Air Fryer Nutella Puff Pastry Bites
Description
Nine flaky puff pastry bites with molten Nutella centers, made in an air fryer in six minutes. Four ingredients, no egg wash, no oven.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed and cold
- 1/3 cup Nutella
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, for dusting
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Thaw the puff pastry in the refrigerator until pliable but still cold.
- Lightly flour your work surface and unfold the pastry sheet.
- Cut along the fold lines into 3 strips, then cut each strip into 3 pieces, for 9 squares total.
- Place 1 teaspoon of Nutella in the center of each square, leaving a 1/2-inch border clear on all sides.
- Dip a finger in water and moisten two adjoining edges. Fold each square into a triangle and press to seal, then crimp firmly with a fork.
- Spray the air fryer basket or tray. Arrange the bites in a single layer without crowding and spray the tops lightly.
- Air fry at 350°F for 6 minutes, flipping at 3 minutes. Cook until deep golden and puffed, adding 1–2 minutes if needed.
- Rest 2 minutes, dust with powdered sugar, and serve warm.
Equipment
- Air Fryer, Air Fryer Basket or Air Fryer Oven
- Cooking Spray, or Parchment Paper
Notes
- Keep the pastry cold. Warm pastry won't puff and won't hold a seal.
- One teaspoon of filling per bite. Overfilling is the main cause of blowouts.
- Freeze assembled, uncooked bites and air fry from frozen at 350°F for 8–9 minutes.
- Reheat leftovers at 350°F for 2–3 minutes. Do not microwave.
- Timing varies by machine. Basket models generally run hot; start checking at 5 minutes.
