🍯 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 ready to eat.
🥘 Ingredients
Ingredient Notes:
French toast sticks- Use your favorite brand (or use homemade french toast sticks). I like to use the Aldi brand, but any of them will work just fine. Note that you do NOT need to thaw them beforehand.
For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.
🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Place your frozen french toast sticks in the air fryer. You'll want them to lay in a single layer without touching. Cook for 3 minutes at 400 degrees F.
Step 2: Flip the sticks over and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Step 3: Serve warm with maple syrup, and enjoy!
🍴 Recipe Tips
Don't want plain french toast? You can make this recipe using the cinnamon sugar french toast sticks! They'll taste incredible!
Flipping the french toast 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 sticks can be reheated but they don't taste as great 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
They 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. These 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.
