Notes
- Preheat the air fryer.
- Do not thaw empanadas first.
- Brushing with an egg wash will give these empanadas a flaky golden crust.
- Large empanadas will take a bit longer to cook, while mini empanadas may cook faster.
- Place the empanadas in a single layer, and don’t crowd the air fryer basket.
- Line your air fryer basket with foil for easy clean-up.
- Flipping the empanadas over during cooking is optional.
- If you want to make a big batch, place the heated empanadas on a baking sheet in a low oven to keep warm while you cook the rest in the air fryer.
- Storage - Store leftover cooked empanadas in an airtight container inside the fridge for 3 days. Keep frozen empanadas in the freezer for up to 3 months. Do not refreeze frozen empanadas once cooked.
