If you want an Uncrustable warm and crispy with gooey insides instead of soft and thawed, the air fryer is absolutely worth it. Here, you'll learn how to air fry an Uncrustable from frozen or thawed and exactly how long it takes.
Why You Should Air Fry Uncrustables
The first time my kids tried an Uncrustable from the air fryer, they immediately wanted them this way again. The bread turns golden and crisp while the peanut butter and jelly warm and turn gooey inside, almost like a grilled PB&J without a pan. You can use store-bought or homemade Uncrustables, so this is an easy snack or lunch for home or school.
How to Air Fry an Uncrustable
- Prep
Remove the Uncrustable from its wrapper and spray or brush both sides with oil or butter for a golden crust. - Air fry
At 375F, frozen Uncrustables take 7 to 8 minutes, or thawed ones take about 5 minutes. Flipping it halfway through ensures both sides are toasted evenly.
- Cool and eat
Transfer it to a plate and let it cool for a minute or two before biting in; the filling gets very hot.
Laura’s Tips & FAQ’s
Yes. There's no need to thaw it first. Place the frozen sandwich directly in the air fryer and cook it at 375F for 7 to 8 minutes.
No. It will toast without anything added. A light coating of butter or cooking spray simply gives the bread a more golden, crisp finish.
No. Use the rack or tray if your air fryer normally requires one, but you don't need any special setup just for this sandwich.
Absolutely! You can make your own Uncrustables with your favorite bread and nut butter (or a nut-free alternative) or even make gluten-free Uncrustables.
