Air Fryer Spanakopita Bites — Do you love Spanakopita? Have you thought about making it but don’t know how to make the dough or fillings from scratch? I got a new gadget for my kitchen that will solve these problems! Check out this Air Fryer Spanakopita Bites recipe!

Air Fryer Spanakopita Bites are a great and easy appetizer, made in minutes; you will soon find yourself making these, over and over again. For there is nothing as good as a quick bite or easy appetizer–all made in the Air Fryer.

This is one of the easiest recipes that I have made in the air fryer. Growing up, I was fortunate to have many Greek friends, and Spanakopita was usually served at many get-togethers. Today I made my own version, which took me about 20 minutes from start to finish. This is a great and easy recipe, Air Fryer Easy Spanakopita Bites.

Everyone loves Spanakopita. It is one of the most recognized Greek foods. It is usually made with homemade phyllo dough, and the entire process takes hours to prepare.

Spanakopita is usually referred to as Greek Spinach Pie. It has a mix of spinach, feta cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Today, I prepared the same flavors, but one-tenth of the time.

How To Store The Leftovers
If you have any leftover Air Fryer Spanakopita Bites, let them cool to room temperature, and then place a piece of saran wrap over the spanakopita. Place them into the refrigerator. They will last about a day or two.

To reheat, either place them in the microwave until warmed through or place them back into the air fryer for 2 to 3 minutes at 400 degrees F, air fryer setting.
