Reheating Your Empanadas
Empanadas reheat beautifully—your goal is simple: hot center + crispy outside. Pick the method that fits your moment:
Air Fryer (our favorite for best crisp!)
-
If refrigerated: 350°F for 4–5 minutes
-
If frozen: 350°F for about 8 minutes
Tip: Every air fryer runs a little different—add 1–2 minutes if you like them extra crisp.
Oven / Toaster Oven
-
Preheat to: 450°F
-
Use: a cookie sheet (or foil for easy cleanup)
-
If refrigerated: 6–10 minutes
-
If frozen: 15–20 minutes
-
Quick note: If you’re heating from frozen, you can still use the oven—just give it a little more time and check the center.
In a Pinch (Stovetop Crisp Method)
If you’ve got refrigerated empanadas and need fast:
-
Use a sauté pan on medium heat
-
Crisp both sides until warmed through
How you’ll know they’re ready
When the outside feels crisp again and the empanada is hot in the center, you’re good to go.
