Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 400° Fahrenheit. Once air fryer is preheated, remove basket and lightly spray basket with neutral spray oil.
Place 8 frozen dino nuggets in air fryer basket, arranging nuggets in flat, even layer, not overlapping or touching. Work in batches as needed to avoid overcrowding basket.
If desired, lightly spray tops of nuggets with neutral spray oil. Return basket to air fryer and air fry dino nuggets 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, remove basket from air fryer. Flip dino nuggets over, then return basket to air fryer and air fry nuggets 3 more minutes. After 3 minutes, check doneness. Continue air frying nuggets, checking every minute, until desired doneness is achieved.
When satisfied with doneness, remove basket from air fryer. Transfer dino nuggets to plate or bowl. Repeat process with any remaining nuggets, then serve dino nuggets warm with dipping sauce of choice.
