Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my pastry pups not crispy?

The main reason why puff pastry does not get crispy is twofold. The first reason is that your air fryer was not preheated. In order to get puff pastry crispy in the air fryer, you need to preheat your air fryer for a few minutes, before adding your puff pastry dogs.

The other reason why your puff pasty pups are not spaced out, the hot air from the air fryer needs to freely circulate around the puff pastry in order to crisp them up.

How much are they?

Today, I purchased a box for $5.99, for a box of 12. Remember the cost will vary from store to store.

How will I know when they are done?

They will be done when the puff pasty is fully cooked. I check on them frequently as they cook up since every air fryer is slightly different. The cooking time will vary from air fryer to air fryer.

How many calories are in them?

According to TJ’s package, there are 270 calories in a serving, which is considered for 4 pups.

Do I need to thaw them before cooking?

No, there is no need to thaw the pups before coming. I find that frozen foods come out better when they go into the air fryer in the frozen state.

How To Store Leftover Trader Joe’s Pasty Pups Air Fryer

Leftover puff pastry dogs? No problem!

Let them cool to room temperature and then place them into an airtight container. They will last in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. You can reheat them in the air fryer at 350 degrees f, for 3-5 minutes, for best results brush them with melted butter before air frying. That will help them get crispy!
