How-To-Make Frozen Onion Rings In An Air Fryer

Jump to Recipe

Onion rings are a popular side dish that can be eaten with various dishes. They are crispy, flavorful, and perfect for dipping in any sauce. And the best way to do that will be using an air fryer rather than frying them in oil. Air frying onion rings will be much healthier than frying them in oil.

The one thing I love about air fryers is that it’s super easy and fast to cook in an air fryer. Be it frozen food or fresh food. And these onion rings are no different. You can cook them up in far less time than frying or baking them in an oven.

The first time I cooked frozen onion rings in the air fryer was for 15 minutes, the curious cat inside me made me look at them within 5 minutes, and to my surprise, it was already done. Did I mention that we do not need oil to cook them in an air fryer?

Why You Will Love This Recipe?

  • Healthy: Using an air fryer is entirely healthy; we don’t even need oil to make them crispy. Place them in the air fryer basket and watch the magic happen.
  • Mess-Free: one of the best reasons would be cleaning the air fryer. Even more manageable if you use air fryer liners.
  • Easy and Fast: And most importantly, it’s much faster than baking and frying. I get amazed every time at how fast they cook food every time.

How An Air Fryer Works?

An air fryer is basically a mini convection oven that sits on your countertop. An air fryer cooks with oil rather than oil.

An Air fryer has a heating element on top that circulates hot air through a fan around your food. This makes your food crispy from the outside, keeping the juiciness and moistness on the inside.

Important Ingredients Used In The Recipe

  • Frozen Onion Rings: any brand of frozen onion rings is fine. And most importantly, you don’t have to thaw them before cooking.
  • Oil: this is totally optional. I prefer not to use it. But if you want, you can go ahead and brush a little bit of oil on the onion rings.

See the recipe card for complete instructions

Preparation: Place liners in the air fryer basket. You can skip this part if you do not have liners. Preheat the air fryer to 200C (400F). I have worked with the oven so much that I started preheating my air fryer as well. I find it that it cooks faster this way. You can cook without preheating the air fryer.

Place the Onion Ring In The Basket: Place frozen onion rings in one layer. Refrain from overcrowding so the onion rings will cook evenly. You can brush some oil on the rings if you want.

Cook: Cook for 7-8 minutes or until it’s perfectly crispy. Flip the onion rings halfway through the cooking. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of your onion rings and the strength of your air fryer. So keep an eye on them. After 7-8 minutes, check the onion rings if they are cooked to your liking or not. If not, then cook again for 2-3 minutes.

Serve: Carefully remove the onion rings with the help of tongs. Repeat with the remaining frozen onion rings. Serve hot and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.

Chef’s Tip For The Recipe

Cook in Batches

Do not overcrowd the air fryer. It is best to cook the frozen onion one layer to ensure even cooking. Shake the basket halfway through to make sure that both the sides are cooked. If you want your frozen onions to be crispier, then you can cook them for 2-3 minutes more.

Tip For Oil

As every air fryer comes with a nonstick coating, it is not necessary to use oil for cooking food, but if you feel dicey, you can just brush some oil on them.

“I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date”
Before this program I knew a little about manifestations, but as I discovered during the program, I had a lot of limiting beliefs that kept me from fully embracing and accepting myself as a manifestor.
During this program I became more aware of what manifestation is and how powerful I am. I become more aware of my guides, of my highest self and that I can pull the best of my highest self into my present. Since this program I no longer wrestle with trying to convince myself that what I desire will happen. I know that it has happened, it is done and it is mine, here and now. I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date, my eyesight has improved and I no longer need glasses for distance vision, only for reading, I gave myself a make-over as part of my commitment to my renewal and I began to de-clutter my space.

“My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes”
Joining “The Art of Manifesting” was a life-changing decision for me. This is now the third time going through the quest and focusing on different areas of manifestation.
Regan is a powerful guide and she walks the talk.
This 28-day journey was a blend of practical techniques and profound energetical activations. I learned to visualize my goals clearly, expand my possibilities, and overcome the limitations holding me back from living a life i desire. The quest’s unique approach to identity hacking helped me align my inner self with my aspirations, making the manifestation process more effective and authentic.
The biggest takeaway for me was the acceleration of manifestation by bending time and tapping into the highest frequencies. The techniques taught in the quest enabled me to see results much faster than I expected. My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes, and goals that once seemed unattainable are now within reach.
I’m beyond grateful for the wisdom and tools I’ve gained from this quest and Regan. It’s not just about manifesting; it’s about transforming your entire lifestyle. I highly recommend “The Art of Manifesting” to anyone looking to turn their dreams into reality.

“This course and listening to Regan’s podcasts gave me the tools to acknowledge my blocks and mindsets around drinking”
I have so enjoyed this journey with Regan, I am a new person as a result of this quest. I now have new beliefs & mindsets that I keep working on daily, hourly. A kinder and more compassionate version of me has emerged over this journey, and I love her!
This quest has resulted in me finding the lost me, the me that has been hidden under the voices of doubt, fear or just lack of awareness that I get to run my life not the other voices in my head or family and people around me. When we wire ourselves to the future version of us, then we make different choices and we are already a different person!
Thank you Regan, thank you Mindvalley, thank you tribe!!!! ❤❤, I love you all and wish you a magical Christmas and hope our paths may cross one day at Mindvalley events.

“My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest”
Before taking this Quest I believed that the prerequisites of success were hard work, long hours, timing and a degree of luck; “1% inspiration and 99% perspiration” was my mantra. Trying to achieve success with this mindset was exhausting, frustrating and unsustainable.

 

I then discovered The Art of Manifesting … and was blown away.

 

The foundational teaching of focusing on your inner world to achieve has been transformative in the way I live my life. I now know that cultivating the feeling of already being in possession of that which you want, accelerates the manifestation of what you desire.

 

My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest, and have discovered a path to manifest greater abundance in the year to come. But perhaps the biggest shift I experienced during this quest now knowing that I am worthy and deserving of abundance. Regan, I am eternally grateful to you, thank you :-)

“Now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered”
Before this program, I believed somewhat in manifestation but never knew how to do it, or if it was real, and the little bit I did know ended up being completely wrong! This Quest has not only taught me how to manifest and put me on the path to doing it the right way, but I was actually able to manifest what I had set at the beginning.
I never thought it would actually come true, but I committed myself to the process and gave it 100% every day. And now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered. It’s truly blowing my mind.
I had a financial goal for the end of the Quest, and different opportunities for selling my artwork started coming up, and the deals are coming out almost to the exact number I had set.
Not only that, but I have truly transformed into a better version of myself in these short weeks, more than I had in the last few years, that my spouse has even noticed.
I’m so excited for what’s to come next and so grateful for this program. Thank you.

“I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design”
I joined Mindvalley on New Year’s 2023. I am excited to share how life has significantly changed in the first 90 days of the year. Beginning with the Silva Method, I envisioned and transformed a dysfunctional personal relationship, into a loving, caring separation, allowing me the peace and serenity to follow my path, and my partner to choose his. In February while on the Art of Manifesting Quest I listed my intent to have a book written by May 2023, and have a speaking engagement booked by December 2023.
I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design, and a journal for Women seeking a deeper connection with themselves, also in design. Both will be uploaded via KDP Amazon self-publishing by May 1st.
I have booked a speaking engagement for May with the intent of having published books with me for sale.
Most importantly – this morning I changed my profile from ‘Document writer’ to ‘Author.’
Gratitude abounds!!!
