Air Fryer Empanadas

Air Fryer Empanadas

Today I made a really simple snack for my family, homemade Air Fryer Empanadas.

If you are looking for a really simple recipe, this is it. This will answer the question of how to fry empanadas in the air fryer. I used ground turkey, but obviously, traditional beef will work as well.

Empanadas In the Air Fryer

Ingredients:

  • Ground Turkey
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • Sweet Paprika
  • Cumin
  • Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Tomato sauce
  • Biscuit Dough
  • Egg
  • Water

Simple Directions:

  1. Start by browning the ground turkey (or beef) in a large skillet, add ground cumin, sweet paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well as you brown up the meat.
  2. After the meat is browned, please remove it from the heat, and pour the brown meat into a small bowl, mix in the tomato sauce.
  3. Roll out the biscuit dough and cut it into circles, about 4 inches wide.
  4. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of meat into the center of the circle.
  5. Sprinkle some cheddar cheese on top.
  6. Fold the empanada in half and use fork tines to seal the edges.
  7. Spray your air fryer basket with olive oil, and then set the empanadas into.
  8. In a small bowl, mix the egg white and water and brush on the empanadas with a pastry brush.
  9. Set the temperature to 350 degrees F for 6 to 9 minutes.
  10. Remove when cooked.
  11. Plate, serve, and enjoy!
