A New Twist on Tradition: Air Frying Pasties

Are you ready to take your pasty game to the next level? Get ready to embark on a culinary adventure with Chunk of Devon as we explore the scrumptious world of air-frying pasties! 🥟

Air frying has taken the culinary world by storm, offering a healthier and more convenient alternative to traditional frying methods. With its ability to crisp and cook food to perfection using hot air circulation, the air fryer has become a must-have kitchen gadget for food enthusiasts everywhere. Not to mention the fact that you avoid the added costs of preheating and cooking your lunch in the conventional oven!

At Chunk of Devon, we're always looking for innovative ways to enjoy our delicious pies and pasties (chunky sausage rolls are equally beautifully crisp after bunging them in the air fryer for around 12 minutes), and air frying has opened up a world of possibilities! By air frying our pasties, we're able to achieve the perfect balance of crispy, golden pastry and succulent, flavourful fillings.

1. Preheat your air fryer: Set your air fryer to 190°C and allow it to preheat for a few minutes while you whip your pasties out of the packaging.
2. Prepare your pasties: Whether you're heating up leftovers (our Giant pasties are rather large and occasionally we hear you’re unable to finish them!) or starting with fresh pasties, place them in the air fryer basket, making sure to leave space between each one for proper air circulation.
3. Cook to perfection: Cook the pasties in the air fryer for 12-15 minutes, ideally flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown on the outside and heated through beautifully on the inside so the filling melts in your mouth.
4. Serve and enjoy: Once your pasties are done, carefully remove them from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. We recommend whipping up a quick salad or coleslaw (red cabbage slaw works particularly well with a Steak Pasty) to accompany it. Then, dig in and savour the deliciousness!

• Sides: Of course, many enjoy a side of chips with their pasty. This is where the air fryer really comes into its own (especially with a 2 drawer model)! Pop in your chunky wedges seasoned with your favourite herbs and spices for 20 minutes, giving them a good old shake in the middle. There you have it – a quick and easy lunch that’ll knock your socks off! And don’t forget a dollop of your chosen sauce.
• Convenience: Air frying pasties is quick, easy, and mess-free, making it perfect for busy weeknights or impromptu gatherings with friends and family in the garden.
• Versatility: Whether you're craving a classic Steak Pasty, a Steak & Stilton pasty, a Chicken & Chorizo number, or a spicy Ruby Murray Veggie pasty, you can air fry any of Chunk of Devon's delicious varieties to perfection.

Air frying pasties with Chunk of Devon is a game-changer for anyone looking to enjoy the perfect pasty experience in a convenient way. So fire up your air fryer, grab your favourite Chunk of Devon pasties (be they veggie or meaty), some spuds 🥔, and get ready to elevate your culinary creations to new heights!
