It's quick and easy to make frozen French toast sticks in the air fryer. Learn how to make my favorite air fryer frozen French toast sticks and creative serving ideas!
You know those mornings when you want something quick and easy? I love having a box of frozen French toast sticks. They make whipping up breakfast fast. And I find that the air fryer is the best way to cook French toast sticks. It's fast, easy, and they turn out SO good.
When I make these for my kids, I serve with berries and powdered sugar. My kids feel like it's such a treat. And it is! But one that's easy to make. And that I can even make on school mornings.
Even the smell is amazing. It gets them out of bed and excited to start the morning! Such a win.
Ingredients
- Frozen French toast sticks
- Oil
- Berries (optional)
- Powdered sugar (optional)
How to make frozen French toast sticks in the air fryer
Take however many frozen French toast sticks from the package as you want to cook.
Brush or spray the air fryer basket/tray with oil to prevent French toast sticks from sticking. I typically just use olive oil and brush it on. If spraying, make sure you use a spray that is safe for air fryers.
Add French toast sticks a single layer to your air fryer.
Air fry at 400 degrees F for 6 minutes. Check and see if French toast sticks are browned enough. You may want to add an extra minute or two depending on how much you want them cooked.
Plate, and serve with whatever toppings you want! I dusted these with powdered sugar...
And then added fresh berries. My kids couldn't wait to dig in.
Serving ideas
The frozen French toast sticks can be served in so many ways after air frying. Here are a few ideas.
- With powdered sugar and berries
- Topped with air fryer apples
- Served with warm maple syrup for a dipping sauce
- Served with whipped cream and sprinkles
- Just eaten as is! A lot of French toast sticks are already sweetened, so you can also just enjoy without any extras.
Recipe tips
- All air fryers cook differently. Check to make sure French toast sticks are done to your liking, and adjust cook times as needed. Cook times may also vary based on the brand of frozen French toast sticks you use.
- If preheating the air fryer (which I don't do for this recipe), you may want to reduce cook time to 4-5 minutes, as the hot air fryer will cook the French toast sticks more quickly.
Do you need to preheat your air fryer?
I actually don't recommend preheating your air fryer to make the French toast sticks. A bonus, that saves you preheating time!
I've tried preheating and not preheating, and my French toast sticks seem to always cook better and more consistently when I don't preheat my air fryer.
That's why I recommend just adding them to a cold air fryer.
