Ingredients Needed

• Puff Pastry: Use cold, thawed puff pastry.

• Olive Oil: Perfect for crisping up the asparagus in the air fryer!
• Asparagus spears: Use fresh asparagus for the best results.
• Grated Mozzarella Cheese: For added flavor.
• Egg: Provides a glossy coating
• Grated Romano Parmesan: Perfect for serving!
• Salt & Pepper: For added flavor.

How To Make Air Fryer Asparagus Puff Pastry Bundles

Step One: Roll out the puff pastry sheet to a rectangle about twice the size. Cut the puff pastry into 6 equal pieces using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife. Lightly drizzle olive oil over the asparagus and salt and pepper to taste.

Step Two: Place the asparagus spears diagonally across the center of each cut piece of pastry and top each one with 2 to 3 tablespoons of grated mozzarella cheese.

Step Three: Fold the free edges over the filling, forming a bundle. In a small bowl, beat the egg well to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of each bundle with egg wash and sprinkle with the Romano Parmesan cheese.

Step Four: Place the bundles into the air fryer basket and set air fryer temperature to 370 degrees F, air fryer setting, and set cook time for 6-7 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.

Air Fryer Asparagus Puff Pastry Bundles Recipe Tips

• Even Cooking: Make sure asparagus spears are similar in size so they cook evenly.
• Don’t Overcrowd: Arrange bundles in a single layer with space between them for proper crisping.
• Cheese Options: Swap mozzarella for gruyere, parmesan, or cheddar for different flavor profiles.
• Egg Wash: Brush bundles with an egg wash before air frying to get a shiny, golden crust.
• Serve Hot: Puff pastry is crispiest right out of the air fryer, so serve immediately for the best texture.

Storing Instructions

• Refrigeration: Store leftover bundles in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes to restore crispiness.
• Freezing: Freeze uncooked bundles on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag. Air fry straight from frozen, adding 1–2 extra minutes to cook time.

Other Cooking Instructions

• Oven Method: Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake bundles on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Convection Oven: Use the convection setting at 375°F for 10–12 minutes to get extra crispiness.
• Broiler Finish: For an extra golden top, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end of cooking, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.

Air Fryer Asparagus Puff Pastry Bundles Recipe Faqs

Can I make these ahead of time? Yes, you can assemble the bundles and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before air frying.

Can I use frozen asparagus? Yes, but thaw and pat dry first to prevent soggy pastry.

Can I add protein? Absolutely, wrap a slice of prosciutto, ham, or cooked bacon around the asparagus before adding cheese.

What cheese works best? Mozzarella is classic, but gruyere, cheddar, or parmesan are all delicious alternatives.

Can I make these vegan? Yes, use vegan puff pastry and a plant-based cheese substitute.

How do I keep the pastry crispy after storing? Reheat in the air fryer or oven rather than the microwave for best results.
