How to Air Fry Empanadas
Schnelle Antwort
For empanadas — homemade beef empanadas (hand-sized, ≈100 g) — start with 375°F (190°C) for an estimated 14–18 minutes. Flip or turn at about 8 minutes. Use the preparation steps below and the full table for other sizes or starting conditions.

Homemade Empanadas
Assemble empanadas with your preferred filling (beef picadillo, chicken, spinach and cheese, etc.) and seal the edges by crimping with a fork. Brush lightly with egg wash (1 beaten egg with a splash of water) for a golden glossy finish. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes per side — flip once at 4–5 minutes. Total time 10–12 minutes.
Frozen Empanadas
Frozen empanadas go straight from the freezer to the air fryer. Set to 375°F and cook for 12–15 minutes, flipping at 6–7 minutes. They are done when the pastry is golden all over and the filling is hot through (check with a thermometer — it should reach 165°F). Add 2–3 minutes for jumbo-size empanadas.
Achieving Even Browning
Brush with egg wash or a thin layer of oil before cooking. Flip only once and do it decisively — indecisive flipping at the wrong moment tears the pastry. Ensure empanadas have space between them in the basket. Overcrowding causes steaming rather than crisping.
Serving and Dipping
Serve with chimichurri, salsa verde, sour cream, or a simple tomato salsa. Empanadas are best eaten hot within 10 minutes of cooking. If reheating, air fry at 350°F for 3–4 minutes. They reheat well and the pastry re-crisps nicely.
