Our free air fryer frozen food cook times chart PDF printable is here. We will share the temperature and timing for cooking frozen foods in Ninja Foodi air fryer recipes or in your Cosori too.
We shared our air fryer cooking times chart a few years ago. That covers the basics but doesn’t go in depth as far as air fryer frozen food cook times. So here it is y’all! I mean you should grab both so you can keep them all handy on your fridge, that way you’ll be a pro in no time.
Ninja Foodi Frozen Food Cook Times
It doesn’t matter what brand you have at home. I am guilty of having three. Seriously I have an AirWave, two Cosori machines, and a Ninja Foodi as well. The latter one uses air fry mode for these and works the same way. An Instant Pot air fryer lid works too, just doesn’t cook as much at a time.
When you are making any and all easy air fryer recipes the biggest tip, you experts already know, is to NOT overlap your food. No matter what brand you have, or shape of your basket you always want to lay food in a single layer to get it as crispy as humanly possible.
Air Fryer Cheat Sheet for Frozen Food
Ok so a lot of people may refer to these as cheat sheets. Totally valid since you can keep them handy and in a quick glance know what temperature air fryer frozen corndogs takes for instance.
If you do have two machines or a double drawer like our Ninja dual zone air fryer you can make your main dish and sides at the same time! I love that since we are always on the go and sometimes don’t get home until right before everyone is “dying of hunger”.
How Long to Cook Frozen Food in Air Fryer
With this chart you can take a quick look at how long it takes to cook frozen chicken breast air fryer in one, and if you have another, cook frozen cauliflower air fryer. I mean talk about a game changer y’all. Compared to how long a conventional oven takes, this has allowed our family to eat together a lot more often which is the goal right?
What you want to remember is that many times the oven temperature listed on the bag or box is many times about right for this machine too! You do want it high to get it crispy. If it sits with lower heat the foods will begin to defrost, soften, and there is no recovering to get that crunch you want.
There are TONS of quick and easy meals you can create by swapping a few together throughout the week. I do have a air fryer Facebook group you can join which shares ideas specific to air fried frozen foods and defrosted. It is free to join too so why not?

Should you defrost frozen food before cooking in the air fryer?
NO and no again. The research with foods meant to be kept frozen is that the timing is specific to it going straight from the freezer into your heat source. If you have a Foodi I have one that is specific to that one as well so you can grab them all. Print Ninja Foodi cook times here if you’d like.
