Easy Air Fryer Puff Pastry with Spinach and Feta

I have recently started to explore my air fryer more and realized cooking has got so convenient. I prepared the delicious Air Fryer Cheesy Chicken Fingers and it was so scrumptious and hassle free.

This time I got my hands onto the puff pastry sheet and thought it would be a great idea to air fry these with the filling of my choice.

I grabbed some vegetables of my choice from the fridge, prepped these up, added to my pastry sheets, air fried it and voila my air fryer puff pastry with spinach and feta was ready in no time!!!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is Puff Pastry? Why Air Fryer Puff Pastry?

Puff pastry are pastries with many layers of flaky dough. It’s light and crispy when baked and can be used to prepare various sweet and savory recipes. Before baking, the dough is rolled multiple times adding butter to give it multiple layers.
Air Fryer Puff Pastry is easy and quick to make using an air fryer as it’s ready in no time with an amazing flaky crust.

Can you buy ready made puff pastry?

Using ready made puff pastry dough is a blessing and saves a lot of time and efforts. You can use it straightaway, roll it, shape it the way you like and bake it. Get your hands on to the best one as there loads of them available at the supermarkets like Asda and Tesco here in the UK.

Do I need to roll out my puff pastry dough?

Well yes, if you have purchased a puff pastry dough that looks like a block, it should be rolled out to get even thickness. Dusting some flour is recommended as it helps in rolling out the dough. Make sure to read the instructions on the pack you’ve purchased.

How long do I air fry the puff pastry?

It took me 5 minutes to pre-heat my air fryer and another 7 minutes to air fry one puff pastry.

Can I use an oven to bake the puff pastry?

Yes, you can use an oven to bake puff pastry if you’re preparing in bulk. However I prefer using an air fryer as it is less time consuming and gives a nice golden crust to the puff pastries. It turned out to be light, flaky and crispy something I wouldn’t have got in an oven or a convection.
