The fair is full of rides, games, fun, and food! Lots of really good food. We’re going to recreate one of my favorite fair foods – the fried Oreo! Fried Oreos are pretty amazing. A typical creamy and chocolatey Oreo turns into this perfect bite that resembles a warm brownie with buttery cream wrapped in fried dough. And now, I don’t have to wait until the Florida state fair rolls around for my favorite fried treat. I just have to plug in the air fryer! Check out why I’m so obsessed:
- Quick: These air fryer Oreos are ready in just 10 minutes, making them a perfect last-minute dessert.
- Three Ingredients: Yes, you read that right! Just grab some Oreos (any flavor you want), crescent roll dough and powdered sugar and you’re good to go.

How to Make Air Fryer Oreos
You’ll need an air fryer for this recipe and that’s about it! Below is a quick recipe overview, but please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of this post for full instructions and to watch the step-by-step video.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F. Make sure that the frying basket is clean and clear of any food from previous recipes. No one wants a fried Oreo with chicken bits on it!
- Wrap the Oreos with the crescent rolls. The dough will already be cut into triangles for easy folding. One Oreo per triangle and then wrap them up like you’re folding a little cloth around the cookie.
- Air fry for five minutes. Make sure that they are spread out on the air fryer before putting them in. Check after five minutes. You want them to be golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Remove them from the air fryer and dust them with powdered sugar. You’ll want to serve them right away so they’re nice and hot!
Chef’s Tips & Variations
- Try not to work the dough too much: It’s important that you don’t stretch the dough if you want the crescent roll to be nice and fluffy around the Oreo. Also, make sure that you cover the entire cookie.
- Space out the Oreos: When putting the Oreos on the frying basket, leave a space between each wrapped cookie; otherwise, they will stick together when cooked. That golden brown crispy outer layer happens when there is plenty of space around each Oreo. You don’t need to air fry the Oreos all at once. Working in small batches is the best solution here!
- Add a drizzle: After they’re done, drizzle your air fryer Oreos with chocolate syrup, caramel (or salted caramel), or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an extra indulgent touch.
