Crispy Dino Nuggets in the Air Fryer: Quick, Easy, and Kid-Friendly

Learn how to make perfectly crispy dino nuggets in an air fryer! This simple recipe is perfect for busy parents, picky eaters, or anyone craving a fun and delicious snack. Ready in just 10 minutes!

  • Total Time: 10-12 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bag (24 oz) frozen dino nuggets

  • Cooking spray (optional, for extra crispiness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for 3-5 minutes.

  2. Arrange the Nuggets: Place the frozen dino nuggets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding.

  3. Cook: Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the nuggets halfway through for even cooking.

  4. Check for Crispiness: If the nuggets aren’t golden brown yet, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

  5. Serve: Let cool for a minute, then serve with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

  • No Preheating? If your air fryer doesn’t have a preheat function, run it empty at 400°F for 3 minutes before adding the nuggets.

  • Avoid Overcrowding: Cook in batches if needed to ensure crispiness.

  • Extra Crispy: Lightly spray the nuggets with cooking oil before air frying for an even crispier texture.
