AIR FRYER CHURROS



Air Fryer Churros image

Who doesn't love churros? They're a delicious cinnamon-sugar treat, and making them in an air fryer takes them from a guilty treat into a sweet treat. After over 7 experiments, I do NOT recommend using a parchment paper liner. I do NOT recommend adding the cinnamon sugar to the dough.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best results, use fresh churro dough. If you're using frozen dough, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • If your churro dough is too sticky, add a little flour until it reaches a manageable consistency.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. Give the churros enough space to cook evenly.
  • Cook the churros in batches if necessary. Don't stack them on top of each other.
  • Keep an eye on the churros while they're cooking. They can burn quickly.
  • Sprinkle the churros with cinnamon sugar while they're still hot.
  • Serve the churros with your favorite dipping sauce.
