Air Fryer Frozen Churros

Hot, crispy churros from frozen in about 10 minutes — no pot of oil, no mess, just cinnamon-sugar crunch. The air fryer gives you that signature crackly outside and soft center, ready to dunk in chocolate sauce.
It's the easiest dessert win there is: straight from the freezer to the basket to the table. Great for a sweet craving or a last-minute treat.

Air fry
Place the frozen churros in a single layer, spray lightly with oil, and air fry at 400°F for about 8–10 minutes, turning and spraying again halfway, until golden and crisp.
Coat
If they aren't pre-sugared, toss the hot churros in the cinnamon sugar right out of the basket.
Serve
Serve warm with chocolate sauce for dipping.
- Don't thaw — cook them straight from frozen for the best texture.
- Toss in cinnamon sugar while hot so it sticks.
- A single layer gives you all-around crunch.
