Air Fryer Frozen Fatayer

Ingredients

• 400 g frozen fatayer (about 10 triangles), straight from the freezer
• Plain yogurt or garlic yogurt dip, to serve (optional)
• Lemon wedges, to serve (optional)
• Oil spray

Steps

1. Take the fatayer straight from frozen - thawing first can make the sealed edges soften and pop open before the pastry crisps.
2. Preheat the air fryer to 190°C for 3 minutes.
3. Spray both sides lightly with oil.
4. Arrange in a single layer with a little space between each triangle so the folded edges get air too.
5. Air fry for 6 minutes, then flip each one over gently with a spatula, keeping the sealed seam intact.
6. Air fry a further 5-6 minutes (about 12 minutes total) until golden brown and crisp, with no pale, doughy patches on the folds.
7. Rest for a minute, then serve warm with a yogurt dip and lemon wedges.

Tip: Check the folded seams, not just the flat faces - that's the thickest part of a fatayer and the last place to cook through, so a golden top doesn't always mean it's done inside.
