We’ve sent you two kinds of flaky, savory empanadas! Half are filled with seasoned chicken thighs and veggies, and the rest are filled with margherita pizza flavors (like tomato sauce, basil, and mozzarella cheese). These Latin American pastries are the perfect appetizer or snack for any mealtime or gathering. All you have to do is bake or air fry them to golden perfection and share! We like to dip them in sour cream and salsa, but feel free to serve them with your favorite dips and toppings. Download recipe card for complete nutrition information.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

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, flipping halfway through, until golden brown, 15-18 minutes. (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, 8-10 minutes.

Review summary

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: Some found the empanadas lacking in flavor; consider serving with a flavorful dipping sauce or adding extra seasoning 🌶️.
  • Ease of prep: Air frying for 8-10 minutes or baking for 15-18 minutes yields golden-brown empanadas.
  • Suggestions: Try adding jalapeños or stronger spices to boost flavor. Serve with sour cream or salsa for extra zest.
  • Portions: A few customers wished for larger empanadas or more filling; these make a light appetizer or snack.
  • Texture: Some noted a thick crust; for best results, ensure even cooking and a crispy exterior.
