    How to Cook Frozen Onion Rings in Air Fryer

    1. Add a few sprays of cooking spray to the bottom of your air fryer basket.
    2. Add a single layer of frozen onion rings to your air fryer basket. Stacking will cause some of the onion rings to cook unevenly, instead, cook multiple batches if needed.
    3. Set your air fryer temperature to 400°F/200°C and cook for 4 minutes.
    4. After 4 minutes, remove the fry basket and shake it around a couple of times, if you're cooking large onion rings, use tongs and flip them over, this will help to promote even cooking, and it will help stop the onion rings from sticking to the fry basket.
    5. Replace the fry basket and cook for another 4 minutes at the same temperature.

        If it doesn't have a warm-up function, set it to 180°C and let it run for 1.5-2 minutes.
