Steps

  1. 1

    Place frozen dino nuggets in a single layer in the air fryer basket — no oil needed.

  2. 2

    Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.

  3. 3

    They're done when golden-brown and crispy on all sides.

  4. 4

    Serve with an assortment of dipping sauces.

💡

Tip: Don't thaw them — cook straight from frozen for the crispiest results. Don't overcrowd; a single layer with slight gaps ensures even crisping. They're done 2-3 minutes faster than oven directions.
