You don’t have to stop at lunch though. Uncrustables also make an excellent mid-day or evening air fryer snack.

How To Air Fry Uncrustables

  1. Take the Uncrustables out of their packaging. You definitely don’t want to put any paper or plastic in the air fryer.
  2. Add the frozen sandwiches to the air fryer basket in a single layer. You can cook 1-4 sandwiches, depending on how hungry you are or how many people you’re feeding lunch to.
  3. Air Fry at 350°F/180°C for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the bread is lightly golden.
  4. Enjoy the air-fried Uncrustables while they’re hot!

Looking for more Crisp? Add Butter!

Here’s a fun thing to try: Add a light spread of butter to the top, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar after the uncrustable comes out of the air fryer! This trick turns your peanut butter or hazelnut Uncrustable into a decadent dessert that’s almost like a donut.

Tried Uncrustable donuts?

Tiktok made me do this too!

  1. Take any flavor uncrustables (try chocolate hazelnut, peanut butter and honey, or any of the peanut butter and jam versions) and let them thaw just enough to punch a hole in the middle. Use anything you have that will cut a 1-inch circle.
  2. Spray the uncrustable donut with cooking spray, or spread it with butter.
  3. Cook in the air fryer using the instructions below, flipping the donuts halfway through. They are done when they are crispy and browned.
  4. While the air fryer uncrustables are still hot, dip both sides into powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar. Yum!

FAQs

Can I air fry thawed uncrustables?

Yep! For a thawed Uncrustable, reduce the cooking time in the air fryer. Start with 3 minutes, check on your sandwich, and add more time if needed to get it nice and toasty.

Can I air fry uncrustable bites?

The newest items from Smucker’s Uncrustables line are three varieties of microwavable “bites“.
We haven’t had a chance to try these just yet, but I would suggest 350°F/180°C for 6-8 minutes. Check for doneness and add additional time if needed.

Can I air fry uncrustable roll ups?

The roll up sandwiches from Uncrustables are not sealed in the same way that the round sandwiches are, so I don’t recommend air frying them. The cheese would end up melting and falling to the bottom of your air fryer, and that would make a mess!
