Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 package Trader Joe’s Mini Croissant Swirls with Chocolate Chips frozen

Instructions

  • Remove the mini croissants from the freezer—no need to defrost.
  • Place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd.
  • Set air fryer to 330°F and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Once time is up, check one croissant by cutting it in half. If the inside isn't fully cooked, return to air fryer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • If croissants brown too quickly but are still undercooked, reduce the temperature to 320°F or 310°F and cook until done.
  • Let the croissants cool on a plate for 5 minutes. This allows them to finish cooking inside and develop the perfect texture.
  • Enjoy warm with a cup of coffee or milk!

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model.
  • Croissants are best eaten warm and fresh, but can be stored and reheated (see storage tips in this post).
