Air Fryer Strawberry Macadamia Panini
Description
This Air Fryer Strawberry Macadamia Panini is a sweet, crispy treat made with juicy strawberries, buttery macadamia nuts, and rich Nutella. Made with just 5 ingredients in about 15 minutes — no panini press required!
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter, unsalted, room temperature
- 6 slices bread, ciabatta or your favorite thick-cut bread; slice larger loaves in half
- ½ cup strawberries, sliced
- ½ cup macadamia nuts, chopped
- ½ cup Nutella, or chocolate-hazelnut spread
Instructions
- Butter one side of each slice of bread evenly.
- Flip the slices and spread Nutella on the other side.
- Arrange sliced strawberries across one Nutella-covered slice.
- Sprinkle chopped macadamia nuts over the strawberries.
- Top with a second Nutella-coated slice and place the panini in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 350°F for 4–5 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Cool slightly so the filling sets, then slice and serve. Enjoy!
Equipment
- Cooking Spray
- Parchment Paper, optional
Notes
- For a "pressed" panini look, rest a small heat-safe trivet on top while it cooks.
- Don't overstuff — a thinner layer cooks more evenly and crisps better.
- Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 350°F for 2–3 minutes to re-crisp.
