What it is

To prepare, these empanadas can be baked in an oven until golden brown and heated through. Alternatively, they can be cooked in an air fryer for a crispier texture. Ensure they are fully heated before serving. They are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven or air fryer. They do not require thawing before cooking, making preparation very straightforward.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional baked pizza, these empanadas offer a more compact and self-contained serving. The pastry crust provides a different texture than a typical pizza dough. They are also designed for individual consumption, unlike a large pizza meant for sharing.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for convenient and flavorful frozen food options will appreciate these.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, store any unused empanadas in the original packaging or an airtight container in the freezer. Keep them frozen until ready to cook. Proper storage helps maintain their quality and prevents freezer burn.
