Cooking Steps

1

Keep refrigerated until ready to eat; best if used within 7 days.

2

OVEN: Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place the empanadas on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake on middle rack until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Flip halfway. (Note: Oven times may vary.)

3

AIR FRYER: Coat an air-fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange empanadas side by side in basket (you may have to work in batches!). Air fry at 375 degrees until golden brown, 7-9 minutes.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavor: Many found these empanadas bland; consider serving with salsa, hot sauce, or taco sauce for a flavor boost 🌶️.
  • Ease of prep: Quick to prepare in the oven or air fryer, though some had issues with empanadas falling apart before cooking.
  • Suggestions: Try adding your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor. Some preferred melty cheese over the ricotta-based filling.
  • Texture: Several noted the filling was dry or crumbly; others enjoyed the light, flaky pastry when cooked properly.
