My sister-in-law in Phoenix said something about frozen food that changed my air fryer game

She was over for dinner and saw me pulling a bag of frozen fries from the oven. She just said, 'You know, your air fryer will do that in half the time and they'll be way crispier.' I had only used mine for fresh stuff like chicken or veggies, so I never even thought to try frozen things. I gave it a shot with some frozen potato wedges, and she was totally right. They were done in about 12 minutes and had that perfect crunch I could never get from my regular oven. Now I use it for all sorts of frozen stuff, from onion rings to those little mini tacos. It feels like I unlocked a whole new part of the machine. What other frozen foods have you guys had good luck with in the air fryer?

You said you pulled fries from the oven, but that's the key thing. An air fryer is basically a small, super powerful convection oven. So it's doing the same job, just way faster because the hot air moves around the small space so quickly. That's why frozen stuff works so well, it gets that heat blast from all sides.

Frozen pizza rolls are a game changer in the air fryer. Gets that crispy shell without the soggy middle. @the_charles has a point about the convection thing, but the basket shaking makes a big difference too.
