How To Reheat Leftover Fries Using the Air Fryer
Step 1: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (177°C) for 3 minutes.
Step 2: Add the leftover fries in a single layer into the basket of the air fryer.
Step 3: Air-fry leftover French fries for 3-4 minutes, or until they are fully reheated. Toss the fries halfway through.
Step 4: Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately.
Tips
- Don’t overcrowd: Try not to pile too many fries into the air fryer or they may take longer to crisp up and cook unevenly.
- Toss during reheating: Make sure to toss the fries halfway through the reheating process to ensure they are cooking evenly and crisping up.
- Adjust time if needed: Thicker-cut fries will need to reheat for longer intervals. Adjust the cooking time as needed.
