How long do you cook frittata in an air fryer?

Every air fryer works differently depending on its brand. The correct way of cooking air fryer frittata is on low heat for about 12-15 minutes. Cooking in low heat allows the frittata to cook completely without burning.

However, the oven-proof pan size plays a vital role. If you have a bigger pan the frittata mixture gets enough space to cook quicker than in a smaller pan.

Can you freeze the air fryer frittata?

Frittata is best when served hot and fresh. If you have a leftover frittata then let them cool down completely slice and place in an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator and they are good for 2-3 days.

If you are thinking to store them for a longer period of time they can be frozen too. Wrap each slice of frittata in a plastic wrap, then wrap with a foil and place them in your freezer. They are good for 2-3 months.
