Preparing the Spinach & Ricotta filling
Preparing the Croissant rolls filled with spinach and ricotta
Open the can of the crescent roll. Spread out the sheet of rolls. The rolls come attached in the can and separated with perforated borders. That makes it easy to separate the rolls without destroying the triangular shape of the rolls.
But for this recipe, we will separate these in squares that is 2 triangles together. The perforated line between 2 triangles should be closed by pinching it together and smoothen it out. You will get 4 squares out of 8 crescent triangles. PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO.
Spread Air fryer parchment paper on the working counter and place one croissant roll square on it. Now take 1/4th of the filling and place it on one half of the square. Then cover it with the other half of the square. Press the edges down tightly. Use a Fork to press the edges. Make 3 small slits on top of the roll. Finish all the 4 squares likewise. Set aside.
Air Frying Croissant Rolls with the Filling
My air fryer is 2.75 quart so I could air fry only 2 at a time. You probably can air fry more at a time depending upon the size of the air fryer.
Preheat the AIR FRYER at 330*F for 3-4 minutes. Place prepared croissant rolls on Air fryer parchment paper. Pick up the paper carefully and place it inside the air fryer basket. Now air fry these rolls at 330*F for about 6-8 minutes till they turn golden brown from outside. For the crispier base, remove the parchment paper and place these back in the air fryer for about 1 minute. Serve these warm as is or with the dip of your choice.

What else can I use in place of croissant rolls?
You can use ready to bake phyllo sheet or puff pastry sheet in case you can not find crescent rolls.
Can I make it in advance?
I would not advise you to make it in advance. Although you can prepare the spinach and ricotta filling in advance and refrigerate. Microwave it to room temperature or bring it to room temperature when ready to use.
Can I use Fresh Spinach instead?
Yes of course you can use fresh spinach leaves. Since spinach wilts to very less quantity after cooking, you have to double the quantity.
What other kind of cheese can I use?
Although ricotta is a great choice for this recipe, but you can use any cheese that combines easily without stretching. Cottage cheese, Gouda Cheese, Paneer are some other good options.
Can I double the recipe?
Absolutely yes. You can double or triple the recipe easily.
