One of the most popular desserts in Latin America is empanadas. They are usually filled with savory ingredients like ground beef or chicken, but these blueberry goat cheese empanadas are a twist on the traditional dessert.

The filling is made up of fresh blueberries and creamy goat cheese, which give them a fantastic flavor without being too sweet. These little hand pies make for the perfect summertime treat!

Of course, they all bake up amazingly in the Air Fryer! The pastry is light and fluffy, while the instead is creamy and fantastic!

There is nothing better than baking in the Air Fryer! Some of my favorite Air Fryer Dessert Recipes are AIR FRYER BLUEBERRY COOKIES, AIR FRYER COPYCAT BJ’S RESTAURANT & BREWHOUSE, CHOCOLATE CHIP PIZZA COOKIE, AIR FRYER PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES, and AIR FRYER EASY BLUEBERRY COBBLER.

What Is An Empanada?

Empanadas are a popular snack or meal all over South America. Originally from Spain, they became popular in other countries as well, like Argentina and Uruguay. They’re usually stuffed with meat and cheese and baked until crispy on the outside.

What makes them different than any other kind of sandwich is that they’re fried instead of baked, which creates a crunchy crust on the outside and delicious filling inside! You can make these at home right in your air fryer, without all of the oil and grease!

A healthier and delicious version!
