Air Fryer Frozen Onion Rings

The air fryer is great at quickly cooking some frozen onion rings. They are the perfect easy side dish.

Once ready, the batter on the onion rings will be crispy and have a lovely crunch. The onion itself will be hot and taste delicious. They go best with a couple of condiments, such as ketchup and BBQ sauce.

The brand of onion ring you buy will dictate how good this dish will turn out unless you are cooking homemade frozen onion rings. Try and get your favorite brand for the best result.
