Today, we're tackling the burning question (pun intended): How long does it REALLY take to air fry those glorious sticks of Walmart breakfast bounty?
The Great Preheat Prophecy: Vorbereitung Macht Frei (Preparation is Freedom...or at Least Faster French Toast)
First things first, preheating is your air fryer BFF. Think of it like a pep talk for your appliance.

Operation: Golden Goodness - How Long to Air Fry Those Frozen French Toast Warriors
Now, for the moment of truth. Here's the intel you crave:
- Temperature: 400°F (that's 204°C for our international comrades) is your air fryer's sweet spot for French toast domination.
- Time: This is where things get interesting. The golden window for air-frying glory falls between 5-7 minutes. But fear not, fellow breakfast warriors! Just like any good battle plan, vigilance is key.
Here's the play-by-play:
- At the 5-minute mark, crack open your air fryer and peek at your troops. Are they sporting a beautiful golden tan? Excellent! Serve those bad boys up and enjoy your victory.
- Still a little pale? Don't fret! Re-enlist them for another minute or two, checking on their progress regularly. Remember, every air fryer is a snowflake (okay, maybe not that dramatic, but you get the idea). Cooking times can vary slightly.
Important Note: Avoid overcrowding the battlefield! Leave space between your French toast sticks so the hot air can circulate freely. This ensures maximum crispiness and prevents a soggy mutiny.
