Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 piece frozen empanadas store-bought or homemade (and frozen)

Instructions

  • Power on the air fryer and preheat to 350F.
  • Place frozen empanadas in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If the empanadas are thawed, brush the surfaces with an egg wash or melted butter, so they toast up nicely.
  • Set the timer for 10 minutes, and check on them after 6 minutes.
  • Flip the empanadas over, if you'd like, and continue cooking until they are crispy on the outside and hot on the inside (2 to 4 minutes).
  • The empanadas will be hot, so remove them carefully with tongs and enjoy!
