Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • caramel and/or chocolate dipping sauce optional

Equipment

  • air fryer
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • medium bowl

Method
 

  1. Let the puff pastry set at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften it slightly, or until pliable enough to open the folds.
  2. Lay the puff pastry flat and cut into 144 little squares (cut 12 strips one way and 12 strips the other way to make 144).
  3. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  4. To cook in the AIR FRYER: Spread some of the puff pastry squares on the rack of the air fryer, making sure they aren't overlapping. Air fry for 4 minutes on 375°F; give the basket a shake. Air fry for another 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. To bake in the OVEN: Spread the puff pastry squares out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes or until the tops of the squares are golden brown.
  6. Remove the puff pastry squares from the air fryer/oven and place them in the bowl of cinnamon-sugar. Carefully stir until all pieces are coated.
  7. Serve with warm caramel or chocolate sauce, if desired.

Notes

Feel free to personalize your churro bites by swapping sugar for brown sugar or adding nutmeg for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days, and reheat in the air fryer for optimal crispiness.
