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!!!

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.
