Air Fryer Twinkies are a crispy fun fair food, filled with a creamy filling. Perfect with a scoop of ice cream for a fun dessert!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 Box Twinkies
INSTRUCTIONS
- Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or lightly spray with nonstick cooking oil.
- Remove cellophane wrappers from Twinkies, and place in the air fryer basket, without stacking.
- Air fry in batches, at 350 degrees F for 3-5 minutes, until the snack cakes are golden brown. The longer you air fry, the crispier they will become. I like them on the crispier side, so 5 minutes is perfect!
NOTES
To make these more like carnival food vendors, you can place popsicle sticks into Twinkies, making them perfect for kids parties.
For a variation more like your favorite carnival treats, can also dip into batter made from a pancake batter, or wrap with crescent dough. If using batter or dough, change cooking times to 6-8 minutes.
