Description

Craving crunch without the guilt? Make these viral Air Fryer Rice Paper Churros in just 5 minutes! A fail-proof, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly snack that’s perfectly crispy.

Ingredients
  • 10 sheets Rice Paper (use a brand with tapioca starch for better chew)
  • 1 cup Warm Water
  • 2 tbsp Oil (use a neutral oil like avocado or coconut)
  • 1 tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
  • A pinch of salt (to taste)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat
    1. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C). This is crucial for the "puff" effect.

  2. 2
    Whisk
    1. Whisk the warm water, maple syrup, and 1 tbsp of oil in a shallow dish.

  3. 3
    Dip
    1. Dip two sheets of rice paper into the water for 3-5 seconds. Stack them on top of each other on a cutting board.

  4. 4
    Roll
    1. Roll the stacked sheets tightly into a log, tucking in the sides if preferred (or leave open for crispy ends).

  5. 5
    Brush
    1. Brush the rolls generously with oil on all sides. Sensory Cue: They should look glossy, not dry.

  6. 6
    Air Fry
    1. Air Fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway. Sensory Cue: Cook until puffed, golden, and hollow-sounding when tapped.

  7. 7
    Coat
    1. Coat immediately. Brush with a little extra syrup or oil if dry, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar-salt mixture while hot.
