350°F Oven to Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 325°F (163°C) and cut the cooking time by about 20%.
350°F (177°C) in a conventional oven ≈ 325°F in an air fryer — the fast-moving hot air and small chamber cook more efficiently, so you lower both the temperature and the time.
350°F is the most common baking temperature, which makes this the conversion people look up most. Set the air fryer to 325°F and reduce the time by 20–25%. Baked goods need the most care here — the air fryer's direct airflow browns the surface before the inside is done.

Drop the temperature to 325°F and reduce the time by roughly 20%. Check a few minutes early the first time you convert a recipe.
| Oven time at 350°F | Air fryer time at 325°F |

| 10 min | ~8 min |
| 15 min | ~12 min |
| 20 min | ~16 min |
| 25 min | ~20 min |
| 30 min | ~24 min |

What to Cook at 325°F in the Air Fryer
- Cookies — check early; they brown fast
- Cakes and muffins — reduce to 325°F and watch closely, or tent with foil if over-browning
- Bone-in chicken pieces and thighs
- Reheating leftovers without drying them out
Tips
- For cakes and muffins, use a pan that fits your basket and check 5 minutes early.
- If the top browns before the center sets, loosely tent with foil for the rest of the time.
- Cookies often need only 8–10 minutes — set a short timer for the first batch.
- Delicate batters do better in the oven; air fryers favor sturdier bakes.

FAQ
Q: What is 350°F in an air fryer?
Set the air fryer to 325°F (163°C) and reduce the cooking time by 20–25%. 350°F is the standard baking temperature, so this is the most common conversion for cookies, cakes, and chicken.
Q: Can I bake a cake at 350°F in an air fryer?
Yes, but set it to 325°F and check 5 minutes early. Air fryers brown the top of cakes and muffins faster than the inside cooks, so a lower temperature and an early check prevent a burnt top with a raw center.
Q: How long to air fry cookies that bake at 350°F for 12 minutes?
About 9–10 minutes at 325°F. Watch closely the first batch — cookies go from set to over-browned quickly in an air fryer.
