The Seadas in Air Fryer are the lighter version of one of the most iconic and beloved Sardinian desserts. In this recipe, I show you my ideal cooking method to achieve perfect Seadas, golden, crispy on the outside and with a melting heart, just like in the traditional fried version. The peculiarity of this preparation is that you only need a drop of oil on each Seada to achieve the same result as classic frying, without immersing the sweet in boiling oil. This way, even those who are on a diet or usually avoid fried foods can enjoy them: the flavor remains authentic, the lightness is surprising.
Thanks to my tips and the right cooking method, the Seadas will cook in the air fryer developing the classic bubbles of frying, but maintaining a much healthier profile. Naturally, for those who prefer the traditional version, you can always opt for classic frying, but in this article, you will find all the details and suggestions for cooking them in the air fryer. Additionally, in the procedure section, I also provide instructions for baking in the oven, another convenient and light alternative.

Ingredients
- 3 seadas
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- to taste honey (I use chestnut honey)
Tools
- Air Fryer
Steps
Preheat the air fryer to 356°F (180°C) for about 3 minutes.
Place the Seadas in the basket, gently brush the surface with a thin layer of oil, then turn them over and brush the other side as well. At this point, turn them again, so that the cooking begins from the top side.Cook in the air fryer at 356°F (180°C) for 8 minutes, turning them halfway through. This step is crucial to achieve a perfect result: after the first 4 minutes of cooking, you will notice the formation of the characteristic bubbles of frying. By turning them, we ensure the same effect on the opposite side, obtaining a crispy and well-golden surface.
Alternatively, they can be baked in the oven at 374°F (190°C) for about 15-18 minutes or until they are beautifully golden and crispy, or naturally, they can be fried in plenty of vegetable oil for a few minutes on each side until golden.
Once ready, immediately transfer the Seadas to serving plates, add honey on top, and serve hot. In this preparation, we used chestnut honey, but you can choose the honey you prefer based on your taste. The result will be surprising: crispy on the outside and melted on the inside, just like in the traditional version. Enjoy!
Tips for You
• The Seadas used in this recipe are the ready-to-cook ones, easily available in stores, such as supermarkets or pasta shops, perfect for a quick preparation.
• Alternatively, you can prepare them at home with semolina, lard, and melting cheese, following one of the many recipes available online.
• Chestnut honey provides a stronger flavor, but you can also opt for acacia or wildflower honey for a softer note.
• To cook the seadas, I used the COSORI Turbo Blaze Air Fryer 6 liters which, thanks to its super-powerful fan, enhances the traditional fried experience. You can find it here: air fryer.
