Tips & tricks
Preheat the air fryer for the very best results
Don't defrost the onion rings, cook them straight from frozen
Don't overcrowd your air fryer basket - it's fine if the rings overlap slightly, but you shouldn't have multiple layers. If you're making a lot, cook them in batches.
Turn the onion rings halfway for an even cook
Adjust cook time depending on the size of the rings - this can vary a lot! I find 6 minutes is great for smaller rings, and larger ones need 9 minutes.
Cook time can vary with different air fryers
Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days - but I recommend not air frying more than you will finish
