Helpful tips for the best Arby’s fries
- You can get 1 serving of fries into the standard air fryer basket.
- You can put them close together but do not stack them. Because of the curls, air can still flow through and between the fries.

Making the frozen, seasoned curly fries from Arby’s in the air fryer
- Preheat the air fryer to 375F.
- When the air fryer is done preheating add in a handful of frozen curly fries. You can fill the basket unplug but do not stack them on top of each other, just like the picture.
- No need to spray them with oil because they were flash fried before they were frozen. Place the basket back into the air fryer for 6 minutes.
- Then, remove the basket and give it a good shake. Place the basket back for another 6 minutes. The curly fries should be hot and crispy. Serve, with a side of ketchup or by themselves. They are already seasoned no need to add salt.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long to cook Arby’s frozen curly fries in the air fryer?
You only need 15 minutes max. For my air fryer I only needed 12 minutes and I don’t have a very powerful air fryer. This is a good starting point. Add more time if needed.
Do I need to thaw/defrost the fries?
No, Abry’s doesn’t thaw the fries before cooking and neither do you. From the freezer straight into your air fryer.
