Air Fryer Frozen Onion Rings

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

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.
