These air fryer frozen samosas are an easy appetizer or side dish for Indian food or an all-around great snack. Perfectly crispy, with just the right amount of spice, the delicious samosas are golden brown in just minutes when you make them in the air fryer. I love Trader Joe's samosas.

Instructions
Air Fryer Instructions (See Note!)
Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 380 degrees F.
Add the frozen samosas to the air fryer basket and make sure they're evenly spread out and in one layer. **
Close the air fryer and air fry for 11 minutes at 380 degrees Fahrenheit. ***
At the halfway mark, open the lid and use tongs to turn the samosas, or shake the basket. Close the lid and continue cooking.
When the cooking time is up, open the air fryer and check to make sure the samosas are cooked to your liking. If they're not crisp enough, increase the temperature to 400 degrees and air fry for another 2 minutes, if desired.
Serve with a dipping sauce such as tamarind sauce, cilantro chutney, mango chutney, ketchup or sweet chili sauce.
Notes
Note: Every air fryer's cooking time will vary due to wattage, capacity, and other factors. Always check on the food 2 to 3 minutes before the time is up to make sure it's not burning or overcooking!
* Trader Joe's brand of samosas were used in this recipe. Nutrition information is for Trader Joe's vegetarian samosas, without a dipping sauce.
** To make the samosas more crispy, spray both sides lightly with some oil spray; this is an optional step.
*** Trader Joe's chicken samosas may cook faster than the vegetable ones.
Every air fryer is different. Check on the samosas 2 minutes before time is up.
