Do you really need an introduction to Samosa? If you’ve ever been to an Indian restaurant or friend’s house, chances are good you’ve had a samosa. They are delicious fried pockets stuffed with spices, potatoes, and other veggies.
Traditionally, they are fried in oil, which makes them crispy, but less healthy. Our family prefers making them in the air fryer or baking them in the oven so that we still get the same crispiness from our vegetable samosas.
Air fryer samosas are easy to make and much healthier than the traditional fried versions. They still have a crispy texture but much fewer calories.
They are great for bringing to parties, potlucks, or sharing with your vegan friends. Or you can make these as a dinner just about any night of the week if you want to.
This samosa recipe is very versatile. You can make it in your air fryer, regular fryer, oven, or pressure cooker with the crisper lid or airfryer lid.
