What are deep fried Oreos?
Deep fried Oreos are Oreo cookies covered in a batter and deep fried. The first time I tried deep fried Oreos was at the State Fair of Texas. It was sweet and tasty, and felt very indulgent. It's one of those popular carnival foods that you have to try at least once.
Are air fried Oreos healthy?
These air fryer Oreos are a wee bit healthier and not as greasy as the deep fried one, because we're not using oil. The air fryer makes them slightly crispy on the outside. They are still delicious.
When I do use oil in my air fryer I use this spray bottle. Aerosol sprays can ruin your air fryer, so it’s recommended that you use an oil sprayer or you can drizzle the oil on yourself.
How to make air fried Oreos.
I used traditional Oreos to make my air fryer Oreos but you can use whatever type of Oreos you like. The red velvet Oreos would be fun to make for the holidays. Try them with the golden Oreos or your favorite flavor.

Crescent roll Oreos
Crescent rolls act as the "batter" for these Oreos and help them to crisp up nicely.
How long do air fried Oreos last?
Air fryer Oreos, taste best once they come out of the air fryer and cool a bit. Fresh is best.
However, if you don't eat them all in one sitting, you can store your air fryer Oreos in the fridge in an air tight container or a sealed plastic bag for about 3 days. After that the Crescent roll covering doesn't taste as fresh.
