Howdy! Chef Alli Here.  Let’s Get You Cookin’…..Shall We?? 🙂 

We are totally enjoying our air fryer – it has even earned a full-time spot on the counter.  I really like how you don’t have to preheat it, which really speeds up the cooking time.  It is hot almost instantly and the air fryer cycle really blows the hot air so things get crispy and browned nice and quick.  Or, if you don’t want the hot air blowing, you can choose the bake or toast setting – super versatile.

There are tons of different air fryers out there to choose from.  We decided to go with the Cuisinart TOA-60 Air Fryer/Toaster Oven so we could use it for all sorts of small cooking tasks.  I love how the toaster oven part works – it makes great toast! The boys use the air fryer part for little pizzas, corn dogs, tater tots, bacon and grilled cheese sandwiches.  I’ve been surprised at how quickly they’ve made a habit of using the air fryer instead of the oven – yay!

How to Make Air Fryer Churro Stix in Minutes

Puff pastry is an amazing thing to keep in your freezer when you want to make a quick dessert or chicken pot pie.  Puff pastry does just what it says – it PUFFS when you bake it, getting golden brown and delightfully tender.  This is due to all the BUTTER that’s used to make puff pastry, which, of course, is also what makes it so delicious.

To make these Churro Stix, all you have to do is thaw your puff pastry, then lay each sheet out on to a lightly floured work surface.  Cut each sheet in half horizontally, then cut each half into strips about 3/4″ wide.

Now it’s time to air fry.  Twist each strip of puff pastry, then lay then side-by-side into the air fryer basket, leaving room around each one so they can air fry evenly.  It only takes a few minutes for these little twists of heaven to get golden brown, so keep your eye on them!

Next, dip each puff pastry twist in the melted butter, then roll each one in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.  Serve right away while they are warm, tender, and luscious.  If you’d like, drizzle them with a powdered-sugar glaze, but we never make it that far – my family devours these!
