air fryer empanadas

Dinner
These easy Air Fryer Empanadas are filled with homemade beef picadillo – they come out crispy and delicious, much healthier than deep frying!

Ingredients

  • 8 Goya empanada discs, in frozen section, thawed
  • 1 cup picadillo
  • 1 egg white, whisked
  • 1 teaspoon water

Directions

  1. Spray the air fryer basket generously with olive oil spray to avoid sticking, or line the basket with air fryer parchment paper.
  2. Place 2 tablespoons of the picadillo in the center of each disc. Fold in half and use a fork to seal the edges. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  3. Whisk the egg whites with water, then brush the tops of the empanadas.
  4. Air fry in a single layer, in batches as needed 350F 8 minutes, turning halfway or until golden. Remove from heat and repeat with the remaining empanadas.
