsius) for 7 minutes, checking halfway to ensure even cooking.
  • Flip each onion ring with tongs, then air fry for another 7 minutes at 400°Fahrenheit (200°Celsius) until golden and crispy. Serve hot with dipping sauce.
