Cooking Frozen Foods in the Air Fryer

The air fryer is the best kitchen appliance for cooking frozen foods. Forget the oven — your air fryer cooks frozen food faster, crispier and with less energy. Here's everything you need to know.

🍟
Frozen Chips & Fries
Cook frozen chips at 200°C for 16–20 minutes, shaking halfway. No preheating needed, and they come out crispier than the oven every time.
🍗
Nuggets & Tenders
Chicken nuggets: 200°C for 10–12 minutes. No oil needed — the coating crisps perfectly in the circulating hot air.
🐟
Fish Fingers & Fillets
Frozen fish fingers: 190°C for 10–12 minutes. Breaded fish fillets: 190°C for 14–16 minutes. Crispy outside, flaky inside.
🥟
Spring Rolls & Dumplings
Spring rolls and samosas: 190°C for 10–14 minutes. Spray lightly with oil for an extra golden finish.
🍕
Frozen Pizza
Small frozen pizzas fit perfectly in most air fryers. Cook at 180°C for 8–12 minutes for a perfectly crispy base.

Key Frozen Food Tip
Always add 3–5 minutes extra to the packet cooking time. The air fryer cooks faster than an oven but frozen food still needs that extra time in the centre.
