Place the sandwich in the air fryer basket and press down with a heavy oven-safe plate or foil-wrapped brick.

Tip: The key to a great Cuban sandwich is pressing it flat while it cooks. If you don't have an oven-safe press, wrap a brick in foil or use a heavy cast iron skillet that fits inside your air fryer basket.
