Introduction
Making pastel in an airfryer is a convenient and healthier alternative to traditional deep-frying methods. The airfryer uses hot air circulation to cook food, resulting in crispy and delicious dishes with less oil.
Steps to Make Pastel in Airfryer
1. Prepare the filling with a mixture of ground meat, onions, garlic, and seasonings.
2. Place a small amount of the filling onto a piece of square-shaped pastry dough.
3. Fold the dough over the filling to create a triangle shape and seal the edges.
4. Preheat the airfryer to 180°C (350°F) for a few minutes.
5. Lightly brush the pastels with oil to help them achieve a golden and crispy exterior.
6. Arrange the pastels in a single layer in the airfryer basket, ensuring they do not touch each other.
7. Cook the pastels in the airfryer for about 10-12 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
8. Once done, carefully remove the pastels from the airfryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
By following these steps, you can enjoy delicious and crispy pastels made in the airfryer, a healthier cooking option compared to traditional deep-frying methods.
