Easy air fryer breakfast
We love to use the air fryer to cook frozen store-bought foods because it's a great replacement for the oven, deep fryer, and toaster. The hot air rotates similar to a convection oven to evenly crisp your food.
Everything gets hot and crispy in just a few minutes, and it's much better than a microwave, which can make frozen foods soggy and chewy.
When made in the air fryer, these great value frozen french toast sticks are healthier and crispier than cooked on the stove or in the oven. All while using less oil and with minimal cleanup.
What type of air fryer should I use
There are so many different brands of air fryers on the market to choose from. The Ninja Foodi is a favorite because of its price and ease of use.
This recipe will work with whichever air fryer you have. Just remember to watch your french toast as it cooks, since each air fryer heats food at a slightly different rate.
The biggest thing to keep in mind when cooking them is to not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Place the french toast sticks in a single layer so that they don't overlap or touch that way they can get crispy instead of sticking together.
