Air fryer börek usually cooks at 180°C (350°F) for about 10–15 minutes. Preheat the appliance, arrange the pieces in a single layer, and check them partway through; thicker rolls and different air fryers may need more time.
Yes, you can cook frozen börek straight in the air fryer. Arrange the pieces in a single layer and allow extra cooking time so the filling heats through; check the centre before serving rather than relying only on a browned exterior.
To make air fryer börek with filo, layer or fold the sheets around a cheese filling, then seal the edges so the filling stays inside. Keep unused filo covered while working, since it dries quickly, and brush the outside lightly with oil.
Air fryer börek usually splits when it is overfilled, loosely rolled, or not sealed at the edges. Use a modest amount of filling, tuck in the ends, and place each piece seam-side down so the hot air is less likely to open it.
Feta-style cheese is a popular choice for air fryer börek because it gives the filling a salty, tangy flavour; ricotta or cottage cheese can make it milder. Drain wet cheese well, and add herbs such as parsley if you like.
For crisp air fryer börek, brush or spray the outside with a thin layer of oil and leave space between pieces. Avoid a wet filling, which can soften the pastry, and let the air circulate freely around each börek.
No, air fryer börek can cook without added oil, but a light coating helps the pastry brown and crisp. If the pastry or filling is already oily, skip it or use only a small amount to avoid a greasy result.
Yes, reheat air fryer börek in the air fryer for a few minutes until hot. This brings back some of the crispness better than a microwave, which tends to soften the pastry; check frequently so the thinner edges do not burn.
Cooked air fryer börek keeps in a covered container in the refrigerator for about three days. Let it cool before storing, and refrigerate it promptly rather than leaving it out for an extended period. Reheat until hot before eating.
Air fryer börek pairs well with a fresh salad, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, or a bowl of yogurt. For a Turkish-style breakfast or snack, serve it with tea; a tangy side helps balance the rich, savoury cheese filling.

Air fryer börek is a Turkish pastry made by wrapping or folding cheese filling in thin filo-style pastry, then cooking it in an air fryer. Börek is a familiar home-cooked and bakery staple in Turkey, and this method gives the pastry a crisp finish without deep-frying.
Expect a flaky, golden outside and a soft, savoury centre. In Turkey it is often served warm for breakfast or alongside tea, and it also makes an easy snack; elsewhere, it works well as a light lunch or party bite. It provides some protein—10.2 g per 100 g—but the pastry and cheese make it fairly substantial. Serve it with tomatoes, cucumber or a leafy salad, and skip brushing on extra oil for a lighter result.
