Phyllo pastry in the air fryer becomes crispy and cooks much faster than in the oven. With phyllo you can make both appetizers and desserts. Phyllo is very light, contains no butter and is made with flour, water and a little oil. In this recipe I suggest a savory version; of course you can fill the pouches as you prefer. With air fryer cooking you’ll save time compared to oven cooking. The cooking time of phyllo in the airfryer may vary depending on the type of air fryer you use — this is the AIR FRYER that I use.

How to cook phyllo in the air fryer
Let’s start preparing phyllo pouches cooked in the air fryer. Pour the boiled spinach, the ricotta and a pinch of salt into a small bowl, then mix everything until you have a smooth cream.
Lay a sheet of phyllo pastry on a work surface and brush it with a little water. Place the filling to one side, fold the edges and roll up so the filling won’t come out during cooking.
Place the pouches in the air fryer basket and spray with oil if you’re making savory pouches. If you’re making sweet pouches, just moisten them with water and then sprinkle with sugar.
Cook in the air fryer at 356°F for 5 minutes, then open your air fryer basket and turn the pouches; continue cooking for another 3 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on the type of air fryer — they should be golden and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the pouches from the air fryer and serve hot or at room temperature.
