CHOCOLATE-BANANA CROISSANTS

FAST, VEGETARIAN

These are simple to make with just three ingredients: croissant dough, a candy bar, and a banana. You can use chocolate-hazelnut spread in place of the chocolate bars for a sophisticated twist. I also recommend adding a variety of fruits like sliced strawberries, diced apples, or fresh peaches to this recipe. Get creative!

MAKES 4 CROISSANTS

PREP TIME: 5 minutes

COOK TIME: 5 to 6 minutes

BAKE: 320°F

1 can refrigerated croissant dough

1 regular-size milk chocolate candy bar

1 medium banana

1 . Place a parchment liner in the air fryer basket.

2 . Lay out the 4 pieces of croissant dough on a flat surface.

3 . Break the candy bar into 4 rectangles, and place one on top of each croissant.

4 . Slice the banana in half widthwise and then lengthwise so you have 4 pieces. Place the banana pieces on top of the chocolate bars.

5 . Roll up the croissants, starting with the large end, and place them on the liner in the fryer basket.

6 . Bake for 4 minutes.

7 . Remove and turn the croissants over and bake for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Ingredient tip: Since the croissant dough comes in cans of 6 to 8, you can save and refrigerate the rest of the dough for the next day. Use the remaining refrigerated dough within 2 days or freeze for later.
