Air Fryer Oreos

AIR FRYER OREOS are simply amazing! They’re every bit as good as the fried Oreos you’d get from the fair, but they’re a little healthier and a whole lot cheaper in the air fryer. Plus, you can make them at home in minutes.

I love fair food! I would happily eat elephant ears and funnel cake all day and just skip the rides.

Of course, my favorite of all the deep fried foods is deep fried Oreo cookies! The crispy outer coating gives way to a soft, almost melty cookie. It’s seriously so surprisingly good.

With a major craving for some deep fried Oreos the other day, I set out to test making these in the air fryer. This made my day as I got to eat more than a few deep fried Oreos while testing! 😉

The secret to making these so easy to cook is to use a canned roll of crescent dough.

• Keep an eye out for the tube that says ‘crescent dough sheet.’ This means the dough is just one big sheet instead of being already cut in triangles.
• Cut the dough sheet into 10 squares.
• Wrap an Oreo with each square trying to make sure the Oreo is fully covered and the dough equally thick on all sides.
• Spray all sides of the wrapped Oreos with cooking oil and place in air fryer. <— You can skip this if you want to cut calories/fat a bit, but it does help give it that fried vibe!
• 4 minutes later, pull them out and coat them in powdered sugar.

Tips for making air fried Oreos:

• These are best served hot from the air fryer. They’ll keep, covered, for a few days, but they definitely turn more into an Oreo stuffed biscuit vs. a fried Oreo after they’ve fully cooled down.
• We haven’t tried reheating these, but if you do, I’d recommend doing so in the air fryer for a minute or two. Like most ‘fried’ food…these are best served immediately.
• The traditional way to eat these is coated with powdered sugar. You can substitute the topping with whatever you like. Another popular option is a cinnamon-sugar blend.

Air Fryer Tips and Notes:

I don’t have enough experience with each of the many dozens of air fryers on the market. However, I will tell you which one I use and it is the OMORC Air Fryer XL. This one is almost 6 quarts which is perfect for our family of four and I can put it in the dishwasher after each use without worrying about ruining it.

Also, I have learned not to use an aerosol can non-stick spray. Instead I use a mister and pump vegetable oil into my air fryer. The aerosol can product can damage your air fryer basket over time.
