Step 2
Arrange: Place the frozen pieces in the basket in a single layer. Make sure they are not touching so the air can reach all sides. If you have a large batch, cook them in smaller groups.
Step 3
Cook: Set the temperature to 200 degrees Celsius and cook for about ten minutes. Brush a tiny amount of oil onto the surface halfway through for extra crunch. Turn them over to ensure they brown evenly.

Useful tips for air fryer frozen samosas

If you notice the edges browning too quickly, lower the temperature slightly for the last few minutes. Different brands of frozen snacks may vary in size, so keep an eye on them.

You can also try different fillings like vegetable or meat varieties using this same method. Let them rest for a moment so the inside temperature evens out.
