- Brush the top lightly with milk or melted butter.½ tablespoon milk
- Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the puff pastry.2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Cut puff pastry in half (optional, but recommended for easier air frying), then into strips about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.
- Take two strips and twist them together with the cinnamon-sugar sides facing each other. You can also twist them with the cinnamon-sugar sides facing outward (it is messier, but tastes delicious once air-fried).
- Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
- Place the twists in the air fryer basket in one even layer with space between them. You will likely have to cook in batches.
- Air fry at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for 8-10 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
- Remove the twists from the air fryer and place them on a cooling rack. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- The puff pastry should be fully thawed but cold.
- You can use brown sugar if you prefer.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer so the puff pastry can puff and cook evenly.
- Don’t overcook the puff pastry or it may dry out. It will also harden slightly as it cools.
- The puff pastry twists taste best fresh.
