To bake in your air fryer

  • Pre heat your air fryer.
  • Put a piece of baking parchment in the base of the air fryer and place four twists onto the parchment.
  • Bake at 200C (400F) for 8 minutes.
  • Bake the twists in batches until all are baked. Then cool on a wire cooling tray.

To bake in the oven

  • Preheat your oven to 220C (425F). Line a baking tray with parchment or a reusable liner. Bake for 20 minutes, then cool on a wire cooling tray.

To serve

  • Serve the Puff Pastry Cheese and Chorizo Twists with tomato salsa or other dips.

Notes

Safety Note

Do not put the baking parchment into the air fryer when preheating your air fryer.  The paper will rise up with the air circulation and burn on the heating element.  Once the air fryer is preheated it is safe to put in the parchment and place the Cheese and Chorizo Puff Pastry Twists on top. The weight of the puff pastry twists will hold down the paper and it is perfectly safe.
