    There’s just something about French toast sticks - especially the frozen kind that you can toss in the air fryer and have hot and crispy in under 10 minutes. Whether you’re running late or meal-prepping breakfasts for the week, these are a total lifesaver.

    As someone who tests everything in the air fryer like these Air Fryer Frozen Waffles, I can tell you: the air fryer is hands-down the best way to cook frozen French toast sticks. No sogginess, no waiting for the oven to preheat, and way better texture than the microwave.

    Why You’ll Love This Recipe

    I've had this bag of frozen French toast sticks in my freezer from Aldi that I've been wanting to test for a long time now, and I finally did this weekend. They were so yummy and almost reminded me of a churro. If I wanted a complete breakfast I'd top them with Greek yogurt from Costco and an Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs.

    • Crispy outside, fluffy inside – no soggy microwave mess here
    • Ready in 6–8 minutes – perfect for busy mornings or lazy weekends
    • WW and kid-friendly – check your brand for points; they’re easy to fit into your day
    • Great for air fryer beginners – literally just pop them in!

    Ingredients needed for Frozen French Toast Sticks in Air Fryer.
    • Frozen French Toast Sticks – Any brand works! I used Aldi’s Brekki or Eggo sticks.
      • Substitution tip: Gluten-free or protein-rich versions also work great.
    • Optional Spray Oil – A light mist of avocado or olive oil spray if you want extra crisp.
    • Syrup, yogurt, or fruit for serving – Add your favorites for dipping or topping. My favorite is blueberries or strawberries.

    Substitution Tips

    • No oil? You don’t need it! But if your air fryer tends to dry things out, a quick spray helps.
    • WW-friendly? Look for low-sugar or high-protein brands—some have 3 points per 2 sticks.
    • Dairy-free? Choose a dairy-free brand or make your own using almond or oat milk French toast sticks.

    Step 1 Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (optional but helps them get super crispy).
