WHY YOU’LL LOVE THESE FROZEN SAMOSAS IN THE AIR FRYER

3. Healthier Option: Air frying uses significantly less oil than the deep fryer, which means you’re making a healthier choice without sacrificing taste.
4. Convenience: They’re super easy to prepare with minimal cleanup. Pop them in, set the timer, and go about your business until it dings. It’s fuss-free cooking at its best.
5. Versatile and Social: Perfect for any occasion—whether it’s a casual hangout or a spontaneous party. They’re a crowd-pleaser that’s easy to share.

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE AIR FRYER FROZEN SAMOSA RECIPE

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make the crispy pastry (the exact measurements, nutritional information and full recipe are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post):

• Frozen samosas (can use chicken samosas, vegetable samosas, mini samosas, large samosas, etc – pick your fav flavor!)
• A little oil spray (optional, but helps get extra golden – can use avocado oil or olive oil)
• A dipping sauce (tamarind chutney, mint chutney, mango chutney, yogurt, or just good ol’ ketchup)

HOW TO MAKE THIS EASY APPETIZER

1. Preheat Your Air Fryer: Set it to 400 degrees F.
2. Arrange the Samosas: Place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Give them a light spray with some oil if you like them extra crispy.
3. Cook Time: Air fry those bad boys for about 12-15 minutes. Halfway through, give them a gentle shake or a flip for even crispiness.
4. Ding, and Done!: Once they’re golden brown and crispy, pull them out. Let them cool for a hot minute because we both know how painful a samosa burn can be.

STORING LEFTOVER SAMOSAS

Storing leftover samosas is a breeze, ensuring they stay as tasty as when you first cooked them. Just pop them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days. 

When you’re ready for round two, reheat them in the air fryer at 350°F for a few minutes to bring back that fresh-out-of-the-fryer crispiness!

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR BEST RESULTS

1. Preheat Your Air Fryer: Always preheat your air fryer for a few minutes before adding the samosas. This ensures that they start cooking immediately and get that perfect golden exterior.
2. Don’t Overcrowd: Arrange samosas in a single layer with some space between them. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking and less crispiness.
3. Use a Light Spray of Oil: Although air frying requires less oil, a quick spritz of oil spray can help achieve an extra crispy texture and golden color.
4. Flip Halfway Through: For even crispiness, flip the samosas halfway through the cooking time. This little move can make a big difference.
5. Adjust Cooking Time Based on Size: Smaller samosas might need less time, while larger ones might need a bit more. Keep an eye on your first batch to get the timing just right.
6. Serve Immediately: Samosas are best enjoyed warm and crispy, right out of the air fryer. If you need to reheat them later, just pop them back in the air fryer for a few minutes.

FAQS

WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO ENSURE MY SAMOSAS ARE CRISPY WHEN AIR FRIED?

To achieve the crispiest samosas, make sure not to overcrowd your air fryer. A light coating of cooking spray or a brush of oil before cooking can help achieve that desired golden crunch. Also, make sure your air fryer is preheated for best results.

HOW LONG DO COOKED SAMOSAS LAST IN THE FRIDGE?

Cooked samosas can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Keep them in an airtight container and reheat them in the air fryer at 350°F for a few minutes to bring back their crispiness before serving.

CAN I USE PARCHMENT PAPER IN THE AIR FRYER WHEN MAKING THIS SAMOSA AIR FRYER RECIPE?

Yes, you can use parchment paper in the air fryer to make cleanup easier and to prevent the samosas from sticking. Just ensure the paper is perforated or specifically designed for air fryers to allow for proper air circulation.

WHAT ARE SOME GOOD DIPS TO SERVE WITH AIR-FRIED SAMOSAS?

Samosas pair wonderfully with a variety of chutneys. Mango chutney and green chutney are classic choices, offering a sweet or tangy complement to the spicy filling of the samosas. 

Samosa chaat, which includes samosas topped with chickpeas, yogurt, and chutneys, is another delicious option to consider.
