Step-by-Step Instructions for Air Fryer Cinnamon Twists
  1. In a medium bowl, combine granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, mixing well.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled puff pastry into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. Brush the surface of the puff pastry with melted unsalted butter, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
  4. Slice the pastry into 1-inch strips and twist each strip several times.
  5. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes, then arrange the twisted strips in a single layer.
  6. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
  7. Transfer cooked twists to a wire rack to cool slightly.
  8. For an optional glaze, mix powdered sugar with milk or water until smooth and drizzle over the twists.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Keep puff pastry cold for best texture. Flip twists halfway for even browning and avoid overcrowding in the air fryer. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
