From-Frozen Onion Rings

By:

Ingredients
  • 1-pound frozen onion rings do not thaw
  • ½ cup finely grated Parmigiano- Reggiano cheese 2 ounces
Instructions
  • Set the machine to "Air Fry". Set the temperature to 400°F / 205°C and the timer to 18 minutes (which will be a little more than you need). Press Start.
  • When the machine beeps, indicates "Add Food", or is heated to the proper temperature, pour the frozen onion rings into the basket or onto the tray in as close to a single layer as possible. You can put small rings inside larger ones. Some can overlap, but they shouldn’t be stacked two and three deep. Use separate trays or work in batches as necessary.
  • Air-fry, undisturbed and ignoring any "Turn Food" indicator, until the rings are hot and visibly crunchy, about 13 minutes. If you’ve used multiple trays, swap them top to bottom at about the halfway point of the cooking process.
  • Gently toss or rearrange the onion rings and sprinkle the cheese over the top of them. Continue air-frying undisturbed until the cheese has melted and even browned in spots, about 2 minutes.
  • Select Cancel and use a nonstick-safe spatula to pick up bunches of the onion rings, transferring them to a serving platter. (Or to a fine-mesh wire rack if you’re intent on preserving every molecule of crunch.) Cool for a couple of minutes before serving hot.
  • Toss the frozen rings with almost any dried spice blend in a medium bowl before putting them in the air fryer. Our favorite is a dried Italian seasoning blend. Pluck the rings out of the bowl with nonstick-safe kitchen tongs to get them into the machine as directed. Before you add the grated cheese, toss it with the remaining dried seasoning blend left in the bowl.
