One food I’ve been loving lately is frozen onion rings in the air fryer. No oil needed to make these. If you don’t want to read the whole entire post please use the Skip to Recipe Feature at the top of the post.
If you're ever stuck in a rut for dinner sometimes appetizers are the way to go and that is what is so great about the air fryer. They cook any frozen appetizer so fast. Costco or Sam's have many great frozen appetizer selections. Have these onion rings with chicken taquitos, buffalo wings, spinach dip and chips, frozen mozzarella sticks, or even crab rangoons, etc. Let me know when dinner is so I can make it. 😉

Tips for using Air Fryers
The air fryer is so great for cooking simple basic food like air fryer steak, air fryer hard-boiled eggs, and air fryer bacon. Cook up some air fryer chicken breasts for the week and use it chicken quesadillas.
Overcrowding: Do not overcrowd the basket. Place items in a single layer in the air fryer basket or some food will not cook properly or all the way through.
Use a spray oil such as Pam to get food extra crispy and to save on calories.
Use parchment paper on the bottom of your air fryer for easy clean up.

Onion rings also go well with Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets or a nice Air Fryer Steak.

Love your easy directions for your recipes. I have just been included in the air fryer family and can't wait to try some of these recipes. My air fryer though is included in the microwave too, plus baking.... (No baskets). So it's a 3 in one ( microwave, air fry, and bake machine). So everytime I read "drop food in baskets" I'm wondering if temp and time will be different. I know ...all recipes vary with different air fryers. Lol
Soooo here goes checking out and air frying your delicious recipes. Will check back soon!
Any advice would be appreciated !! Thank you
