Cooking Techniques
Air frying frozen french toast sticks is super easy! The hot circulating air creates a lovely crispy outside while keeping the inside warm and soft. The best part? You don’t need to thaw them first – they go straight from freezer to air fryer. Just remember to leave some space between each stick so the air can flow freely around them.
Serving Suggestions
Make your french toast sticks extra special with fun toppings! While maple syrup is a classic choice, you can try fresh whipped cream, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or a dollop of Nutella. Fresh fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or sliced bananas add lovely color and natural sweetness. For a morning treat, serve them with a cold glass of milk or hot coffee.
Quick Tips
Want the best results? Give your air fryer basket a quick spritz with cooking spray before adding the french toast sticks. This helps them get extra crispy and prevents sticking. Keep an eye on them during the last minute of cooking – some air fryers run hotter than others, and you want them golden brown, not dark brown. If you’re making several batches, keep the finished ones warm in your oven at 200°F until ready to serve.
