how to make them

steps to make fried Oreos in the air fryer
  1. Separate your crescent rolls and lay them on a piece of parchment paper.
  2. Place an Oreo on each piece. I like to put them on the wider end to prevent leakage.
  3. Gently wrap the Oreos in dough, covering all sides, and place them in your air fryer basket or on your air fryer tray!
  4. Cook your wrapped cookies for about 5 minutes at 350 degrees F (or 177 degrees C!) until the crescent rolls are golden brown.
  5. Remove Air Fried Oreos from the basket and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  6. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Portioning Tips

This recipe makes 8 Air Fried Oreos because there are usually 8 crescent rolls in a can.

You can easily double or even triple this recipe for a party! Make them in batches and don’t overcrowd your air fryer.

storing for later

Air Fried Oreos will last about 24 hours and can be stored in the fridge overnight. After that, they’ll start to get soggy.

They may last a day or two longer if you put them in a container with a paper towel to help absorb the humidity.

History of Fried Oreos

The deep-fried version was first introduced at the L.A. County Fair in 2002 thanks to Charlie Boghosian or “The Man Who Fries Everything.”

Typically, fried Oreos are surrounded by a buttermilk pancake batter and fried in vegetable oil.

We cut the calories considerably with this air fryer recipe. It still cures that fair junk food craving!
