Air-Fryer Nutella and Banana Turnovers

Air-fryer nutella and banana turnovers from Sweet Munch, built for hot pastry, molten centres, sticky sugar and proper dessert chaos.

Simple ingredients, zero finesse, and absolutely no restraint required. These are the sort of pastries that make you “test one” and then quietly eat the rest while they’re still hot.

You’ll Need

Ready-rolled puff pastry
Nutella
Ripe bananas

Optional but Encouraged
Egg wash or melted butter
Icing sugar
Chocolate sauce or ice cream

Method

1 - Preheat your air fryer to 180°C for 3–5 minutes.

2 - Unroll the puff pastry and cut it into even squares or rectangles.

3 - Slice the bananas into coins, not too thick or they’ll burst the pastry.

4 - Spoon a small amount of Nutella into the centre of each pastry square.

5 - Lay a few banana slices on top of the Nutella. Don’t overfill — these spread when hot.

6 - Fold the pastry over to form triangles or rectangles and press the edges firmly to seal. Crimp with a fork if you want insurance.

7 - Lightly grease the air fryer basket or line it with baking paper.

8 - Place the turnovers seam-side down in the basket, leaving space between them.

9 - Brush the tops with egg wash or melted butter for colour.

10 - Air fry at 180°C for 10–12 minutes until puffed, golden, and crisp.

11 - Remove carefully and let them sit for a minute. The filling will be lava-hot. Dust with icing sugar before serving if you’re feeling polite.

Lad Tip: Ripe bananas only. Green bananas ruin the vibe. If Nutella leaks and caramelises on the pastry, that’s elite behaviour. These are unreal with vanilla ice cream melting alongside. Eat hot. Cold Nutella pastry is a missed opportunity.
