These air fryer frozen French fries are an easy, super quick, and healthier way to make crispy French fries right at home! Way better than frying or baking! One of the original things I learned to make in my air fryer were these air fryer frozen fries. With little to almost no oil, air fryers have made it possible for me to enjoy my all-time favorite snack without feeling
guilty about it being super oily (compared to my favorite fast food fries). Plus, it's always a crowd pleaser and comes together in just 20 minutes! This post contains helpful tips and tricks! If you're in a rush, please use the "Jump to

You can add other seasonings, of course, or spray oil on the fries before air frying, but this is optional. Devour those fries with your favorite dip! Pair with a delicious Korean street toast or a savory toast with egg-in-hole. Homemade fries are the best, but if you're going the frozen fries route, I have a few tips to make sure you get perfect, crispy fries each time (and the healthier way at that!) Here's a rough guide to help you figure out how long it might take to cook different types of frozen fries. How long do you have to cook your frozen fries in the air fryer? I use a Breville air fryer (which is toaster oven style) before I pop my fries in. If you use a basket air fryer, fries will be done in~ 15 minutes (vs. 20 mins for toaster air fryers). This will also depend on the size of your air fryer, so treat these tips as general guidelines. What seasonings can I use? Oh, the sky is the limit with these crispy French fries! Many times, I'll just use salt. But you can add ranch, garlic powder, onion powder, a spicy chili rub seasoning, Cajun seasoning, buffalo seasoning (like in this awesome air fryer buffalo cauliflower) and so many more! My favorite seasoning for air fryer fries has to be straight old salt. Do I need to preheat my air fryer? No, you don't! But sometimes, depending on the shape and type of fries, this might increase the cook time based on your air fryer. π΄ Serving and storage suggestionsThese fries will last 1-2 days in the fridge in an airtight container. To store, let them first cool to room temperature. Then, transfer them to an airtight container or better yet, a zip top bag, and squeeze excess air out. To reheat, set the air fryer or oven to 400Β°F and then throw them in for 4-5 minutes. I find that air frying or reheating in the oven both produce the same crispiness while reheating. I don't recommend heating them in the microwave. If you like this recipe, check out my other air fryer recipes:
