Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your 5- or 6-quart air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes.
- Prepare the Cauliflower Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the onion, finely chopped cauliflower, crushed garlic, ground turmeric, ground ginger, and ¼ tsp of ground cinnamon.
- Spray the mixture with cooking spray.
- Air Fry the Cauliflower Mixture: Carefully pull out the air fryer pan and basket.
- Line the basket with parchment paper and place the cauliflower mixture in the basket.
- Slide the pan and basket back into the appliance.
- Maintain the temperature at 350°F and set the timer for 5 minutes to cook until the cauliflower is tender.
- Prepare the Filling: Transfer the cooked cauliflower mixture to a bowl.
- Add the crumbled feta, chopped almonds, and herbs to the bowl, then stir to combine.
- Allow the mixture to cool.
- You can also speed up the cooling process by spreading the mixture on a tray and placing it in the freezer for 5 minutes.
- Assemble the Triangles: Stack 2 sheets of fillo pastry together, spraying each layer with cooking spray.
- Cut the stacked pastry lengthwise into three strips.
- Place a heaped tablespoon of the cauliflower mixture in the corner of one pastry strip, leaving a ½-inch border.
- Fold the opposite corner of the pastry diagonally across the filling to form a triangle.
- Continue folding to the end of the pastry strip, maintaining the triangular shape.
- Place the fillo triangle, seam-side down, on a tray.
- Repeat with the remaining pastry sheets, cooking spray, and cauliflower mixture to make 18 fillo triangles.
- Spray the triangles with oil and dust them with extra cinnamon.
- Air Fry the Fillo Triangles: Place half of the fillo triangles in the basket.
- Maintain the temperature at 350°F and set the timer for 10 minutes.
- Allow them to cook.
- After 10 minutes, turn the triangles over and set the timer for an additional 10 minutes, or until the triangles are golden.
- Transfer the cooked fillo triangles to a wire rack.
- Repeat the cooking process with the remaining fillo triangles.
