Equipment

Ingredients

  • 6 bites Trader Joe's Mac and Cheese Bites
  • Oil Spray optional

Instructions

  • Cut the pack and take out as many frozen Mac and cheese bites as you are planning to consume.
  • No need to thaw them.
  • Seal and place the remaining back in the freezer.

Air Fryer Method

  • Arrange the Mac and Cheese Bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  • Ensure they don’t touch so as to cook evenly.
  • Spray some cooking spray in air fryer basket to prevent these bites from sticking to the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry for 10 minutes at 400F or 200C till they are golden brown and crispy.
  • You can flip them midway.
  • Take out these crunchy Mac and cheese bites and serve them hot. Check the serving suggestions for serving ideas.

Oven Method (if you don’t have air fryer):

  • Preheat your oven to 425F or 220C.
  • Place the frozen Mac and Cheese Bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for about 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, or until they’re golden brown and sizzling.
  • They will be super hot so carefully remove them. Serve them hot.

How to Cook Mac and Cheese Bites in Microwave

  • I would suggest not to try this method. They get soggy and terrible if cooked in the air fryer.

Notes

1. Avoid Too Many: Always keep enough space between the bites to allow good circulation of hot air for even cooking.
2. Flip the bites: You can flip the bites for even browning midway during air frying.
3. Do not Thaw: Remember to place them straight from freezer into air fryer for optimum crispness.
