Air fryer frozen french toast sticks may not be as quick as a microwave, but they sure are tastier! These golden French toast sticks will be crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and perfect for dipping in maple syrup.
French toast sticks are such a deliciously nostalgic treat for me, but cooking them up in the air fryer brings them a new life, thanks to modern-day technology. Making frozen French toast sticks in the air fryer is simple and easy, perfect for a no-hassle breakfast.

Why This Recipe Works
- It's easy! Plop the sticks in the fryer, cook, flip, and cook a little more. This recipe is simple and so easy to make that you may find it on the menu a few times this week.
- You can make several servings at once. In the microwave, you can only cook a few on a plate at a time (according to the package directions). In the air fryer, you can cook as many as you can comfortably fit in the basket. Perfect for heating up everyone's food at one time instead of shuffling plates in and out of the microwave all morning.
- It's not time consuming. While this recipe does take a tad longer than using the microwave, it still doesn't take too long. Within 5 minutes, you can have a few servings worth of french toast sticks ready to eat.

🍴 Recipe Tips
Don't want plain french toast sticks? You can make this recipe using the cinnamon sugar french toast sticks! They'll taste incredible!
Flipping the french toast sticks over halfway through cooking helps to make sure that all of the sides end up nice and crispy.
You do NOT need to thaw them before use.
You will want to lay the frozen sticks in the air fryer so that there is no overlapping, as that can lead to cold spots.
You do not need to grease the air fryer basket before use.
Different air fryers may cook at different speeds, so you may find that your french toast needs an extra minute or shorter cooking time, depending on the air fryer you use.
🍳 Reheating
To reheat any leftovers, simply place them in the air fryer basket and heat at 350 degrees F for 2-3 minutes or until warmed through and crispy. Enjoy!
🥗 Side Dishes
Some great side dish ideas include any of your favorite breakfast side dishes from scrambled eggs to hashbrowns and fresh fruits.
👩🏻🍳 Storage
I recommend only making the french toast as you are prepared to eat them because they taste best when fresh. Leftover french toast sticks can be reheated but they aren't as great tasting as freshly cooked ones.
Keep your leftovers in an airtight container or gallon sized Ziploc baggie in the fridge for up to 4 or 5 days. This could be great for meal prepping.
💭 FAQs
Your french toast sticks should be finished cooking in about 5-7 minutes depending on the temperature used and how thick your frozen toast sticks are.
Frozen french toast sticks are not ready to eat until after they've been fully cooked at home. The internal temperature should reach a minimum of 165 degrees F.
Yes. French toast sticks are the same as french toast, except that instead of being served up as a full slice of bread, it's several strips, about an inch thick. Imagine taking a slice of bread and cutting it into 4 long strips, and that's pretty much the only difference.
