Cooking with Carson: Texmex Air Fryer Croissants to bring on spring
As winter winds down, wind up your air fryer with these croissants
February 23, 2023
Pull out that air fryer and ready up your Pillsbury croissants for this recipe.
I know that some of our readers are trapped in dorms with less-than-adequate cooking equipment and facilities. Some are trapped using microwaves or pots and pans with suspicious stains for most of their meals.
Despite this, I know that an increasing number of students are picking up air fryers. If you don’t have one, you should.
This one goes out to you.
As I was constructing this recipe in my Daily Evergreen laboratory, I had to make sure it was a few things: delicious, cheap, and had ingredients that were easy to prepare with minimal equipment. I can confidently say that this recipe hits all of those checkboxes.
The best part of it is, if you want to spice it up with more ingredients, then you are totally able to.
The best part of this recipe is its storage. While you can eat an entire can of croissants right away, you can also store them for meal prep later in the week. Running late for your next class? Grab one of these on the way out after tossing it in the microwave to warm it up.
These are cheap, easy and ready to go!
Hope you enjoy it!
