Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated mini croissant dough (usually 8 croissants per can)
- 2 tablespoons Nutella
- 2 tablespoons fruit jam (such as strawberry, raspberry, or apricot)
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Croissant Dough: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Unroll the mini croissant dough and separate the pieces. Lay each piece flat on a clean surface.
- Fill the Croissants: Spread about 1 teaspoon of Nutella in the center of each croissant dough triangle. Add about 1 teaspoon of your favorite fruit jam on top of the Nutella. Roll each triangle up, starting from the wide edge, and shape them into croissants.
- Air Fry the Croissants: Lightly brush the top of each croissant with melted butter to give them a golden, crispy finish. Place the filled croissants in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they aren’t touching each other. Depending on your air fryer size, you may need to cook them in batches. Air fry the croissants for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- Serve: Once the croissants are done, remove them from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar if desired for a sweet finishing touch.
These Air Fryer Mini Croissants with Nutella and Jam are a simple yet indulgent treat that takes no time to prepare but delivers on flavor and texture. Enjoy them warm for the perfect balance of crispy and gooey in every bite!
