Ingredients

Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 20 minutes | Cooling Time: 5 minutes

  • 1 small onion thinly wedged
  • 8 ounces finely chopped cauliflower
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • ½ tsp ground turmeric
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon plus extra for dusting
  • Extra virgin olive oil cooking spray
  • ounces crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tbsp roasted chopped almonds
  • 2 tbsp coarsely chopped cilantro
  • 2 tbsp coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 12 sheets fillo pastry
  • Lemon wedges and cilantro leaves for serving

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.
