  • Preheat an air fryer to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions. Line the basket with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Roll each piece in flour; roll in between your hands into a long, thin rope (the thinner the rope, the crispier they will be). Place all 8 ropes, one by one, in a circular mound into the prepared air fryer basket. Repeat with remaining dough balls. Spray each funnel cake with cooking spray.
