If you're looking for a quick and delicious snack, frozen empanadas cooked in an air fryer are a splendid choice. Simply preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F). While it's warming up, take your frozen empanadas straight from the freezer—there's no need to defrost them—and arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure to leave a little space between each one for optimal air circulation.

Cook the empanadas for about 12 to 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even crispiness. They’re ready when they turn a lovely golden brown and emit that enticing aroma. For an added touch, serve them with a side of chimichurri or your favourite dipping sauce. Enjoy the delightful crunch and savoury filling—perfect for a quick lunch or a tasty party appetiser!
