Curly fries cook so much faster in an air fryer compared with a conventional oven. Even better, thanks to using an air fryer to cook frozen curly fries, you won’t need to heat up your entire kitchen.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO COOK FROZEN Curly FRIES IN AN AIR FRYER?

Each air fryer will be slightly different, but on average it only takes about 13-16 minutes to get crispy fries at 380F/193C. If you like your curly fries extra crispy, you can cook them longer, but check for any potential burning by minute 8.
