Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time15 minutes
Servings: 2 people

Ingredients

  • 14 oz frozen breaded onion rings
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese dressing optional
  • 1/4 cup honey mustard optional
  • 1 tsp cilantro fresh, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.
  • If desired, spray the air fryer basket lightly with cooking spray. Arrange the frozen breaded onion rings in a single layer in the basket without overlapping; stand some on the edges if needed so air can circulate.
  • Air fry the onion rings at 375°F for 3 minutes.
  • Toss the basket or gently flip the onion rings with tongs or a spatula, then continue air frying for an additional 2–7 minutes until golden brown and crisp to your liking.
  • Transfer the cooked onion rings to a serving dish, sprinkle with cilantro if using, and serve with blue cheese dressing, honey mustard, or your preferred dip once they have cooled slightly.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Tongs

Notes

  • Nutrition varies by brand of frozen onion rings.
  • Place rings in a single layer for best crispiness.
  • Lightly spray the basket only if your air fryer allows it.
  • Cooking time may vary by model; adjust for desired crispness.
  • Stand rings on edges to improve air circulation in a full basket.
