Ingredients Needed

• Pizza dough –Soft, flexible dough perfect for creating flaky rounds.

• Garlic butter –Rich, flavorful spread that infuses the rounds with garlicky goodness.
• Shredded mozzarella cheese –Melty, creamy cheese that adds richness and stretch.

How To Make Air Fryer Flaky Spinach Garlic Rounds

Step 1: Thaw the frozen spinach completely and squeeze out any excess moisture. Then, roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and even.

Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the garlic butter, drained spinach, and shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 3: Spread the spinach, garlic butter, and mozzarella mixture evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough. Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, then slice into 1-inch thick rounds to create individual spirals.

Step 4: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the spinach garlic rounds in a single layer, making sure they aren’t touching. Air fry at 350 degrees F (175°C) and set cook time for 8–10 minutes, or until golden brown, flaky, and cooked through.

Air Fryer Flaky Spinach Garlic Rounds Recipe Tips

• Thaw and drain the spinach well to prevent the dough from getting soggy.
• Use a light hand with the filling to avoid overstuffing and tearing the dough.
• Roll the dough tightly so the rounds hold their shape while cooking.
• Slice rounds evenly (about 1-inch thick) for even cooking and a nice presentation.
• Spray the air fryer basket and rounds with cooking spray for extra crispiness.
• Leave space between rounds in the basket so the air circulates properly for even browning.
• Check around 8 minutes to prevent overcooking—air fryers can vary slightly in temperature.

Storing, Freezing and Reheating

• Storing: Store leftover spinach garlic rounds in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Let them cool completely before storing to maintain their crisp texture.
• Freezing: Freeze the cooked rounds in a single layer on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months for best quality.
• Reheating: Reheat the rounds in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 4–5 minutes until hot and flaky again. Avoid microwaving to keep the pastry from becoming soggy.

What To Serve With Air-Fried Spinach Garlic Rounds

Air-Fried Spinach Garlic Rounds Recipe Faqs

Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen? Yes! Just sauté fresh spinach until wilted, then squeeze out any excess moisture before using.

Can I make these ahead of time? You can assemble and refrigerate the rounds a few hours ahead, then air fry just before serving for the best texture.

Do I have to use pizza dough? No, you can also use puff pastry or crescent roll dough for an even flakier texture.

What dipping sauces go well with these rounds? Marinara sauce, garlic aioli, ranch dressing, or a simple herbed yogurt dip all pair deliciously.

How do I store leftovers? Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the air fryer to crisp them back up.
