Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Preheating helps the sticks crisp faster and prevents sogginess.

Arrange the sticks in a single layer. Don’t stack. Leave a little space between pieces so the air can circulate. Work in batches if needed.

Optional: Lightly mist with oil. If your brand looks a bit dry or you like extra-crispy edges, a quick spray helps with browning.

Air fry for 6 minutes. Pause and check. Give the basket a shake or flip the sticks for even color.

Cook 2–4 minutes more. Total time is typically 8–10 minutes, depending on brand and thickness. You’re looking for a golden-brown exterior and a soft, steamy center.

Rest for 1 minute. This brief pause helps the coating set and keeps fingers from burning.

Serve warm with dips and toppings. Maple syrup, fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar are easy wins.
