Frequently asked questions (FAQ's)
You can use any brand or variety of frozen onion rings for this recipe. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time and temperature according to the package instructions.
No, I don't recommend refreezing any leftovers. They just won't taste good frying a second time. Eat and enjoy!
Deb's tips for the perfect dish
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Arrange the frozen onion rings in a single layer. Leave space between each one to ensure they cook evenly and get crispy.
- Serve them immediately after cooking for the crispiest results!
How to store leftovers
Refrigerate - These onion rings are best enjoyed fresh and crispy, but if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Reheat - To reheat, place the onion rings in the air fryer and cook at 375°F for 3-5 minutes, until heated through and crispy.
More great appetizers and dips
I'm such a fan of finger food and keeping it easy is definitely how to roll! Here's a few easy favorite recipes to enjoy if you're putting out a spread for the Super Bowl:
- Puffy Tacos - easy, crunchy and everyone's favorite!
