📋 Ingredients and notes

You'll literally need a box of frozen French toast sticks and potentially some olive oil spray if you want to spray the bottom of your air fryer.

I also topped my air fryer French toast sticks with some maple syrup, powdered sugar, and berries!

This is possibly one of the simplest recipes ever, but there are a few tips and tricks below this section to make sure you get it just fluffy.

• Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. I find that a preheated oven style air fryer helps cook the French toast sticks more evenly.
• You can spray your air fryer basket or tray with some cooking oil spray. This is optional. If you don't want to use non-stick cooking spray, but your air fryer tends to stick (or you want to make it easy to clean up), you can line the bottom with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
• Place sticks in a single layer, with an enough space between them so they don't overlap. Air fryer cooks by circulating hot air around the food, so spacing them out is important.
• Air fry the French toast sticks at 400 degrees F for 6 minutes. Check after six minutes to make sure it's the consistency you want, and cook another minute if you need or until done for best results. Air fryer ovens tend to take a minute extra in my experience (compared to air fryer baskets). Cook times do vary on air fryers, so make sure you adjust to your taste.

Serve with maple syrup, powdered sugar (or cinnamon-sugar mixture), and some berries or your favorite toppings! Hard to beat easy air fryer French toast sticks, eh?

If you have opened a box, and have uncooked French toast sticks leftover, just throw them in a freezer-safe bag or a freezer safe container and pop them in the freezer until you need to eat them again.
