Notes

Air Fryer Frozen Orange Roughy

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Remove the frozen orange roughy fillets from their packaging and rinse them under cold water to remove any ice crystals.
Pat the frozen fillets dry with a paper towel, then brush both sides with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together your desired seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the fillets, making sure to coat them evenly.
Place the fillets in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other.
Cook the frozen orange roughy fillets in the air fryer for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping them over halfway through cooking.
Check the fillets with a fork to make sure they are fully cooked and flaky. If they're not done yet, you can continue cooking them for a few more minutes.
