    Air fryer frozen waffles are golden and crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. Whether standard or thick cut, these won't disappoint. They're the modern way to make this breakfast classic.

    I love waffles, but I don't love the cleanup. That's why I opt for frozen waffles. Making them in the air fryer ensures they're perfect every time, and they're done so fast!

    Frozen Waffles in the Air Fryer

    This was inspired by my air fryer frozen sausage patties recipe. I needed something to go with them, after all. They pair well with this delicious air fryer bacon wrapped breakfast sausage recipe or our amazing twisted bacon!

    Ingredient

    You only need one ingredient to make this recipe. That's right, it only takes one ingredient and I don't count cooking spray!

    • Frozen waffles - regular size or thick
    • cooking spray

    See the recipe card at the end of the post for quantities.

    Instructions

    Making these waffles couldn't be simpler. You'll be in and out of the kitchen in less than 10 minutes.

    Step 1: Prep

    Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees and spray your basket with nonstick cooking spray.

    Step 2: Air Fry the Waffles

    Place the frozen waffles in a single layer in the air fryer basket and air fry. Cook regular waffles for 5 minutes and thick waffles for 6 minutes.

    Hint: Be sure to spray your air fryer basket so the waffles don't stick.
