Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 sheet Flaky dough (puff pastry or store-bought sheet) Puff pastry works best for its flaky texture.
- 8 slices Turkey bacon strips Crisps up well in the air fryer; use leaner alternatives if preferred.
- 1 cup Cheese (sharp cheddar, mozzarella, or a combo) Sharp cheddar adds bite, mozzarella offers gooey stretch.
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or cooking spray Use for a golden color without greasiness.
Seasonings (optional)
- to taste Black pepper, smoked paprika, or garlic powder Add according to personal preference.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the flaky dough and cut it into strips, about 1-inch wide.
- Lay a strip of turkey bacon on each dough strip and sprinkle with cheese.
- Twist the dough around the turkey bacon and cheese to form a twist.
- Lightly coat the twists with olive oil or cooking spray.
- Place the twists in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cooking
- Air fry for 8–10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove and let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Keep the pastry cold until ready to roll and twist to ensure flakiness. Thinly slice cheese for even melting, and do not overcrowd the basket while air frying.
