Ingredients

12 trader joe's mac and cheese bites (1 box, frozen)

Instructions

ARRANGE - Put the frozen macaroni and cheese bites in a single layer in your air fryer basket or tray. Don't stack and make sure theres a bit of space in between each piece.
COOK - Air fry frozen mac and cheese bites for a total of 10 minutes at 400°F. Shaking the basket twice (about every 3-4 minutes) to ensure even crisping.
COOL & SERVE - Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving with your choice of dipping sauce. I drizzled mine with buffalo sauce and ranch!

Notes

No extra oil needed! There is no need for oiling your air fryer basket with these mac and cheese bites, they are oily enough on their own.

Carefully these are HOT! Use tongs to remove your air-fried mac and cheese bites so you don't burn yourself on the basket. They are hot! Make sure to let the bites sit for about 2 minutes before serving. You don't want to burn your fingers or tongue!

Shake, shake, shake. Shake the air fryer basket at least twice during the air frying to ensure the bites cook evenly.

Cooking Time Can Vary - Not all air fryers are the same! You may to watch your food closely toward the end of the cooking cycle. You maybe need to adjust your time by a minute or two depending on these factors. Cook in batches if needed!
