👩🍳 Preparing golden puff pastry appetizers in the air fryer
Cutting and filling
5 minUnroll the puff pastry. Cut it into strips or small squares depending on the desired size of the bites. Place a little pesto , a sausage, or grated cheese in the center. Roll or fold as desired. Seal the edges well so the filling doesn't leak out.
Gilding and toppings
2 minBeat the egg. Using a brush, generously glaze each pastry. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, poppy seeds or grated cheese if you want an extra touch of indulgence 🧀.
Express cooking in the air fryer
7-10 minPlace the puff pastries in the air fryer basket, without touching them (cook in batches if needed). Cook at 180°C for 7 to 10 minutes. They should be golden brown and puffed up 🥳.
Tasting
1 minServe your golden puff pastry appetizers immediately, accompanied by a yogurt sauce, an air fryer dip, or simply on their own. A "wow" effect is guaranteed with every bite! 🤩
🔥 Tips, variations and delicious ideas
- 👉 Veggie? Replace the sausage with grilled vegetables, goat cheese or marinated tofu!
- 👉 Sweet version: Topped with spread, caramelized apples or compote, and sprinkled with icing sugar after air fryer 🍏.
- 👉 For a cocktail party: Serve with homemade sauces (yogurt-chive, spicy ketchup, hummus...) for a colorful and 100% convivial buffet.
- 👉 Save time: Prepare your puff pastries in advance, keep them uncooked in the fridge, then cook them in a flash for an ultra crispy result as an appetizer!
- 👉 Freezing: Puff pastries freeze very well, before or after baking. Give them a few minutes in an air fryer to revive them.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions about Air Fryer Appetizer Pastries
Can I use gluten-free puff pastry?
Yes, gluten-free puff pastry works very well in an air fryer. Just be sure to seal the edges well and keep an eye on the cooking time, as it sometimes browns more quickly.
How can I prevent my puff pastries from bursting during baking?
Seal the edges well with a little water or egg yolk, and never overload with filling. Prick the pastry lightly before baking to allow steam to escape.
