Certainly! Here’s a recipe for making delicious air fryer spanakopita, a Greek spinach and feta pastry:
Air Fryer Spanakopita:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 3 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 12 sheets phyllo dough (approx. 9×14 inches)
- Olive oil cooking spray
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a large bowl, combine the thawed and well-drained chopped spinach, feta cheese, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped dill, chopped parsley, green onions, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Assemble the Spanakopita:
- Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough and brush it lightly with melted butter.
- Place another sheet on top and brush with butter again. Repeat until you have a stack of 4 sheets.
- Spoon a portion of the spinach and cheese mixture along one edge of the phyllo stack.
- Roll the phyllo over the filling, folding in the sides as you go, to form a log or cylinder. Brush the final edge with butter to seal.
- Repeat the process to make additional spanakopita rolls.
- Air Fry the Spanakopita:
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil cooking spray.
- Place the spanakopita rolls in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching.
- Air fry for about 12-15 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve:
- Once cooked, let the spanakopita cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
