Air fryer croissants and pastries

Day-old pastries brought back to flaky, shattering life in six minutes.

This is the best use of an air fryer nobody talks about. Gentle dry heat re-crisps the lamination without drying out the middle, which a microwave can never do.

• 4 croissants or pastries, a day or two old

Method

1. Space. Lay out in a single layer with room around each.
2. Air fry. Cook at 330°F for 6 minutes.
3. Check. Look at 4 minutes. Pastries brown fast once they get going.
4. Rest. Rest 1 minute before eating so the layers set.
