Air Fryer Pizza Cannoli

Ingredients

• 1 package (2 sheets) puff pastry
• 8 ounces marinara sauce
• 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, diced into small pieces
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 cup Italian seasoned Panko crumbs

Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.
2. Cut the puff pastry sheets into equal quarters.
3. Spread about 1-1/2 tablespoons of marinara sauce in the middle of each puff pastry sheet.
4. Place about 8-10 pieces of cheese (depending on size) on the marinara sauce.
5. With the puff pastry pieces positioned like a diamond, fold the right corner over the filling, and then fold the left corner over and wrap it under, forming something that resembles a cannoli.
6. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water.
7. Place the Panko crumbs on a lipped plate.
8. Brush each pizza cannoli with the egg wash mixture, covering the sides and bottom.
9. Place the cannolis, one at a time, into the Panko crumbs and cover all sides.
10. Place the pizza cannolis, two at a time (don’t overcrowd) on a pieced of parchment paper inside the air fryer basket.
11. Air fry at 400 degrees for about 4-5 minutes.
12. Carefully turn the cannolis over and air fry an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
13. Remove from the air fryer and allow to cool slightly before serving.
14. Repeat the process with the remaining cannolis.
